The trailer opens by introducing the setting of the film with the use of a long shot. As it’s night time it instantly gives it a spooky feel.

It then has a close up of two characters, this is telling the audience they are going to features a lot in the film (main characters).

Quite early on in the trailer there’s a lot of fast cuts with bright lights, building up tension for the audience also causing the to be slightly scared of what’s happening.

There’s a zoom into the doll that’s on the film poster, catching the audiences attention to the doll that they’ve probably seen on the poster already.

Like the other two trailers, the audience are told the producer of the film, in a black out. This allows the trailer to flow better.

A wide shot is used to make the viewer think they are suppose to look at the lady but there attention gets draw to the women walking in the corner. The audience is now questioning where the women has come from and who she is.

The audience was shown a few close ups of the character using the sewing machine, making them wonder if something is about to happen. Building up more tension.

There is then a close up showing that the characters finger started to bleed from the sewing machine.

There’s then some happy, pleasant shots broken up by black outs, which is the complete opposite to the fast paced cuts we saw at the beginning.

The shot is quite bright and colourful unlike any of the other shots before in the trailer.

• Towards the end of the trailer there are more fast cuts, this is like the other two trailer. While the audience sees the fast cutting the music is also building up tension as it gets faster and faster, this is something horror trailers do a lot to make the scenes more scary.

• The trailer includes dialogue and also dramatic sounds when something happens. Towards the end the music sounds like a jewellery box, however it sounds spooky.
