Analysis: The Last House On The Left 2009

The running time for the trailer of ‘The last house on the left’ is 2:30

The genre of this film is Horror / Thriller.

The sounds used play a large part in this trailer. This is because there are a lot of sounds being used throughout the trailer i.e. a pulsing beat which seems to be speeding up to a climax and a slow song towards the end of the sequence. These both coincide in creating a lot of suspense and drama for the viewer.

Lighting, colour and setting are the main pieces of Mise en scene portrayed in this trailer, these three play a big part each, as the setting is in some woods and the low lighting and dim colours culminate in creating a sense of atmosphere for each scene.

The edits used in this trailer make a vast impact to the viewer’s thoughts of the trailer. This is because there are cut scenes at points where you are getting into the story line and that leaves the viewers wanting more.

There are small cut scenes of text towards the end of the trailer leaving the audience to think about what they just saw and creating thoughts in there mind of what's to come.

Here is the trailer i viewed for my research.

  1. Again - narrative theory?

    How does it appeal to the target audience?

    What are the horror conventions used?
