Teaser Trailer 2

Friday the 13th, Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan:

  • This trailer is good because the music is misleading at first. The music starts off by being quite upbeat and stereotypical of the happy New York, big city vibe. This gives the audience the impression that the tone of the film will be fairly happy and upbeat.
  • For the majority of the teaser, you can't see the antagonist properly as he is turned around and facing away from the camera. At the end of the trailer the antagonist turns round and surprises people. You see his mask and weapon which both have conventions of the horror genre. As soon as the audience see his face the music changes tone and gets far more dramatic.
  • After the antagonist has properly been shown it then cuts to a montage of different people screaming. Screaming is often very associated with the horror genre as it shows fear and danger.
