Still Image Analysis Editing

One Editing technique used in the trailer is the eye line match. It shows the woman’s confused state as she

is concentrating to see what is in the distance, then cuts to show what she is focusing on. The is

conventional to the genre because, it adds in suspense to the scene as one minute it shows confusion in

the woman’s face then cuts to a mysterious photo. This shows that it must be a significant and meaningful

photo to the film. This is also conventional to the form because, the trailer is mysterious and cuts to shot

takes of different scenes therefore showing that it is fast paced. The lighting is very dark which creating the

effect of it being very mysterious and obscure. The woman is seen to be very shadowy creating the effect

that she is not very important. She looks as if she is wearing rich clothing as they look silk like.

Another editing technique used was cutting,

this is a significant feature in a film trailer

because, it gives you an insight into the film as

it’s showing you a lot of short clips one after

another at different times rather than long

takes on certain clips. It is specific to the genre

as, a thriller is packed with hidden messages

and action scenes therefore to include certain

parts in a trailer they must make them short

takes. The form of a thriller, is usually

characterised by a mood of violence, the tone

of a thriller is usually coarse, slick and explicit

and the film trailer presents all of them.

The conventions of a thriller trailer

is to keep the audience of the edge

of their seat. The trailer is very

gripping and full of twists and turns

with the amount of scenes included

in the trailer therefore it certainly

keeps them on the edge. They tend

to create suspense, tension and

uncertainty. The dark scenes in the

trailer point of the uncertain moments.

This editing technique what they used, is called fade in/out. They have used

this so that it creates tension as you don’t know what to expect next when the

screen turns black. This is conventional to the genre as, thrillers are all about

the unexpected. The trailers want to draw you into wanting to watch the film

but they don’t want to give away too much information therefore they include

the suspense scenes where you don’t see what happens at the end of them. On

the other hand, this is conventional to the form because, the trailer includes a

lot of short takes and cutting away of scenes, it keeps the audience engaged

and wanting to watch it.
