Conventions Of Horror Film Trailers

-They highlight the 'best bits' of the film.
-We are not shown the story in the narrative order.
-They showcase the stars of the film.
-Some images stay on screen just long enough for our mind to comprehend them.
-Conversations between characters often consist of one line each.
-Unusual angles are often used to showcase events or characters.
-Action is interspersed with credits on screen.
-Voiceovers tell the story and give credit information (but rarely in horror trailers)
-Music plays a vital role in creating a spooky atmosphere!
-The title often doesn't appear until the end.
-The trailer builds to a climax, where it ends.
