Analysis of The Gift

This is the trailer for the new film called The Gift. The genre of this film is phycological horror. The first shot that is used in this trailer is a close up shot and it is of the red bow. This red bow is linked to the title of this film. The close up shot of the red bow is showed a couple of times throughout the trailer. An over the shoulder shot is used in the trailer when Gordo meets Robyn. Diegetic sound is the used later on in the trailer to set the mood of the film.  The bow is also a motif to the film, and it is for the audience to recognise. The non-diegetic sound is dark music which shows that something bad will happen in the film. The text that is used within the trailer is bold and big for the target audience. I think this trailer is good, however, it does drag on and some people might get confused by this trailer. There are a lot of cuts throughout this trailer which then shows a black screen. This however get the audience more engaged into the trailer.
