Having already seen this film, I would say that trailer is much better than the actual film. The build up of tension and suspense was going all the way through it. The major problem with it is the way the characters are not very convincing. The choice of generic conventions are very obvious, the typical story-line of the 'curious babysitter who goes to investigate instead of doing as she was told'. What I liked about the trailer was the long periods of silence which adds to the tension and fear. It also makes things ambiguous because the audience can't hear what's going on. Mise en scene aspects are the dark lighting, implying danger and mystery.
The cuts are fast paced, and distorted, however you can see they clearly link, this makes the thriller more generic as it's mysterious.
There are also many close ups, which we can use in our piece to show each character's expression and how they react to parts of the film. In this trailer the main protagonist is faced with many dramatic events, and the audience will be able to see this clearly.
