I have decided to look at the Uninvited which is a psychological horror which plays with the audiences minds. I will be looking at the components of the trailer for this film as I could not find a teaser and look at how the components are effective.
Genre: The genre from this trailer is very clear that it is a horror. In the category of horror it would come under psychological horror as it messes with the audiences mind, there is also a sense of thriller within the genre because there are moments which scare the audience and make them jump. Using shots that make the audience jump is very effective for horror genre as it keeps the audience on the edge of there seats.
Narrative: The narrative of the trailer shows the audience the main character a girl who comes home after being away as her mother died in a fire, when she comes back she finds out that her dad has a new girlfriend who she soon becomes suspicious about, she thinks that the new girlfriend is a murderer. The trailer shows quite quick shots that show scary scenes, this trailer uses alot of the silent pauses then the music builds up again. This keeps the audience interested as there is lots of suspense used.
This is the poster for the film The Uninvited, it is very ambiguous as it hides the characters identity, it is very dark and spooky which shows the genre. The text used is also very creepy like in horror movies when people write in blood and the size of the letters vary. This poster is very effective for the horror genre and looks interesting the mystery behind the character makes the audience want to know more. With the title the uninvited and a girl in the shadows looking in through a window makes the audience think why is she looking through the window like that, why is her identity hidden and why or who is uninvited.
