- To make sure we were following conventions of other psychological thrillers, we watched the trailers of films we felt were similar to our products. We found that in most trailers there was an iconic image or symbol, which helped us decide to include some in our trailer. For example, in the ‘Saw’ films, the iconic image of the puppet was a reoccurring image throughout the films. Our trailer had 2 images we felt were important, which was the bat as the murder weapon, and the ring to frame the mother. We also found psychological thrillers usually included some sort of mental illness, which we had already included in our plot.
