Conventions of teaser trailers are that they are not very long, they also do not give much away about the film so that it teases the audience in wanting to watch the film and also the pace starts slow and speeds up nearer to the end. I have used teaser trailers conventions in my trailer such as not giving much away about the film also that it is rather short being only 1 minute 32 seconds long. Our horror trailer also is slow paced at the beginning and get faster paced nearer the end. Other horror conventions that have been used are something returning in the past such as we used a diary in an attic to awaken a secret from the past. We also used a lot of hand held camera work in our trailer so that the audience sees through the eyes of the victims. We have edited pace in the middle and end of our trailer to create suspense. Also jumpy cuts from long shots to close ups and medium shots to create a feeling of jumpiness and that something may about to happen and keeping the audience hooked. Also another convention that has been used is sounds such as sudden boom to create jumpiness and tension also fast past music to keep up with the shots in the trailer and also creepy low pitch music to create suspense and tension. Iconography has been used Low key lighting has been used to create darkness and also the colours black and red to connote danger, darkness, blood and evil. Also weapons such as a knife and also blood.
