This trailer has a conventional 3 part narrative. The first part establishes the setting and is foreshadowing. The girls father says 'I don't want you driving here alone this late at night'. We are also shown around the house she has to baby sit in. This lets us get a feel of how big and daunting it is. However it is not a completely conventional trailer as we are shown signs of horror straight away. There is a zoom in on the phone, which is a central part in this film, and there are flashes of a woman in black and white screaming. This clips have been edited to look like they are they are like a TV losing connection. This gives sense of isolation and tension because it gives a sense of not being able to call out for help.
At the very end theres a build up and then it quickly calms down, so you think its over. But then theres one last scream. The effect of thinking its over, makes it more of a jump scare for the viewer when she turns around and screams at the end at a figure.
