The trailer for the purge uses a montage of shots of various scenes from the film to create a chaotic nature such as in horror films, however at the start of the trailer we are unsure what genre the film is, due to shots referecing normal life and the calming music. 
This music is later juxtaposed with shots of violence, creating a eerie horrific feel to the trailer and making the plot seem more terrifying.
This music is later juxtaposed with shots of violence, creating a eerie horrific feel to the trailer and making the plot seem more terrifying.A wide variety of shots are used in The trailer including point of view shots from specific characters to create a more personal feel. The The colour palette is primarily dark colours reflecting the thriller nature of the film.
The use of mise en scène it's predominantly shown in the trailer through the use of character and masks which create an ambiguous feel to the threatening characters. Sound bridges are also used such as gunshots and alarm sounds.
In the lead up to the event continuous fade to Black and fade from black effects are used to reflect the countdown till the purges commencement.
Dialogue is kept to minimum at up until 1 1/2 minutes through the trailer when the plot is explained by the threatening characters. This keeps the viewer questioning the meaning and storyline of the film. Sci-fi like sounds are used later in the trailer this connotes the fact that the purge is supposedly set in the future or a parallel world. At the end of the film key sound is used again playing and edited version of the American anthem which creates a horrific feel.Lighting is used predominantly throughout the trailer with a high contrast between the light and dark this creates a feeling of the unknown in the dark and concentrates the audience eyesight to the characters of interest shown in light.
