Research and planning- Trailer analysis two

Genre:
The genre of this trailer is horror. I can tell this because of the fast paced montage used to create tension and the recognisable styles that draws an existing audience as Andrew Sarris said, all the blood faces of people at the end of the trailer, the house that looks creepy and the voiceover and titles giving us information of what goes on. This genre is a repetition with an underlying pattern of variations which was said by Steve Neale, it has some similarities and also differences from the first trailer that I did which was 'Silent Hill'. Christine is the main character and she is the one who gets terrorised right till the end. The main media language used on this trailer is sound, there is a voice over of hers throughout the trailer and dialogue by other people and sometimes hers too. Theres quite a lot of editing like fade in  and fade out, wipes and straight cuts. The shots are clear to see like the close ups, wide shots, mid shots that are used in the trailer to make it realistic and eye catching to see for the audiences.

Representation:
Just like 'Silent Hill' we see a women saving every body on this trailer who is Christine Taylor, shes almost like a hero as Propp says and its a protagonist as she is the main character. The representation here is about women being represented as being stronger than men and they save lives. However, we mostly see men doing all the saving instead of women, men are to be the strongest and meant to be the heros. Police officers are meant to be trusted and so are the doctors and operation people, but here it is represented that the police and the surgery people cant be trusted, here they are stereotyping that public services cant be trusted.
Narrative:
The story starts of with an accident were the man that she is with, gets taken to hospital, were he gets terrorised by the surgery people but Christine goes to save him, but she also gets put there as we see her at the beginning were she is being pushed by the nurses and shes getting a surgery done when she is wide awake. There's not many binary opposites here like Levi Strauss and Roland Barthes theory but we see some light and mostly dark to create intimidation of the audience, we see the weather as dark, rainy and cold to identify the suspence being created to make it realistic and dramatic.

Audience:
The target audience for this is young adults as you mostly see young adults in the film trailer therefore its suitable for teenagers. I can tell this because of the age that these characters are also to be able to see the film you dont need to be female or male anyone can come and see. They must have an interest in seeing the horror film, they will have an educational background as a doctor or nurse or even a police officer, they can watch it too. By watching the film the target audience can get different meanings from the text which is called the reception theory.

Media language:
There are so many media languages used here from the cinematography, editing, sound and mise-en-scene to make the film trailer attractive and eye catching to watch also to make it realistic and dramtic for the target audience.

Cinematography:
The shots that we see on the film trailer are closeups, Birds eye view of the surgery room where she is lying down, worms eye view were Christine is looking up at the nurse who is about to do surgery on her, wide shot of the two cars crashing into each other and theres always mid shots and over the shoulder shots to show the feeling of the  people.

Editing:
The editing of this trailer is fast which is a montage as Kuleshov method explains it as and there are alot of other editing like straight cuts, fades when she is getting moved to her surgery room and also there is voice over of hers. There are alot of jump cuts that take us to different part of the film trailer creating shock. and lastly theres a wipe when she sees the intimidating face of the police officer looking at her.

Sound:
The sound used in this film trailer is really intimidating as it uses this sound that follows what she does, its fast when there in danger and when its not then theres slow tension music to create suspence. The trailer is interesting because of the voice over of her teeling us what is happening to her and the title to give us a clear understanding of what is happening.

Mise-en-scene:
The trailer shows the police officers and the surgery people dressed in the right uniform. However, we dont see the ambulance man dressed in his uniform instead he wears casual clothing which is different because we now get people with uniform to show that they are part of public service groups.
The facial expressions give us an idea of how the people are feeling, the shock from Christines face, the attitude from the police women and the nurse who gets ready for the surgery on Christine. the trailer only shows low key lighting to play on the audiences fear and to intimidate them as this is what a horror genre intends to do.
