Get Out (Genre Conventions)

Genre Conventions

             
  • This trailer like most for thriller movies starts out completely normal with nothing wrong. 
  • It is instantly apparent that this is not an ordinary movie when a deer jumps and hit the windscreen. 
  • The music then changes from the upbeat happy music to much more tense, dramatic music to build suspense. 
  • In the trailer the viewers are told that this movie is from the production company behind many other well received thriller movies. 
  • It also stated that it was written and directed by Jordan Peele who is a well known director who specialises in thrillers. 
  • After the movie takes a turn for the worst and the suspense starts building, there is the use of fades to black in-between scenes rather than straight cutting.
  •  The end of the trailer is climatic and when this climax is reaches, the editing becomes much faster emphasising the fact that this man is in a dangerous situation.
