Conventions in Teaser Trailers - 'Scream VI'


  • Production company logo (Paramount)
  • Establishing shot of New York City
  • It shows a shot of a normal equilibrium with sinister sound effects which builds up excitement, anticipation and adds enigma for the audience
  • Non diegetic music that matches the genre
  • Titling that gives some of the narrative which is inserted between the scenes (this teases the audience by uncovering some of the narrative)
  • There are cuts between the scary, familiar scream antagonist and the other characters which through the medium close up shots, show fear and this builds up enigma for the audience
  • The quick cuts of each character, accompanied by the sinister sound effects puts the audience on edge and almost teasers them to guess who is going to be the victim
  • The conventions of horror are shown through the eery music and piercing sounds and as the action takes place, the narrative is cut off at a crucial point which eases the audience further
  • The final shot is the scream total with the iconic mask and the date of release (also has all the social media information)
  • The length of the trailer is 1.05
