Research and planning- Analysis of teaser trailer one



  • Media Language- The trailer starts with non digetic sound, with reconsible music.
  • Then use a type write font / a computer like screen 'Everyday 2 billion cell phones ring' with digetic off screen sound to the sound of someone text it on a mobile phone buttons.
  • Then two women sat in a room and theres a track from the women to the cell phone, there is a close up of the mobile so you can see its ringing clearly then the characters are blurred in the background to show thats the highlight they want the audience to see.
  • Another slide with a type writer font 'Sometimes you answer the call..' the eclipse meaning , which shows they want to get a certain messege across.
  • Then theres a jump cut to the cell phone, and voice over saying 'One missed call' which reflects on the title.
  • Another jump cut to the blue screen and type write font saying 'and sometimes you should'nt' , then zooms into the font to make it stand out more this is when the trailer gets more tense.
  • Then followed on by a scream and a shot of the 2 girls on the phone, then a voice over speaks which makes the audience know thats what the character has heard over the phone.
  • The music then changes to what it sounds like a trangle which gives it a spooky effect for a short time this is played there is then a flash of the girl again fast pace editing is used to show suspence.
  • The trailer carrying on with fast past editing flashing to black screen which isnbt very clear but this is to give it a horror effect.
  • There then is flash of the girl screaming (digetic sound).
  • The words 'What will it sound like' come up which obvouisly refers to the scream we just heard. Then When you die' comes up, fast pace editing of many different shots of explosions and creatures. The music then changes to fast pace drums to give a danger outlook.
  • The screen the goes black and the typerwiter comes up 'One Missed Call' which is the title and the sound of the traingle comes back on.
  • There is then a 5 second scene of the a man and the women and you here her scream then the realse date and coming soon. This is to show intense for the audiences and make the jump.
  • Audience - The audience for this trailer i think will be 15 +
  • I think this film is aimed at both genders, but more to males as its a grusome horror, although many will watch it at the cinema in couples.
  • I think the people watching this film will be intelligent as you have to work out whats happening during the film, i also think the people will have to be quite outgoing to enjoy the thrill and suspence of the trailer.
  • I think it will be working class people and students mainly who watch this film.




  • Genre - Horror, although the title doesn't seem that scary it is a strange name and some horrors do this now.
  • As soon as it starts it play a light simple music, which makes you wonder what genre it could be.
  • It then goes on to the typewriter and you see when the words become horrorish and the music sounds more scary.
  • Thats when you can tell the genre, the editing which is fast pace and jump cuts which again shows the genre as many horrors use this.
  • Also the spooky music shows this.
