Aspects of critical theory that can be linked to the characters in our trailer are Propp's theory of character functions for example our trailer includes a villain, victim, helper etc these characters conform to the roles suggested by Propp. Also with regards to feminism we have created as female character who is suggested to be a murderer this goes against the conventional view of a vulnerable caring female in psychological horror films.

The key themes of our trailer are:

• Murder 
• Revenge
• Bullying
• Family
• Violence
• Mystery 
• 'Who done it?'
• Suspense

We constructed the representation of the main characters in our trailer in many ways: showing the good/bad relationships between the characters, costume, behavior and body language, mis-en-scene, dialogue etc. The representation of Harry the main male character being bullied shows him as weak and vulnerable which challenges conventions of having a strong lead male character. Also Harry's mothers character is suggested to be the villain this also challenges conventions of a psychological horror where women are seen as vulnerable or 'needing to be saved'. This character shows a female washing blood off her and and dragging a dead body, suggesting she committed the violent acts and is covering her tracks.
