Nightmare on Elm Street horror trailer

This video caught my attention as I realised it was a remake of the original 'Nightmare on Elm Street' which was released in 1984. It kept my interest all of the way through the trailer and inspired me to want to watch the whole film. The trailer starts off by showing the murder of a man who becomes the killer, with what starts off as a silent soundtrack. This adds to suspense and mystery within the scene. The camerawork is all very fast with quick cuts, which fits in well with the pace of the scene. The editing throughout the trailer is mostly jump cuts from one person or scene to another.It shows alot of children who represent innocence and purity which can link to the innocence of the killer at the beginning of the trailer. The soundtrack at one point gets very creepy when children start singing in a slow, low voice, contradicting with the common goodness often linked with children. The majority of the sound heard throughout the trailer goes with what the viewer can see on screen, for example when a metal claw is scraped along a wall of some sort, a loud screeching sound can be heard to match the action seen on screen. The main colours used throughout the trailer are mainly red and black which fits in well with the theme. The word transactions also add to the atmosphere hugely, as does the voice of the killer towards the end of the trailer. They help to add to the suspense and creepyness and to overall keep the audience hooked.
