Conventions of Horror trailers


By analysing previous horror trailers this has allowed me to be able to come up with a list of conventions which are typical of the Horror genre that differ from other genre of trailer.
Sudden signs of ghost/spirits
The battle of good vs. evil
High pitch screams
Death and blood
Always a protagonist, i.e. victim who survives
Dark/scary atmosphere might have a dull day so no sunlight
Common dialogue such as “who’s there?”
Normally there is an appearance of a good force such as the police
Isolated location is key
Music always indicates that there is a scary moment coming up
Normality is always questioned
