Starting with the biological and psychological roots of fear and their representation in movies, design characteristics and stylistic elements are analyzed and put into practice by means of a complementary work piece. The second part of this thesis is dedicated to the documentation of the work piece: a trailer for the fictitious film Earth Attacks. In this film the key design characteristics of danger are utilized and form a significant element of the plot, which is then examined and scrutinized.
