- The
2001 trailer the others is a psychological/supernatural horror film directed by
Alejamdro amemabar which shall make the film have a fan base before the film is
released as he is a well known director within the film industry as he has
directed other successful films within the film industry which include agora.
The film is starring Nicole Kidman and Fionnula Flanagan these two actors are
well known and successful within the film industry as Nicole Kidman has starred
in the successful film Moulin rouge. Furthermore, Fionnula Flanagan has starred
in some mother’s son. By having these well known successful actors and
directors within the film industry shall make the film appeal towards the
audience and shall make the film more successful within the film industry.
- The audience is shown a great deal of action mainly towards
the end of the trailer, using a combination of fast-motion shots and cut shots
to create a rushed, frantic tone of the characters appearing to be haunted by
ghosts. Some of these clips include the main character which is the mum which
of her running up the stairs, screaming through the banisters, the little girl
showing her mother pictures she drew of the ghosts, the maid telling the
children that she sees the ghosts too. The music used in the beginning of the
trailer is quite simple and eerie, with no powerful instruments used. This carries
on throughout the whole sequence, interrupted by several bounds of a drum any
time the trailer shows a shot that shall create suspense towards the audience
which is a convention of a horror genre film. As the music is simple it doesn't have too much of an impact within the trailer. However it relates with the
ghostly theme of the film as it’s a subtle atmosphere within the film.
Furthermore, the music being simple shall make the audience understand the
trailer and what the film is going to in tale within the narrative and
storyline which shall make the audience want to watch the film as they feel engaged
and involved within the film which shall make the film successful within the
film industry.
- The trailer doesn't include a voice-over which instead tells the story through the different shots
of the characters and what they say and do. Towards the end of the trailer,
several of the shots are played in fast movement, such as the shot of a
nursery, which symbolises the fear of the characters and how their lives have
become distorted since the ghosts have haunted their lives. Until the end,
however, the general speed of the trailer is quite paced, with the effect of
fading between each shot to signify the movement and presents of the ghosts and
the antagonists within the film.
-The information we are given about the film includes Nicole kidman the main character introducing three housekeepers to her house- and at
the same time, introducing the audience to their home life and background which
shall make the audience feel engaged and involved within the film which shall
make the audience want to watch the film which shall make the film successful
within the film industry. The audience learns how the previous housekeepers ‘vanished
into thin air’ which shall make the audience question what happened to the
victims and what’s going to happen to the victims within the house now which
creates suspense which is included within the conventions of a horror genre
film.
The trailer moves on to the family becoming more
involved with the ghosts and being victimised by their antagonist which gives
the audience a bad vibe with what’s about to happen within the film as the characters
are trying to find away to escape from the antagonists. One of the ghosts, an elderly woman is briefly
introduced which doesn't give too much away about the antagonists which shall
create suspense towards the audience which is included within the conventions
of a horror genre film within the film industry.
-The end of the trailer includes the title 'The Others' crackling onto
the screen with a voice over of the maid saying ‘sooner or later, they will
find you’, before ending with the main character which is the mum moving towards what appears to be her
daughter playing with a toy covered in a large sheet. The audience shall infer
that it’s an elderly women underneath the sheet which shall make the audience confused
and question what the antagonist has done with her daughter which interlinks
with the mum asking where her daughter is where the elderly women says ‘ are
you mad? I am your daughter’ which shall make the audience want to watch the
film as the audience shall want to know what’s happened to her daughter within
the film which shall make the film successful within the film industry.
