Teaser Analysis - Sorority Row

We are told the name of the film at the end of the teaser trailer. This is done so the audience have to watch the whole of the trailer to get the name, this will make the audience either wants to see it or not as they have an understanding of what the film is to do with. We are not told any names of who is staring in the film it is a teaser trailer so not much is given away to the audience as it is just suppose to tease them so they are likely to go and watch it and see for themselves what it is about etc. There is no text throughout the teaser trailer as it is more visual images that get the message across to the audience. As the girl gets a bottle pushed down her throat by a mysterious person dressed all in black we know the genre of this film is a horror. All the footage in the trailer is filmed in the day, however even though the natural day light is shown it is surrounded by black darker outlines, this takes over the light and dark images symbolize smoothing bad is going to happen. We do not see any great action in the trailer as the footage is more mysterious, for example, the girl walking around the house by herself drinking, the girl puts her head back for her to be able to drink her drink and she see’s someone in black above her. This gives of a scary feeling as this person has being in her house the whole time without her knowing. The music played is slow relaxing music, more like something you would have in an advert more than a horror, however the music soon changed to a loud thump at the very end of the teaser trailer as the girl gets a bottle thrown down her throat. This will be the jump shot as the music changes suddenly. The speed stays the same throughout the teaser trailer as the girl is casually walking around her house, however the speed changes when the villain in the trailer as it speeds up, this is to build tension. The only information given about the film is the title at the end of the film; this is enough for people to research the film. This film is aimed at people in the age range of 15-24. This is the age range that most people would go and see a horror. The film is targeted at teenagers as the whole film is about teenagers going through abnormal horror events.
