I thought this trailer for the film 'The Strangers' was particularly effective in the contrast of tones from begging to end. the trailer starts with clips of homely and friendly houses in a slide show style, along with an ambient sound to compliment this, an old fashioned song.but then quickly deteriorates in to something much darker and sinister. along with this 'homely feel' the trailer gives out, there is also the topic of love and two young vulnerable characters alone together. the tone changes with a whisper and the pace quickens along, using the slide show style with clips and images of the scary events. i found the shutter sound added effect to the mood of horror, and the editing of the picture, in dark tones with sepia and reds standing out and appearing as they are old photos from the past. I think the slide show, shutter style would be an effective quality to apply to my own teaser trailer.
