I think our film is similar to other film trailers as it follows the codes and conventions of a horror film. It builds tension for the target audience, creating effect and so they would want to carry on watching it. This is important in a film trailer as you want the audience to be gripped and ready to go and see the film. Also they dramatic music and surprising titles gives out more information to the audience such as the background of what is happening and so the audience are able to get a slight understanding of the story line.
I think we have many strengths in our film trailer which overall gave us an effective finish. One of the main strengths I think is the way we have layered non-diegetic sound over the top of each other which allowed us to add dramatic 'bangs' in with the quieter piano music which contrast and makes the audience aware that something may happen. The diegetic sound that we had included of the two parents arguing was made to echo as if they were talking over the top of each other and showing the extent of their arguing. Another strength that I believe we had as a group is using different camera angles and so the audience saw footage from different angles making it more dynamic and interesting to watch.
A weakness that we had when making this trailer is the fact that not only did we have to re-film some of the footage because of the quality being different due to filming it on different cameras, I think we could have made the final shot of Carly's face slightly longer and so the audience are able to see the panic that is on their face, making them want to sympathize with the character more which is what we want.
