Insidious: Part II
Sound/Voice Over
The trailers sound first relies on soft, slow music that makes the audience feel comfortable. Even force them into a false sense of security. Shortly after the trailers opening sequence, the clip returns to genre convention. In this trailers case: Horror. For example: the use of child like sound and ghostly echos, juxtaposed by harsh screams and high, loud pitched tones.

Music
Like the trailers other sound, the clip first relies on music with innocent conations. It then returns to genre (horror) conventions. For example: the use of child like music, that holds creepy and sinister conations.

Mise-En-Scene/Setting
Like other aspects of the trailer, the clip first uses light and mellow mise-en-scene. This has conations of purity and innocence. The clip then returns to the genre stereotype in regards to mise-en-scene. Typical horror genre colours such as: green, black and blue are used. The lighting is also darker and infrequent. In regards to props, many children's toys are used. This is because of their unintentional conations with horror. Many of the characters make up are pale and unnatural. This is to give the character a pale and unnatural look.

Editing
The main part of the trailers editing is fast and has many quick cuts. This is a horror convention. It makes the audience uneasy as they cannot see what is on screen long enough, therefore small, quick cuts allow for easy scares. Single frames are also used for similar effect.

Titles
The titles follow the typical conventions of horror. They use a san-serif font with a horror like type face. The titles are also placed upon a black or red background. This is another convention of horror. Finally, the titles are cut fast into the trailer.
Same again Sam, more depth of connotation analysis is required here.
