In my trailer, I used several forms, conventions and theories that are found in real horror films. Click the image to see an analysis of a range of those used.

Your comments on the stills are generally good, Sonny, although I think that you should add some more text directly to this post which explores some of the horror conventions, and trailer conventions, that you have not chosen to discuss yet. Look at the big A3 genre sheet and the sheet on trailer conventions, and pick some of those you have not explored very fully, and write about them in relation to your trailer. For example, you don't really say much about the expressive camerawork of the horror genre - extreme angles, canted framing etc. Similarly you don't explore, for example, the language devices used in inter-titles, which are a common convention of trailers. Not necessary to get images to ilustrate every point if you don't have time.
