Friday The 13th Trailer

Here, I have chosen the Friday the 13Th trailer, as it relates to my groups genre of a horror, phsyco thriller hybrid. The trailer opens with water and a audio of a mother explaining her son's death and tha it was his birthday. This creates enigmas for the audience, why is she saying this? The lighting here is also bright, keeping the audience aware of what is going on.

The trailer then continues with a group of teenagers on a road trip travelling to one of the teenager's parents cabin. Then the horror really starts. Once the teenagers are settled in and having fun swimming and using the resources, one of the girls spots a dark mysterious person walking in and staring at her. Who is this strange person? This gives the audience more enigmas to solve, therefore keeping the audience hooked.

In this trailer, there is a mixture of both natural lighting, and low key lighting. This enables all the precious details to be captured so the audience is continually aware of what is happening. The audio here is very eerie and well suited to the trailer. The trailer has the perfect conventions of a hybrid genre, being: Eerie audio, low key lighting,vunrable characters and or course the phsyco killer!

The shots are mainly close ups to capture the characters moods and reactions. The editing is fast paced, which contributes to the horror and thrill of the events going on in the trailer.

This trailer can influence our group as it contains the majority of the conventions as Friday the 13th does, as we also have a physco killer.
