The Paper Boy is set in a school, as in the beginning of the trailer there are kids in their uniform walking in a school, showing the scenery behind them. There is a scene when a group of boys are bullying another child. This scene is in black and white, which represents a flashback and creates suspense, as the audience will be wondering what happened. The music is non-diegetic, which adds to the suspense of what will happen.When the group of boys are bullying the boy, a long shot it used to show what they actually do to the boy and show the facial expressions of the other people in the shot.
The lighting used was low-key lighting, which contrasted well with what the issue was, bullying was obviously the issue and the audience can easily tell. During the trailer, it says 'the past will haunt you', and a paper boy is shown outside a car window, this tells the audience that there is something mysterious about the boy and he may be seeking revenge.
Inner Redemption
At first, due to the music and the acting you think that its a romance, but during the trailer it changes to a horror. This a hybrid, which makes the audience wonder what will happen next. The girl and boy act as if they are going to have a relationship but when she comes to the door with blood on her hands, the audience can tell that's when the genre has changed. The music changed when the genre changed as well, which added to the effect it had to the audience. A nursery rhyme comes on, which confuses the audience, but also makes them wonder what will happen next.
A scene which added to the horror genre was at the end when the girl was turning her neck and you could a 'click click' sound every time she titled her head. This created suspense as the audience will get scared, and wonder what will happen to the girl. The props used in this scene added to create the tense atmosphere for the audience..
