Trailer Deconstructions.

One Hour Photo.




  • This trailer does include conventions to a typical teaser trailer. 
  • Short shots which build up towards the end of the trailer. 
  • Pace of transitions between frames quickens and intensifies the atmosphere of the trailer. 
  • Has a narrative but doesn't give much away about the plot to the audience. 
  • Conforms to genre: low key lighting, quick frames, enigmatic.
  • The trailer has lots of close up , establishing and tracking shots framing the main characters (antagonists and protagonists).

American Psycho.




  • Mostly conforms to trailer conventions but it contains a lot more longer shots.
  • Close up and establishing shots are longer.
  • Longer and slower frame changes between shots. 
  • Does not have many typical conventions of its genre (psychological).
  • Does have obsessive footage e.g. exercise, order. 
  • Displays the main characters (antagonists and protagonists) and reveals some narrative to interest its audience.
