In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
I chose to do this evaluation on flickr, because it allowed me to create a montage of images from my trailer and other existing horror trailers, and make a 'note' on each comparison that allowed me to compare the stills and answer the question.

Are you saying that fire is part of the conventional iconography of horror? In your second frames where you discuss settings you need to explore the idea that settings are used to indicate a return of the past or a return of something repressed, or an emergence of the primitive (forest=primeval forces). YOur intertitle uses second person "you" to interpellate the audience - worth mentioning. In your discussion of extreme close-ups you could broaden the sound to explore expressive, nonnaturalistic camerawork in general. Overall what you've written is good but I do think it could demonstrate your intelligence about the genre more fully.
