The Eye was released in 2002, in Hong Kong and Singapore, it was then released and translated in the UK later in the year. The film was re-made in Hollywood in 2008 with Jessica Alba in the lead role.

I choose this because it creates tension using the out of focus shots, the music and the jump cuts. The music is fast paced and loud so theres a lot to take in. The film itself looks to be a physcological thriller, this idea is suggested by the woman, as she is in normal settings but seems to be haunted still. The woman doesn't speak in the trailer which therefore makes you focus on her facial reactions, this is a probable relation to title of "the eye"

Key Conventions Of Movie Trailers found in the trailer for "The Eye" (2002)

The genre of the film is made very obvious from the beginning, the camera work is fast, disorientating, slightly out of focus and at times harshly bright. These all create a feeling of distortion and confusion to the audience as they cannot tell who or what is on screen. The music keeps connoates the genre aswell, the music is very sinister, loud and eery, you know this isn't going to be a Rom-Com or Musical. The music goes high pitched, almost like a screech in points of the trailer with the most tension. There is a piercing scream from a woman which is the first and only peice of diegetic dialogue we hear and the main female character doesn't speak in the rest of the trailer. It gives her a sense of helplessness but also makes the auidence focus on the voice over and writing on screen.
We only see the directors names on screen, so we assume there are no famous actors in the film which gives it a more realistic feel.
The trailer picks out the horror parts mostly, showing deformed characters and blurred ones who we assume to be monsters. The screams, running scenes by the lead actress and the scenes in the hospital are ones that look gruesome and will interest the audience most. The voiceover is deep and speaks that the film has swept Asia, almost setting a challenge to the audience but also makes the film out to be a haunting virus which will engulf the audience.
