The camera shots used were mostly headshots in this trailer creating a sense of fear by making you feel that you physically are there.
The use of edits plays a large part in this trailer, this coincides with the use of text due to the text being screened within transitions and cut scenes.
Sound is used throughout the trailer to create suspense and fear by having a low toned voice in the background bringing chills up your spine.
Mise en scene such as lighting, colour and setting are used strongly. Firstly lighting is low in this trailer and colours seem to be quite cold and clinical and setting adds to the sense of being clinical as though you are in a doctor’s surgery from hell.
Towards the end of the trailer there is a mix up of shots which draws the viewer in and wants them to see the rest of the film.
Here is the trailer i viewed for my research:
SAW IV 2007
Again - narrative theory?
ReplyDeleteHow does it appeal to the target audience?
What are the horror conventions used?
