Firstly, the font creates a creepy thrill top the opening title and sets it up perfectly for the film. The distorted letters which kept flashing throughout made it feel slightly odd and fluky and made me feel unfamiliar which was probably what the director wanted, also as it's hand written is more creepy. Overall it is making you feel unknown from the beginning, and prepares you to be aware for what is going to come and makes you feel more unease.
The camera angles and framing was rather jagged throughout, jittery and unfocused. Each scene doesn't last long either, which makes you question what is actually going on and what you missed. Sometimes there also a slight double exposure and over lapping of scenes which makes it feel more unclear. Also the colour of the trailer is all grey and black and its really dull, the use of the shadows makes it feel more secluded and obscure.
The music in the background is a spliced sample of an uncredited remix of the Nine inch Nails song "Change", available as "Closer (Precursor)", remixed by Coil, on the "Closer" single. The music makes it feel much more alive and the bass in the background emphasises the opening and makes it feel more haunted as its like an unknown sound trying to break through.
Here is the trailer, so you can have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4YV2_TcCoE
