Teaser Trailers
The The Saw Trailer clearly indicates its genre. From all settings being black to narrative screen titles saying 'madman' at 1.04. Also at 1.15 it says psychopath'. There is a scene which has been sped up and a character grabs the camera which is a frightening scene on its own to add into a trailer which clearly shows the genre. There are a lot of indications of violence within the film as there are multiply scenes where someone is holding a sharp harmful object like a knife, glass or a saw. The production value it relies on is the creators of the movie as there aren't particularly big actors or neither do there look to be brilliant affects. The company is lion gate which is a well-known company for horror movies. The iconography of the movie is the darkness throughout the trailer it is constantly dark apart from the moment they're in a dirty abandoned bathroom which they are tied up in. The theme binary oppositions is used with a clown which are usually for child’s entertainment, whereas in this movie it is used as a sort of message to the victims. Towards the end it says the name of the movie clearly stated too. The target will be interested in the reason the characters are chain up, why they're being watched and whether the Doctor kills the boy called Adam like the random voice telling is him to.
Eden Lake is a British horror film made in 2008. This particular trailer shows us many signs that indicate the film are a horror. For example, at 1.11 Steve ( The boyfriend ) is shown chained up with barbed wire in distress, and Brett ( The leader of the gang ) says " Now we've got to finish this" which is also going to interest the target audience as the question within the audiences mind would now be "finish what?" and the audience would like this to be solved. When the shot changes a red flash is used which connotes blood and fear. The start of the trailer shows the couple going for a swim in a lake; this shows us that these two were originally going for a romantic getaway and where it will be set. This particular film doesn’t have big film star actors, so they are not mentioned within the trailer. Also the film doesn’t show off extreme special effects, this indicates the budget isn’t very high. Their production value of these could be the reviews it's claim to have had from the 'empire' which claim that it is 'one of the most provocative and terrifying thrillers of the year'. This also shows that it is not a teaser trailer and it has already been released. Setting seems to be in a forest which shows us that they will be in the middle of nowhere or more importantly out of the way of any possible help. There are some familiar faces which are in the movie which could be a production value however they are not mentioned so these characters would have to be specially recognised. The name of the film is clearly shown towards the end of the clip which is making the audience who are watching wait until the end of the clip to see the name.
Scream 4 is a horror movie made in 2011. This horror movie is obvious to Ashley and I as at 1.17 the narrative comes up, as there is no voice over, using the word 'terror'. The name of the film comes to us at the end of the clip which makes us want to watch the trailer more as we would like to know the name of the film which is Scream 4 spelt 'scre4m'. The production value of the movie begins off at 24 seconds in when it says the 'legendary director' Wes Craven, this director is well known for his previous three famous scream horror movies. Another indication of the genre of horror is the last quote of the movie when a girl says "you, are about to die." this is a clear indication of horror. There is music which slowly builds up increases anticipation and builds up emphasis and then finally goes down again. This builds up the intensity which then makes the viewer want a sense of relief which usually only comes after watching the movie. The sentence "2011 terror gets a reboot" is divided up into scenes with bits of dialogue in-between each part of the sentence, which also builds up the intensity by certain characters saying "i know how the story ends." or "he found me." is doesn't give away anything of what they mean which would make the audience want more.
