"A Nightmare on Elm Street" Teaser Trailer

This trailer does follow a majority of the movie trailer conventions. It has dialogue from the film, music that increases in pace and volume towards the end and a production value showing the director of the film. This has a fairly unusual start as it appears as an action film, this could be due to the fact that this is a remake and so a twist would prevent boredom in the audience, but it rapidly begins to twist into horror as the music changes to steady drums and also has the eerie singing of a young girl(s) begins. There is no V/O but there is an on-screen message displaying the production value of the director for those who look out for his films. There is a lot of darkness within the shots of this trailer, this would be to give a nightmarish feel or to connote mysteriousness. My favourite shot has to be the blade touching the boy's back and at the same time, a metallic sound. It has that ideal horror element. An element that I feel I could encorporate into my trailer would be the use of an action theme at some point in the trailer to slightly confuse the audience.
