Conventions Of A Psychological Movie Trailer

These are conventions of horror film trailers:
  • Darkness
  • House
  • Flashes of light as a transition
  • Fade transition
  • Screaming
  • Eerie Music 
  • Doors slamming
  • Dialogue used as a form of voiceover
  • Company information at the beginning
  • Close ups of faces
  • Title of the film at the end
  • Release date at the end
  • The 'supernatural' being is not shown in great detail (either the view is obscured or it is seen from a distance)  
  • Main character being haunted is usually female
