Camera Shots:
Extreme Close Up: The use of the extreme close up of the characters eyes allows the audience to see the fear by the darting around of their eyes. It creates an intimate moment of tension where the audience sympathises for the characters as they feel very close to the action.
Long shot: Long shot establishes the characters in the environment and allows for
Establishing shot: The establishing shows the characters in a specific location allowing more understanding of the environment which the action is taking place in. A split second shot of a house in this trailer, fills in a whole lot of information for the audience and as its a trailer its important to squeeze as much information in to make the plot make sense but at the same time laving the audience wanting more.
Ariel shot: This makes the audience feel as they are fly on the wall as the chaos unfolds below them. It allows for this dynamic shot to display the action from a different angle.
Editing:
CGI: The use of CGI in the montage allows for a more psychedelic and twisted insight into the 'mind' of Norman Bates. It immediately tells the audience that his brain functions in a different way to a normal person.
Fast pace cuts: The fast pace cuts again reflect the jumpy and scatty mind of the killer, but the jumpiness also helps to convey tension and confusion with in the trailer to stick to the conventional thriller trailer.
Montage: The montage of different images with norman's face flashing up in-between once again shows a reflection of his murderous thoughts, his inability to function propeller and his instability.
Cutaway: The cut away cuts away from the present action and allows again for a more disorientated viewing for the audience, reflective once again of the unstable mid of the killer.
Action Match: The action match allows shots to fall into each other and this adds to the confusion that is Norman's mind. Its a clever way of the shots fitting together to mimic time passing or fading into a new scene in a trailer where time is limited.

Mise-en-scene:
Location: December 4th; Set in Phoenix, Arizona, then moves to the main location of the 'Bates Motel' in Fairvale California.
Set Design: The set is a very large old house, known as the 'Bates Motel'. It's a rural setting off the nearby interstate highway.
Costume: The costumes are fairly stereotypical. They are all white, males and females, dressed fairly casual.
Lighting: The lighting when filming establishing shots outside the hotel is using natural lighting (the appearance of sunlight). When Norman is seen spying on Marion he is very dimly lit therefore convey a very sketchy image of Norman Bates.
Sound:
Foley: The use of foley is very important in a thriller as sound is a key factor when creating a tense/jumpy environment for the audience to be watching.
Soundbridge: Another way of creating a sense of narration in a trailer weather than a voice over is the use of a sound bridge as it allows a characters voice to be carried over the top of multiple shots. It's an quick and easy way of introducing dialogue into the trailer.
Voiceover: The voice over at the beginning over the face of norman, delivers a sinister feeling as the distressed voice of his mother talks about Norman in the voice over while the screen shows shots of a smiling Norman sitting in prison. The voice over at the beginning of the trailer adds a sense of foreshadowing of normans behaviour and an eery beginning to the trailer.
Ambient Sound: Ambient sound sets the tone and environment of the scene very well in thrillers, sounds can be used such as 'creeks', 'scratches' and 'slamming' of doors all to create a tense atmosphere without the use of dialogue.

Lila screams as a figure comes running into the cellar: Norman, holding a chef knife and wearing his mother's clothes and a wig. He tries to attack Lila but is subdued by Sam.
