Change of Genre - Trailer Analysis

My original idea was to use comedy as the genre of my trailer. However i have now decided to change to horror as it  would allow me to use more of the conventions. My horror movie would adopt most aspects from films like Blair witch Project, The Grudge and I Spit On Your Grave.

Trailer Analysis: Conventions i would use for my trailer

Blair witch Project- Most of the shots are handheld making the trailer more realistic and colloquial. Also one of my settings would be located in the woods of St. Helen's where the eerie atmosphere would contribute towards the Gothic conventions of my trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Hw4bAUj8A

The Grudge- The convention that I am planning on adopting is the way the inter titles are used. There is a high tempo that adds suspense and allows more time for the titles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj88_yqlFMA

I Spit On Your Grave- This trailer has a voiceover  throughout and I would adopt this for my one aswell. It makes it more dramatic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3zDSzULMqM
