Let me in- Review
This is my analysis of a horror trailer, I chose to discuss the editing, mise-en-scene, sound and camera angles of the film 'Let me in'. This analysis has helped me with my research into the making of my own horror trailer because it has allowed me to understand the typical conventions that are used within a horror trailer, meaning I will be able to take this away and use it within my own trailer.
The
production company logo tends to be found at the start of the trailer, at least
this is the case in the trailer of 'Let me in'. In terms of lighting for this
trailer, the boy is shown in a bright light, possibly indicating his innocence.
Whereas when the girl is shown, the lighting is much darker, highlighting that
the girl is not considered 'normal' and that she is not be seen in a bright
light. The mise-en-scene in this trailer supports the fact that the girl is not
perceived as 'normal' as she is wearing dark coloured make up underneath her
eyes, showing a lack of sleep, and has an abnormally pale face, suggesting she
could be malnourished. This makes the audience wonder why she is like this, and
believe that she is the villain in the film. Camera angles play an important
part within this trailer, such as the use of the long shot of the railway
gates. The lighting within this shot is also very dark, suggesting that this
could be a sinister place. Due to the fact that the gates are poorly lit, it
gives the audience the impression that something is being hidden.
