2. This editing technique what they used, is called fade in/out. They have used
this so that it creates tension as you don’t know what to expect next when the
screen turns black. This is conventional to the genre as, thrillers are all about
the unexpected. The trailers want to draw you into wanting to watch the film
but they don’t want to give away too much information therefore they include
the suspense scenes where you don’t see what happens at the end of them. On
the other hand, this is conventional to the form because, the trailer includes a
lot of short takes and cutting away of scenes, it keeps the audience engaged
and wanting to watch it.
