Music
The Music is romantic sad music.It starts of quiet and slow but slowly builds up when the focus is on her being followed.

There are a lot of mid shot of the characters, this establishes character relationships. Also there are long shots of the settings. Furthermore the shot at the beginning of the main character getting out the bus tell us she is in a new place.

'I've had things happen to me in the past,things that scare me', 'he's here' 'it's everything i was scared of', these three piece of dialogue tell us that character is afaird of a man who will soon find her.When she say 'i'm happy hear with you' it shows the romantic side of the film and that she feels safe with him.

The main female characters starts talking on one shot then it carries on to another where she is not talking but teh sentance is being carried on. Also at the end the main man says 'you're safe with me' plus a long shot of the two characters cuddling.
Special Effects
There is slow motion when she is running, this could connotes that she can not get away from her ex fast enough.
Credits and Inter titles
The text is black,bold and easy to read. There is also text saying what other books the writer of this book has written as the viewer might be interested in some of the other books and therefore might like this story. The text is also synchronous with the music.
The Strangers
Genre
Psychological ThrillerNarrative
This film is about a couple who are potentially getting married are staying at a house in isolated area. There house gets broken into by three masked people and they are trying to kill the couple.
Unique Selling Point
The unique selling point is that while it is a Thriller is an meant to scare you there is also a romantic story in it which could attract a wider audience
Target Audience
I think the target audience would be men and women aged 16-25 as at this age you could be in a relationship or it could be for young females to see together.
Music
The first twenty seconds of the trailer shows the romantic side of the film, and so there is slow, elegant and almost a sad piano song playing. After that when they show that intruders want to enter the house the low pitch music slowly rises louder then comes to a holt when you see the masked person, it then all of a sudden becomes loud. there is also music that is meant to be playing in the house which ends up playing the same part of the song as if it is a scratched record.
Shot Types/ Camera Angles
At the beginning there is a lot of long shots to show the setting, these are then followed by close ups of details of the house e.g the petals on the bed, this shows there is romance. there is also mid shots at the beginning which establish the characters relationship. There is long shots also as the trailer goes on of the places where loud sounds are coming from. there is also close ups which show us they are worried and are trying to protect themselves, i.e the lady locking the door. Furthermore there are also long shots which show the victim and the masked people in the same shot to show the characters fear.
Pace
The trailer starts off slow paced as it shows the relation ship between the characters and lets the viewer know the setting. However when the masked peoples presence is known the pace picks up with lots of shot clips with a couple slower clips in between to break them us at to tell the views a bit more of the narrative, as from lots of short clips we wouldn't have much of an idea of the story line.
Dialogue
The dialogue at the beginning reinforces the idea of love 'you are my girl' and 'I love you Jimmy'. The female says 'what is that?' this shows the views that there is uncertainty which a thriller should contain. The dialogue that tells us they are in an isolated location is when jimmy says 'I haven't heard a dog bark or a car pass'. At the end of the trailer the female lead says 'why are you doing this to us' showing us that they have had contact with the masked people, this makes the viewer wonder what they are doing to them and why.
Credits and Inter titles
