Rhythmic Moves as Frames for Generic Stages of Horror Movie Trailers

Rhythms offer cohesion in communicative and textual events that unfolds over a period in conversations, acting, film and more. In the general composition of all films the sets arrangements and shots creation and places are all spatially prepared (Leeuwen, 2005). On the other hand, dialogue, sounds and music are approved on the basic of rhythmic principles. In horror movies trailers genre human interactions are rhythmically coordinated. In addition rhythmic moves are also utilized in the organization of phrases. For instance in horror movies trailers and movies the characters as the victim’s shows up at an inaccurate time which is either a bit late or earlier. In addition, they are characterized with missing the culprit catch by walking into the dangerous case situation and this timing generates their demise (Kernan, 2004).  The major rationale behind the wrong timing is that the rhythmic timing of the editor is right.

Trailers for horror films are characterized by shortened pause with loud sounds and music which are the signposts for what is about to occur (Kernan, 2004). The rhythmic moves states with the movement of the victims which is then slowed by the occurrence of an event.  Rhythms  in this  genre plays an  essential  responsibility  by controlling  the manner in which  the story  is  narrated and offers a game of  narrative  revelation and  withholding some information  from the films  views (Kernan, 2004).  This helps in the maximization of the general involvement of events and the story’s suspension abandonment which is passive. The trailers are in a way different and also similar in regard to written texts and spoken conversations.  The spoken language  is always  fast paced  and  short which is characterized  by  quick  textual writing  since the horror genre  presents different perspectives  to view the  film (Kernan, 2004).
