A Nightmare On Elm Street -Teaser Trailer

This is the teaser trailer for the film 'A nightmare On Elm Street'. At the beginning of the trailer we are instantly shown a deserted run down building, a location often associated with the horror genre. Music is played powerfully in the background, creating tention immediately. Colour shown is limited, mainly grey and dismal, creating a cold and isolated emotion. We are shown a man running, escaping by hiding in a building, whilst a group of people stand outside holding 'weapons', exhibiting threatening behaviour. A shot of the man crouching down inside the bulding, fearfully, automatically engages the audience into having sympathy for him. Fire is thrown into the building and a shot of an explosion is shown from outside the building. This attracts the audience into wanting to know the outcome and so therefore they procede to watch the film. The trailer uses dialogue from the characters in the film, and so the audience are able to relate further with the film.
From here, we are then given an intertitle informing us that the film is from producer, Micheal Bay, this will attract audiences whom have liked Micheal Bay's previous works.
An echoed slow sound of children singing nursery rhymes is played in the background. Children are often used in horrors to indicate loss of innocence. Also in the trailer, sharp sudden sounds are used to emphasise characters movement, thus grabbing the audiences attention moreso.
The main scenes from the film are shown briefly and quickly, flickering from one shot to another. The music in the background also changes to this quick, jolty movement and so this furthers the tension.  A scene of a graveyard is used, a typical location of the horror genre.
We are shown the title of the movie, which is in red, a colour often assosciated to blood. We then hear dialogue from the attacker, which takes us to the last scene shown in the trailer, where we see him head towards the female character. This leaves us in suspense wanting to know what happens next.
