'The Last Exorcism' Trailer Analsis

This is the link to the trailer of The Last Exorcism, this movie comes under the "horror" genre, the convections of a horror movie are...

• Low key lighting
• Mood music
• Scary location

I think the technical codes of this trailer is the music as well as the scene selections from the movie, music is vital in trailers because it creates a mood, as this is a horror movie, the music in the background sounds very mellow, however the music and the scene selections from the movie work very well together and have been structred really well.


The trailer portays the horror in the movie, the fact that a young teenage girl has an evil spirit inside her gives a sence of vulnerabiltiy, also there are many scenes in the trailer were the clip has been cut short, this makes it almost a cliffhanger therefore its pulling an audience in making them want to go and watch it.


I personally think that the target audience for this movie are teenagers this is because i think it would be more popular with a group of teenagers rather then a family or a group of adults.
