- Main feature in trailer - running- breathy noises
- Mum cast as famous actress Jennifer Lopez
- Lighting - Lighter at the beginning when mood is happy, becomes darker towards end as his obsession with her grows, (e.g- classroom, black and white pictures)
- A lot of casting male- singles mum (Jennifer Lopez) out as vulnerable
- Setting - normal town- based in school/house- relatable for audience so more intense
Sound
Non-diagetic sound
- Music- played throughout- very subtle at beginning- lyrics enter at end suggesting building fear and tension
- Music beats in time with fearful moments for the mum displaying her emotions (e.g- Noah saying 'it got pretty wet here'.
- Voiceover- mainly of mum- displays her fear of noah especially towards end-increases sympathy for her from audience
- Mum shouts over many shots - helplessness
Diagetic sound
- running - breathing- intense- as if she's trying to run away from it all- links to sex scene as if that one night meant she is now trapped
- Whispered tones when talking e.g- noah- ' You're beautiful'. - hints at the secrecy of their relationship
- When teacher goes to knock on door the knocking is silent- as if to represent her being seduced by Noah because she wasn't listening to other people
Camera shots/angles
- Frequent mid shots used - introduces character but possibly only showing half the story?
- Cuts become faster paced towards end of trailer - depicts tension/drama reaching climax
- Car crash - very quick flash- as if fatal or a flashback in a characters mind
- Shot after title - adds humour- Intrigue younger audience looking for a film that will also make them laugh not just frightened
Pace/Colours
- Pace - builds towards end in sync with music tempo increasing and dynamics rising
- Beginning of trailer - Mainly blue tones used, e.g- The mum character was wearing a blue top and so was her son. May suggest the innocence of the family at the beginning
- End of trailer/climax- Mainly brown tones used e.g- Her jacket was brown and the woods - trees/earthy colours. May suggest that innocence has been tarnished by Noah and what the mum has got herself into by falling for temptation.
