Rohin (Face of Fear)
In this production there are a number of shots and camera movements present. An example of when a shot is used to create a certian affect, is the use of the close up, this is done to show the actors expression, as a result the audience knows how the actor is feeling and builds tension. At times a high angled shot is used, this is done to show one character is superior then the other. To coincide with this, a long shot is used to show the surroundings, which helps the audience to visualise whats actaully going on. In the trailer not alot of pans, tilts or zooms are used, however this could be seen as an advantage as sometimes certain camerawork could look unprofessional and very budgeted.
There are numerous camera movements and camera shots used in this piece of production and a prime example of this is when the directors used a close up shot to perceive an actors facial expressions which would create an effect and allows the audience to feel a connection with the actor through the feelings they are presenting, thus building suspense, and this can be seen at 1:17 of the trailer. There are many times throughout this trailer that a low angle shot is used, and this could have been because it emphasizes on the character being superior over others, as a result makes the audience more engaged because of the characters authenticity. In 0:48 of the trailer a long shot is used to focus on the characters body language, as in this part of the trailer the audience can see that the girl is frightened as she looks around feeling worried something bad may happen, therefore the audience might have a sympathetic feeling towards this girl which keeps the audience more engaged. The camera movements used in this trailer created a theatrical effect to keep the audience feeling in suspense and formed an enigma to keep them interested to go and watch the film.

Gurvinder (Saving Faith)
The sound involved in the trailer was mainly non-diegetic because of the soundtrack. The soundtrack coincides with the trailer quite good as matches the mood and situation going on in 'Saving Faith'. Such as at the start of the trailer when all is peaceful the soundtrack doesn't oppose to it. When the trailer becomes more open and shows the main conventions of the film such as violence the soundtrack alters to that particular genre. In terms of diegetic sound there wasn't a great deal of it in the trailer. However in most trailers they don't usually have this type of audio in it. When the violence appeared in the trailer the sound when someone was hit against the wall made it feel more realistic. Also this diegetic sound is felt by the viewers and creates an impact as they are aware that someone is inflicting pain.
A type music used in a trailer would automatically have connotations of what the genre is, and this trailer had a thriller/horror theme to it which tells the audience what they film might be about. A non-diegetic convention was used in this trailer because it created ambiguity to inveigle the audience and create an atmosphere which gave the trailer a bit authenticity and set an enigma. The soundtrack that is used in this trailer is mostly non-diegetic sound which was added for a dramatic effect to entice the audience. This soundtrack was exceptional as it set the mood for the audience to feel more engaged and it was used to introduce the characters. The audience can clearly see that at the beginning of the trailer the soundtrack was very mellow and calm which indicated a happy and peaceful moment. However when the trailer became more open and showed the main conventions of the film such as violence the soundtrack changed to that particular genre of thriller/horror. The diegetic sound used in this trailer made a connection with the audience because it created an impact when the actors were fighting, which made the audience aware that someone is inflicting pain.

Suhur (Face of Fear)
The lighting of the trailer and the beginning institution that was used, Warner Bros pictures was dark lighting. The use of the dark clouds were all conventions used to create a frightening climax to the trailer in order to fulfill the titles credentials. The dark clouds connotes dark and intensifying trailer.
The title of this trailer already tell the audience what the film might be about because it has a connotation of violence and frightening images which tells the audience it’s a horror theme, which already engages them to the trailer. At the beginning of the trailer the audience can see that the lighting used is low key lighting, this again relates to the genre because of the dark and gloomy colours for example the Warner Brothers picture shown when the trailer is starting has a shadowy lighting effect to it. The dark clouds are conventions that were used to generate a fear-provoking atmosphere to make the audience feel at unease thus making them more focused to continue watching. Face of Fear is a trailer that strived to elicit fear, horror and terror responses from audience, using its low key lighting.
