Above are Examples of 'screen shots' from my own trailer, I have uploaded these images to Flickr to analyse them with notes. By clicking on the link they are visible I also uploaded images (link below) from actual horror movies that related to my own shots and had similar values and explored when we intended to do in our trailer with the conventions of the horror genre.
SOme good comments in your Flickr analysis but several issues. Firstly you mention canted angles in the analysis of your own stills, but the shots you refer to don't actually have canted angles, just low and high angles. Ask me if you're not sure about this. Secondly your selection of stills from existing trailers has stills with no analysis, just the name of the film. Thirdly I don't think that you have done horror conventions justice here. I think you could say more about some of the key conventions such as setting, lighting, characters, camerawork. Take a look at the A3 sheet and see if you can add anything more. You don't necessarily need stills to accompany every point you make. Finally you don't discuss trailer conventions at all, and you should.
