5 Trailer Analysis

Here, I have analyzed five different movie trailers to help gain more knowledge on conventions which are currently used in modern day horror films. This will help show how the movies or trailers have developed over the years drastically. The movie trailers I have analysed are Saw, Paranormal Activity 3, Sorority Row, Scream 4 and Friday The 13th. After analysing these trailers I have learnt key common conventions which are included in trailers in today’s society. An example of this would be the slow pace increasing to face pace editing, colours used in the mise en scene and the different and range of camera angles used.
