The Roommate:
Key Conventions:
- Change in music to create a scary mood. In the trailer the music goes from a cheery guitar riff to a eery high key piano riff, which has repetitive thuds on the drums.
- The trailer builds up in tension as it goes on.
- Inter-titles to add extra information and gentle hints, e.g 'Only have one Room mate'.
- The actors voices are normal and happy at first but change to soft and scared at the end.
- There are a selection of moments which appear in a disorentated sequence to scare you. For example there are jump cuts to extreme close ups of the stalkers face.
- The jump cuts were always on the loud thud of the drum
The Hitcher:
Key Conventions:
- Dialogue from selected areas of the film played in the backgroud so that the audience can understand the plot.
- Flashback to normality in the middle of chaos.
- Choir hyms are sung when we go back to normalitly however voilent strings and loud crashes are played when the trailer becomes more thrilling.
- Quick fade out to black.
- Flashes from black to picture quickly and repetitively to build tension and disoreintation.
The Fan:
Key Conventions:
- Voice over hinting to the plot of the film. For example 'To one fan he meant so much more. A fan that never stopped believing... Always watching...Waiting to be a part of his life'.
- Inter titles that show the producers and actors names
- Starts off with equilibrium and ends with dis-equilibrium.
- Music gradually builds up pace.
- Loud hits of a bat on jump cuts.
- Quick fade to black's.
