I have chosen 'The Unborn' as it is a very jumpy film and scared me so much in the cinema!!.the music makes you feel so uncomfortable especially the little boys scream. and the fact you actually don't know how it will end where as most films you have some idea.



key conventions

the genre of the movie i shown clearly with the little boys voice sounding disturbed
the first piece of text shown is 'rogue pictures' .the name of the movie is shown at the end but through outit has the name of the producer, co- writers, 'this january' 'he wants to be born'and at the end has a repeat of the names just in case they have not been seen.
The most tense pieces of the trailor are:the little boy at the start saying 'he wants o be born now' when she see's herself being killed by the little boy. when some kind of unexplained creatur comes through the walls to get her. tye man crawling up the stairs and his neck turns right around, when the old lady is ging to be attacked and the end scene of the exorcism.
the music at the star is the odd sound of a drm beat sounding like a heart beat to make the audience feel tension. after the line 'he wants to be born now the music becomes very loud and all of s sudden goes i nto a more lighter sound showing her everyday life but with that hint of scarce to show she is in dangeras th grandmother explains what happened i the past the musc is very intense with drums and whispering with the occasional high pitched scream the drumming is continuous throught out to show the rate of a heart beat with this music you find your heart pumping alog at the same time. There is then a build up towards the end with the odd 'jumpy' moments to get you ready for the big scene. yoou also get one single note being held quietly before a big souns of a drum to show you this is more of a supernatural movie. and towards the end getting a chior singing in very low voices showing what ever this is it is coming fat.
there is a voice over through out but it is from main lines for mthe movie so the audence understands what te plot is with lines such as 'he wnats to be born now' ' you are a twin' 'your mother never tols you but i knew' 'by living oyu denied it entry to our world' 'do you think it's possible to be haunted by somene who was never born' even though she is asking her friend in the scene this we see this as her asking us so it plays on our mind.
i agree with the key conventions and without these we would not get an incite of what was actually going o nand we probably wouldnt be interested.
In my opinion i think the conventions in the trailer do really sell the film, it shows the audience what the plot is based on without mentioning too much on how it happened and why it is coming for the main protagonist.
