Research and Planning: Anaylasis of teaser trailer 2

Media language
The film saw has its own theme tune which is played throughout the clip, it builds up to create tension and fear. There is a lot of fast cutting included to make the clip seem more intense, there is also lots of pan and crab shots so the audience can see whats happening from all angles. There is also lots of close ups and long shots so we can see the shots from afar and also close up. The editing in the clip is very fast paced and jumpy to make the audience scared and therefore want to watch it more. There are lots of props and costumes used such as the machines (traps in saw) and the scary locations and costumes used. Throughout the clip there is also a voice over of jigsaw speaking.

Audience
The film saw is rated as an 18 so the teaser trailer is therefore aimed at adults, both males and females because both genders enjoy the horror genre. People who will want to watch the film will of probably of seen the previous saw films, and be interested in many more other horror films and watch them on a regular basis when watching films.

Representation
The film saw represents cereal killers and represents men as being stronger and more powerful than women because the killer is male. And the age of the killer is quite old so its ironic in showing that old people can still kill.

Narrative
The story is about a man who gets cancer and puts people who don't appreciate life in death traps that they must try to escape, many don't. The trailer shows some of the death traps and the victims and for the first time its in 3D, it also shows him the killer. It is structured with fast cutting from him to the death traps and the victims throughout. The story relates to the trailer and aspects of the plot are included in the trailer to represent the film.

Genre
The genre is horror. You can tell this because of the death traps and screaming victims and the sound of the killers voice included in the trailer. Mise en scene used in the trailer highlight this and give the genre away straight off. The cinematography used also gives the genre away because of the camera angles and special effects used.
