Scream 3

Scream 3 is a 2000 American slasher film directed by the renowned Wes Craven, the trailer initiates with the main character picking up the phone, this is portray in greyscale which could connote that the horror trailer is misty. The horror goes straight into disequilibrium in the pace of the trailer speeds up hence creating tension and suspense. This is also supplemented by a range of screaming and non-degetic sound which increased as the trailer became more intense. Furthermore, the trailer has obscured the identity of the villain play placing a mask over his face this is a common feature of horror trailers leading the audience to anticipate futuristic events. The villain also used a weapon (knife) to be more of a threat to the victims but to also bring about the feeling of penetration through the sadistic approach conveyed by the theorist Roland Barthes.

As the trailer progresses the editors have implements a substantial degree of jumps cuts to place the audience on the edge of their seats but to also capture the emotions of the main characters through the use of close-up shots which depict fear and vulnerability. Moreover, the trailer intentionally changed the lighting to create gloomy effect, as the trailer is a thriller the use of explosions and a range of running scenes is effective method of instilling fear into the mind of the audience hence having a physiological effect on the way they interpret the trailer. Lastly, the editors have used montage editing meaning that the trailer has used a variety of different shots in which the audience have to digest.
