These are some notes on the features and conventions used in the 1408 trailer:
Music - There is a voice-over used over the trailer to narrate the audience and give them vital information to whats going on, this is typical in many trailers. Also used is a 'woosh' sound effect during the cuts.
Intertitles - The trailer uses titles such as "Based on a true story" and the actors names. These can be used for general information like actors, directors and institutional information but also to create an sense of verisimilitude for the audience.
Editing - The editing starts off fairly slow but become faster paced towards the end, this is typical of many trailers and especially in thrillers or horrors, the editing also keeps up with the soundtrack and inter titles towards the end of the trailer.
Transitions - The trailer included a majority of fade to blacks and normal basic cuts, the fades are used to create tension for the audience.
Narrative/order - There is a multi stranded narrative within the trailer and it is in chronological order which is unusual for trailers as it can sometimes give too much of the plot away.
