In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? on Prezi

One of the key conventions I focused on in my trailer was low key lighting, in all of the trailers I looked at in my research I noticed a heavy use of low key lighting. The lighting being darker gives a more intense atmosphere and also gives the sense of impending fear. To the left is an example from my trailer and to the right is  an example from The Ring trailer.

Another convention we found in camerawork was close ups of the characters faces. It portrays there emotions well and gives a feeling of intensity. To the left is an example from my trailer and to the right is an example from The Strangers trailer.

Thirdly I noticed the use of fade to white and black in many of the existing trailers I watched pre-production. I used both in my trailer, they link the clips together well and along with the fast paced editing they give the audience a feeling of adrenaline.
