Another trailer I'm going to be looking at is the
Black Swan trailer, in order to further my research of the conventions of thriller trailers :
1. Narrative
1. The aim is to create suspense/mystery and excitement for the audience
2. Violence is often a key theme within thriller films
3. The protagonist is an outsider, but is suggested to have good intentions.
4. Thrillers often begin with an unjust society, which the protagonist try's to work against.
2. Mise-en-scene
1. Antagonist wears dark or black clothing
2. blood and violence
3. Low-key lighting to create an atmosphere of suspense or gloom
5. Settings include isolated places
7. Proxemics utilised in order to simulate claustrophobia
3. Sound
1.A slow tempo
2. Slow or eerie music in order to create suspense or uncertainty
3. Silence or screaming
4. Heightened diegetic sounds
4. Camera angles, shots and movement
1. Tilt shots or otherwise disorientating angles and shots to create discomfort within the viewer
2. Close-ups and extreme close-ups of the protagonist
3. High angle shots to show the a character's dominance over another character, usually the
antagonist over the protagonist
