My summer horror film trailer was for a slasher, and it was about a killer murdering some protagonists in a graveyard.
The equilibrium introduces the setting of the trailer, and also introduces only a few characters. This follows the convention of the equilibrium of many horror film trailers, as their purpose is to introduce some things to the audience, such as the location and some characters. The equilibrium should not reveal every character because there will be no surprise for the audience when they watch the full film.
The disequilibrium reveals the killer, who has a knife, and is chasing one of the protagonists through the graveyard. It is conventional for something like this to happen in the disequilibrium as something has to go wrong. However, the killer is never fully revealed in trailers. Instead, only parts of the killer is revealed, so that it is still quite a surprise for the audience when the killer does eventually get completely revealed. But in my trailer, the killer is fully revealed so this does not follow this typical convention.
The montage involves seeing the knife stuck in the tree. Also, we see the killer again, and the protagonists . We then see the killer walk past all of these protagonists, each one of the dead, as a result of this killer. The montage should be the longest part of a teaser trailer, and my trailer is. It should also show the most scary parts, and this one does.
A stock scene in my teaser trailer is a killer with a knife. This is one of the most common stock scenes to see in a slasher horror film, so this is very conventional. Also, the killer is chasing a protagonist, which is another stock scene in my trailer.
The tone of my summer teaser trailer is very good, because it was filmed at night time, and also it is set in a graveyard, which is a good setting for a horror film because of the scary and tense atmosphere of it.
