Analysis

Editing Quick cuts in into displaying fast pace of university life in America Uses a lot of titling -Caption slides a prank, no one would ever forget suggest to the audience what the plot f what the movie is about and also by using this it grips the audience attention, it creates suspense Black and white flashes when girl is murdered- horror effect (black out and white out) Titling again- caption slide a secret no one would ever tell draws more attention on the characters and how they act, suspense and an ominous atmosphere is created Quick cuts at the end unravelling the danger of what is to come in the movieleaves you wanting more.

The trailer uses actors that are the same age of my intended target group. The quick cuts allow the audience to get a sense of how quickly the danger happens in the movie without giving away too much of the plot away. By using the black hooded figure as the murder, this adds mystery in the trailer as the murderers identity is kept a secret.
