Analyse the visual style and editing of the trailer
- The visual styles such as when we see the girl fading and
waking up is a good effect as it can connote to the audience that
the girl was in a dream and just woke up from it. This is also a

connotes to the genre as we know that action is taking place.

to the tension and creates the outline of a narrative. The voice over also
helps to establish the narrative in the trailer.
