Trailer Analysis:
The trailer of ‘Don’t Breathe’ there are many close up shots. The trailer opens with the introduction of the creator of the film; from the creators of the evil dead. Straight after a close up shot is used when the girl and the boy are made blind by the blind man and they are unable to see anything. This creates a jump factor in the audience and creates suspense for them to get eager to find out what is going to happen.  The story follows after to show what happened that brought the girl and her friends in that place. The trailer conforms to the theory of Todorov as everything is fine in the beginning and there is nothing wrong however, the equilibrium is disrupted by them getting trapped in the house by the blind man.
The film is produced by the makers of the evil dead and is directed by Fede Alvarez. It is a Hollywood film and the production company used the medium of social media and TV to promote the film trailer. It was broadcasted on TV during adverts and it is also available on YouTube when you play a video. The film was distributed in to multiplexes as it was produced by a well-known production company. The film trailer would be scheduled to be view in the watershed timing as it is over 15 content and might be disturbing for some kids to watch.

The genre of the film is hybrid: it is horror and the sub-genre is thriller as it is a story of three friends getting trapped in a house of a blind man and they are unaware of his strength. It is not completely horror because it includes thriller aspects and there are no ghosts or spiritual reference in the trailer. The blind man is shown in more power this suggests that even though he is blind he is more powerful. This is because the people who are blind they make their other senses stronger. The gender representation is typical to what we would expect to see. The blind man is more powerful as he is a male and the female is shown in stress and is unable to protect herself.
