horror
The teaser trailer plays upon
the conventions of a horror.
The static effect, which has
been edited in, allows the
trailer to fit the motif of
amateur
cameras/surveillance cams
being the key feature of the
film. The static also follows
the cult classic horror films
that involve technology such
as Poltergeist and White
Noise and The Ring. The
static is a tool of
‘technological horror’ films
that adds grittiness to the
overall feel of the film. It
suggests paranormal
imposing on scientific
media.
