Dumb and Dumber

The dumb and dumber trailer has lots of elements that make it funny and a comedy. Some of them are the bright colors and bright-lite scenes, upbeat music and constant sound/laughter. The way that they change it to be a horror trailer is first they made it black and white. The absence of color is just dark and cold and make its more suspensful and horror-like. Then, they had to slow down what they were saying and pause on certain words and phrases so it sounded as if they were being creepy and murder-like. They also would pause the sound and put loud thumping noises that are meant to create fear and suspense. I think they were sucessful in making it a horror trailer. Ways they could have changed the genre even more would be to change different elements. To create a romance they would have to add in romantic music or love songs and just give scenes where Jim Carreys expressing his love for the girl. They would also want to keep it in color and keep the slow scenes to make it seem like they are in love. If they were doing an action trailer they would want to keep the scenes as fast pace as they could and maybe even speed them up from the original. They would add in action music and upbeat intense sounds so that its quick and the scenes are constantly changing.
