The link above is a summary of some different conventions out a series of different horror trailers that we had seen and analyses. When looking at these different horror trailers we found that non of the actors names are often showed within the trailer. the reason for this could be to make the audience feel as if they are more closer to the actors as the character they are playing more than who they are actually are. Also the links to social media within most horrors aren't often there, the reason for this is to give the idea that they are all alone with no one to help them. However it is also used in some horrors however it is trying to create a different type of atmosphere within the horror this is because they are trying to bring the horror to a more realistic level with linking it more to society today.
one main conventional that we picked out with the trailers is that the more newer trailers try to start of  more normally and innocent such as in the day where there is nothing wrong happening, however the slightly older Scream did start like this at all the reason for this is because it would have been viewing to a much different audience and once again they are trying to get right to the action to give them all the action that is going to take place in the film right at the start.
In conclusion when looking at typical conventions most horrors ten to stick to them, however some try to twist it to try and make a slightly more different atmosphere within the film. The next main difference with the use of conventions is when the film was made, this is because they are going to be appealing to a very different type of audience of what are going to have different expectations.
