COURSEWORK DRAFT

What I found out about the posters and trailers I watched

TRAILERS
-Nearly all the trailers I watched had blackouts or fades which suggests that they essential for a thriller trailer. This may be because they add suspense to the film which engages the audience, or it could be used as a cliff hanger.
-All of the trailers had intense or eerie music which adds tension, leading up to the idea that something bad and shocking is going to happen. This is typical for a trailer as it gradually builds up interest in the film.
-There were scenes of low lighting which adds a sense of mystery and also 'the unknown', which intrigues the audience.

POSTERS
-Dark colour scheme which connotes evil and possibly mystery.
-Fairly simple as they do not what to give away too much information, (less is more).
-Unknown characters or figures which creates a sense of the unknown and endless possibilities.
-Enigma.
