One thing that immediately stuck out to my with this trailer was how it juxtapositions itself from the beginning to the end of the trailer. The start of the trailer starts off as a sort of 'kind' trailer and with the name of the movie called fool audiences into making them believe that this was in fact perhaps a romantic movie. However by the end of the trailer that clearly isn't the case as the trailer takes a dark and sinister turn that is able to captivate the audience. This is something i believe is extremely clever and something i believe can and will influence my trailer as it takes the audience on a emotional rollercoaster with them not knowing what to expect from the trailer.
The trailer also decides to promote this trailer by not giving too much away in terms of plot, as judging by trailer the only known facts that we the audience are given is that there is a happy couple who are visited by strangers and from there the trailer just gets darker and darker. This is a great way to market the trailer as it'll make the audience want to see the movie so that they know what its all about. The trailer is really brilliant creating the idea of suspense and not allowing the audience to guess whats going to happen leaving them in the unknown.

One of the strongest aspects of this trailer is the sound. The sound is brilliant at its job which is clearly trying to maintain and create the suspense leaving the audience in the unknown. The music has a disturbing tone to it that makes audience feel nervous and uncomfortable which can relate to the movie as theres clearly something disturbing going on with the movies plot. The soundtrack used in the trailer is something that has inspired me and influenced already as its the type of music that id look to use in my trailer, music that can put the audience on edge and really get them engaged into the movies plot.

The cinematography of the film is also something of beauty as the colour of the film feels just ever so slightly drained back and has quite the retro feel yet again giving the movie a unique, un-natural and unsettling feeling.

Another thing this trailer does so well is its use of camera work, for the majority of the trailer the camera techniques that is mostly used is either a close up or a mid-shot, what makes this work so well it that not only does it allow you to see the characters emotions up close giving it a unsettling feel but also it traps you within that camera frame is seeing just mainly the face and or body which restricts your view of the scene further going along with the idea of the audience not knowing too much about the movies plot and making sure the audience doesn't really know whats going on. By using these restrictive camera angles it means that when the trailer does show a different shot its impactful and really stands out.

The editing of the trailer is also impactful as the trailer mainly uses the technique of fast paced editing although a very simple technique in this trailer the editings fast paced adds to unsettling tone and makes you feel uncomfortable with how fast the trailer is moving along, additionally the fast paced editing doesn't allow the audience to really understand a particular scene not allowing them to take everything in.

Overall i believe this is a great trailer and a trailer that i believe i will be looking at when the time comes to shoot my own trailer as there are many things that can influence me in terms of sound and also keeping things pulled back so that the audience doesn't really get the fully picture making them want to re-watch and eventually watch the movie as there intrigued by the events that has happened in the trailer.
