The trailer "Infliction" has many good elements such as the varied camera shots of the church and the graveyard. The synopsis is made clear through the captions saying "will religion be the answer" done by the captions which helps identify the story line and iconography which is centered around religion and Christianity. This links to the MES as the stetting is also links in with the iconography such as the bible and the necklace. The framing is also very smooth as the varied shots transition themselves to create a believable trailer. The sounds include narration of a quote from the bible in a low whispered tone which suggested that the voice is someone who isn't of normal perception e.g. inhuman. the preacher in the church has a low monotone pitch which is quite sinister as this builds tension with the flash of images inside.
I awarded this trailer 36 out of 40 as it able to inform the audience of the plot but advertise the film by keeping the length short and the shots varied. The trailer also creates a realistic and professional video to keep the audience interested by creating an enigma. my only criticism is that it doesn't seem to convey the codes and conventions of a horror trailer as there is no visual or verbal threat with the main character who isn't explained there just seems to be a plot where "everything falls apart" but not explained how this affects us as audience or the cast of the trailer. the audio seems t build and build but drops slowly towards the end where there is nothing out of the ordinary to frighten us which is disappointing as a story line but good footage actually recorded and editied
