Slither trailer

Horror

At the start of the trailer they have mainly long shots, close up shots such as their wedding picture also bright lighting and parallel sound has been to show the setting connoting a perfect lifestyle of the movie how everything looks perfect the brightness of the lighting connotes their relationship of being happy together and in love by the close up shots you can see the characters facial expressions which looks like they are happy and are really in love with each other. However the setting changes such as the male protagonist going to the forest from that setting and onwards the lighting becomes dark and the sound gets louder and scarier, this suggests the genre horror by the movie being dark and the sound changing giving an exciting and a mystery effect which is enigma code to engage the audience with the movie.

After the protagonist becoming a monster they mainly use long shots to show what the monster does to the people and what occurs in the scene and close up shots to show the characters emotions which is most of the time that they are terrified. At the end of the trailer they have used a contrapuntal sound when the woman is about to kiss the monster, this makes the audience feel confused about the genre of the movie because it is not something that you would usually see in a horror movie, at the same time it gives the audience an idea of the genre being a comedy movie because it looks weird and funny when the monster and woman are trying to kiss each other which you would not expect.
