conventions
shadow character - in this trailer there is a few shots of a character that is in the shadows and is not clear who it is ,this is the same as two off the other the trailers I have analysed that are se7en and zodiac and is a common theme in trailers because it is an enigma and it makes the audience wonder who it could be .The use of enigma is great for thriller trailers because it gives another reason to go and watch the film because the audience is intrigued as to who the shadowy character is and what his/her role is in the film.
Another convention is a voice over from someone that isn't a character ,this convention is very common in older films but it is a old convention these days and is very rarely seen . It is common in older trailers such as se7en.
Sound
At the beginning of the film there is a small cry from a women that sounds like they're in pain , it's a small short sound but it sets the tone for the rest of the trailer and captivates the audience straight away because the noise is very not able and sets you on edge so you are very focused on the rest of the trailer ,during the beginning there is a Erie time of music that is quite quiet but is still not able and builds up the tension as the schemes go on, this engages te auidnace even more as it makes them wait in anticipation . The music then stops as crucial plot points are revealed and focuses the audiences whole attention to the points to give away some more information about the film , then a up beat loader music starts as a chase begins and suprises the auidnace because of the volume and suden change in pace , this also is a relatable point as many people have a fear of being chased so it interacts with the viewers even more so than usual .Unformilar sounds flash up as the victim is talking about their experience , this adds to the mystery as the sounds may be linked to the film and the situation and the sounds are unknown also adding to the realism to the viewers because of the fear of the Unknown
