- The montage of shots at the start of the trailer connotes a sense of normal school life, through the shots of the school itself, school buses, cheerleaders and other general school activities.
- However, the hybrid element of this trailer intervenes when the 'vampire' book is placed on the table. Previously, all shots had been high key natural lighting but this shot has low-key natural lighting which shows how there is a change in tone in the digetic world.
- The effect of layering to give a rippling effect over the shot of the vampire has the effect of conveying a supernatural theme, and also, the power of the vampire in that it has the potential to disorientate. We could use layering during post-production to perhaps show the power of being a vampire and how this feeling can be overwhelming.
