The trailer of 'The Girl on the Train' uses formalistic conventions such as the use of intertitles throughout the trailer, such as 'at 4.36pm', 'a women has disappeared'. This makes the audience more intrigued with what is yet to come. The backgrounds of the text in white and then once the trailer picks up pace and becomes more dark and the background changes from white to black. There are also intertitles such as 'from Universal and Dreamworks'.
The trailer starts off slowly with quiet music, but as the trailer goes on the editing becomes more fast paced and the music begins to get louder. The music could foreshadow what is yet to come in the film as it keeps repeating 'How could you be so heartless'. At the end of the fast paced montage their is a climax which then cuts to a black screen. Also, the music stops and becomes silent when the blonde woman is under the bridge, this causes suspense in the trailer.
The trailer ends on a cliffhanger, which then would make people eager to watch the film as the trailer has made the audience interested in the storyline. The weather is dull and grey, and the trailer as a whole is really gloomy which gives the trailer a dark feel about it as it doesn't make you feel very happy. This could foreshadow what is yet to come because of the setting and overall atmosphere.
