Genre = Thriller

In order for me and my group to produce a Thriller Trailer which is professional and effective, we can only compare and contrast previous Thriller trailers; from which we can establish what the conventions of a Thriller trailer are characteristics of. The locations used in the trailers are essential and useful as they set out clues about what the film entails and what it's about in terms of storyline. In Afterschool, for instance, the locations used reflects the protagonist's contrasting school-like behaviour with his bizarre and osychotic personality.

This simply demonstrates the locating of the character's first and how effective it turns out to be, first we see the protagonist in his school and we see him surrounded by normal sophisticated and respectable people such as teachers, colleagues, etc. and at this point we notice a very kind-hearted and mature side of the main protagonist, however the next location is his bedroom where he is with his school mates and we notice a sort of perverted side to him and we see various shots of a girl getting murdered brutally which leads us to this protagonist as a main suspect which starts to arises questions which therefore refers to locations as being a common convention of a Thriller trailer.

The use of Mise-En-Scene is highly effective in Thrillers as they're used to create suspense as it's approached in many different ways. We can see this in Moon as the Mise en Scene used in this British Thriller is spectacular as we get an eery sort of sense through the low key lighting and dark atmospheres used within the storyline.
