Genre:
- The Genre of this teaser trailer is a horror. This is quite clearly shown with the use of dramatic scary music, the dark camera shots, the angles, and with all the shots flashing from one to another so quick that it makes you jump.
Narrative:
- There isn't much narrative in this trailer clip, but the narrative isn't necessary as its more about watching what happens, and noticing something on a shot, rather than listening to someone explain, it creates more of a scary tension.
Audience:
- This trailer interacts with the audience more than others, as there is a clip of an audience getting scared and a question aimed at us the audience saying "In 2009 you demanded it".
- The target audience for this film is late teenagers and young adults, as its a 15, teenagers will be more interested into watching it, as they are old enough to get into the film, also not a lot of older people will find it appealing to them.
- I think mixed gendered people will watch this, I can see more boys than girls watching it, as I believe that most girls would find it too scary, but myself being a girl and a big fan of Horrors this was right up my street.
- Lifestyle and socioeconomic groups this applies to is, working class people, not your upper class.
Representation:
- In this trailer, the characters represented are a typical family in a family home, but within the trailer, a silhouette image of a "devil" like woman is over powering a baby and a dog, and also pushes a large male towards a camera.
- Within this horror, typical character roles are not portrayed as there is no damsel in distress, but a male in distress if you like as it is an overpowered woman as the main role.
Media Language:
- The mise-en-scene of this trailer is strictly filmed within one location, a house. Such a simple location where everybody and anybody could film, but takes an imaginative mind to make something so creative.
- The editing of this trailer is good, as it flicks from one shot to another, and as the film is about having video camera around the house to watch for anything scary, and the editing techniques used, are fuzzy TV clips, to hook you in more.
- The cinematography is strictly limited in this film, as its suppost to look as realistic as possible, with the cameras being placed around the house in top corners of the room, that's all the angles you can see from, but it also is like your looking down on the "devil" from heaven.
- The diegetic sound involved in this clip is the noises you can see coming off of the characters, such as when the male gets thrown towards the camera and it falls you hear the bang, also when the dog barks.
- The non-diegetic sound is the scary music and the fuzzy TV noises.
Genre:
- The Genre for this teaser trailer is Horror, you can tell this as the high pitch fast pacing music builds up tension throughout this trailer, and the flashing images of different shots within the film, shows that its a horror.
Narrative:
- The only narrative within this trailer is a scream from a typical damsel in distress at the end of the teaser trailer.
Audience:
- I think the target audience for this trailer, is 18 year old's up to early 30's, because this trailer is an 18, most teenagers aged like 14 15, will no they are too young to watch therefore might not appeal to them as much as a 15 horror, and i believe it could be for most adults up to early 30's as it a psychological film and gets you thinking, you have to watch everything to understand, so no hiding behind a pillow.
- I believe mixed gendered people will watch this film but with this film I believe A LOT more lads would prefer this type of horror than girls, as its more gory, and has a lot more blood scenes.
- Again the socioeconomic groups that would watch this, are working class, I think no upper class people would find blood and guts appealing to their nature of watching this film.
Representation:
- The characters represented in this are your typical "damsel in distress" girls, very pretty and needy looking, not a scratch on their faces, buts cuts and bruises on their bodies.
- Also the men represented in this are army and police forces, with guns, showing hierarchy, than the females and power like they aren't scared by the goings on in this film.
- Also the "bad guy" is represented in a clowns mask, with his/her face hidden this shows hierarchy of all the characters as the true identity is not revealed leaving tension and scared characters not knowing who it is or what it is!
Media Language:
- The mise-en-scene of this film, is filmed in dark drained factorys isolated from the rest of the world, leaving characters vulnerable within their locaton.
- Props used within mise-en-scene pay a big part to this film, such as the tasks and challenges each character goes through.
- Costume that the characters where show their status well, girls in low cut tops, men in their official uniforms and the "bad guy" in a one piece dark cloak, leaving his whole in depth character a secret.
- The editing of this film is done good, and has a fast pace movement with flashing shots, creating the tension of a horror.
- The Cinematography of this film, has alot of different camera angles, when filming the females the camera angles are high and looking down on them, showing they are weak, the uniformed officers have camera angles, at the same height as them not giving showing that they are being looked down at or looked up too.
- The diegetic sound in this is the girls screaming and crying puzzling where they are and what not.
- The non-diegetic sound within this teaser trailer is the high pitched fast pacing music, building tension within the trailer, and once the music reaches the highest and quickest its a sudden slow thud, making you jump at the end.
