Saw - Trailer

The Saw Trailer clearly indicates its genre. From all settings being black to narrative screen titles saying 'madman' at 1.04. Also at 1.15 it says psychopath'. There is a scene which has been sped up and a character grabs the camera which is a frightening scene on its own to add into a trailer which clearly shows the genre. There are a lot of indications of violence within the film as there are multiply scenes where someone is holding a sharp harmful object like a knife, glass or a saw. The production value it relies on is the creators of the movie as there aren't particularly big actors or neither do there look to be brilliant affects. The company is lion gate which is a well-known company for horror movies. The iconography of the movie is the darkness throughout the trailer it is constantly dark apart from the moment they're in a dirty abandoned bathroom which they are tied up in. The theme binary oppositions is used with a clown which are usually for child’s entertainment, whereas in this movie it is used as a sort of message to the victims. Towards the end it says the name of the movie clearly stated too. The target will be interested in the reason the characters are chain up, why they're being watched and whether the Doctor kills the boy called Adam like the random voice telling is him to.
