The Room Mate

A new film called 'The Roommate' is about a college student, Sara who finds her safety jeopardized after she's assigned to a dorm room with a new roommate, Rebecca.
The trailer is eye catching, and tricking. Because it starts with happy music, stating facts about college and students in america, showing a friendship between two new people. the editing of the writing is white from the corner and then goes to blue with white writing. Blue is a connatation of a calm colour, and with the teenage beating music. But then it suddenly just completely changes.
The lighting of the second half is very dark and dim, music has changes. And they use a lot more close ups, and flash images. There is a lot more silent pauses, which is the broken by booming music or a scream from the terrified character. 
i think that the trailer does give off a lot of information, from what i watch i pretty much now the storyline. And what the characters characterics are. And the trailer is rather long, 2 mins.21 secs.
The poster that is being used is the bottom corner of a door, with a bright light shining through. I think this is supposed to show that people don't know whats going on behind closed doors. Also because it is dark and there is a bright light shining through, it is showing that it is a horror.
this will be a successful film as teenagers who will be off to uni, will find it intresting and different.
