The Ring Teaser Teaser Trailer

This is the teaser trailer to the film The Ring, i have chosen to analyse this films teaser trailer as it has some similarities to the film that we want to make.

Genre: The genre for this film is a psychological horror, we have also chosen to make a pyschological horror.

Narrative: In the teaser trailer, they show what the main storyline is about telling us that if you watch the video tape that after seven days the person that watched it will die. This is strange to see in a teaser trailer as normally they don't give much of the story away, they just show what sort of thing happens and shows a few of the characters. We have decided that we aren't going to give much of the story away and to go back to more coventional teaser trailers as we believe that it will be easier to film and will look better.

Unique selling point: The unique selling point of this film is that everyone who watches can relate to it as the way in which the characters die is simply through watching a video and people watch films in everyday life.

Target Audience: The rating of the film is a 15. They aim the film at 15-24 year olds as this would be the age of the audience that would want to watch the film and this age is the main age group that goes to the cinema.

The Social Network Teaser Trailer

Genre's for Teaser Trailer

Genre: The horror of this film is horror and has similarities to quarantine as the killers are zombie type, although we are not doing a zombie horror film it is good to see if we can see shots that we like to include in our film.

Narrative: The narrative in this teaser is that people become infected and become zombie like and try to kill everyone that they see.

Unique selling point: The unque selling point in this film is one the way that they become infected and two how the people deal with the people that have symptoms of the disease which is much different to how normally they all work together to save each other.
