The Saw 1 Trailer

I chose this Horror trailer because it shows off the best bits of the film without giving away to much of the story. Its very tense, particularly at the beginning and the end when the 'heart beat' like sound comes in. It has some scary parts to it and has some quite important and surreal quotes from the film.

The Saw 1 trailer seems to follow some of the movie trailer conventions. It definately indicates the genre of the movie and it has the name of the movie t the end, this is relitively small and insignificant because its right and the end of the trailer and doesn't really catch your eye at all. However it does not have any producton values including stars or the name of direcor. It also has inter-titles throughout which gives a better sense of the genre and the story behind it. The voice over or dialogue in the trailer is that of the charcters in the film and are quotes from the characters themselves in the film. The music in the trailer is slow and has crescendo towards the end. This helps to build up tension throughout which also adds to the genre of the trailer.
