narrative

How is our narrative established in our trailer and ancillary texts?




In our trailer we do not have a lot of narrative, this is because the sound creates tension that narrative potentially couldn't have. Narrative was used to connect the characters and audience but we also did not want to give too much away because otherwise they would not want to watch the actual film.


At the beginning Shannon and Sean spoke about how their parents are going away to set the whole trailer. Due to their parents being away it all goes terribly wrong which is what normally happens in a horror film so we wanted to keep some stereotypes and by adding this to the beginning we can show the audience that it is not nice and innocent which is how the characters seem.
