Five Thriller Teaser Trailers

I have chosen five different Thriller teaser trailers however, this time instead of finding out the conventions of teasers, I am focusing on the genre.

I have chosen the following film posters to use:

• The Adjustment Bureau 
• The Next Three Days 
• Prisoners 
• The American 
• Unknown 

List Of Thriller Poster Conventions

Having looked at a selection a thriller posters, I have compiled a list of conventions that are found with thriller posters.

• Side lighting on characters. this can be used to suggest two sides to someone's personality 
• Muted colour scheme 
• Characters usually chasing/running
• Tagline directly addressing the audience often implying threat 
• Setting in an urban environment 
• Mise-en-scene associated with the genre. e.g. using of guns
• Characters often have an indirect mode of address which suggest that they have something to hide
• Canted framing is often used, to create a sense of unease
• Actors that are associated with the genre are used 
• Bold font is used for the title and tagline
• High angles to show vulnerability and weakened on certain characters.  

This will help me when it comes to making my own poster because I will look back and refer to this.
