I chose this trailer because it is filmed in the London Underground, a place which i can identify myself with.
I can also see myself being in similar situation as the main character,creating the trailer to be more realistic.
In the "Creep" horror film trailer, certain stereotypical connventions are used to highlight the film as being of the horror genre, this therefore attracts their target audience. The tailer has been openned instantly with a dramatic breathing soundmix and unsteady handheld camera work, which allready signifies to the audience someone is scared worked up. We are put in the characters eyes in a point of view shot, struggling towards the escalator. This signifies that this is a horror film as she is struggling by herself, possibly limping, in a isolated place ( stereotypical setting of a horror film).
The music in the trailer is a huge give away as to the film genre by bulding up crescendo's leaving us wanting more. Bursts of sounds have been use such as screams and heartbeats in which are shyncronised with the gradually getting faster pace of the shots, building tension and suspence.

Do you think this film uses fears that women often experience in our culture?

I do feel that women are more paranoid than men, therefore gain fear from their imaginations. This relates to the film by women watching them knowing that they could be in a similar situation and, 'miss the last train' therefore being more vunerable and frightened.
