The media language analysis of the house of wax trailer

•  this trailer is approxmatley 2 minuets long and i think that this is a good amount of time for the audience to get the feel of the movie because it doesnt give too much away but it gives the audience enough to go see it.
• there is about 70 different clips used in this trailer and i think the dirtector did this too show the tgood parts in the film in random order so the audience is confused and will want more. Each clip is changed with a transistion and most of them between each clip the sreen just goes blank but it works well becuase it changes in time with the sound track. I think this is a good method because it gives you a second sneak peak of the killer etc. Makes the viewer want more there for resulting them in seeing it.
• each clip is approxamatley a second long the longest one is 3 seconds, they probably did this to catch the audience attetion and keep them intrested.
• the logos that are included in this trailer are warner bros, from this the audience then knows that this film has potential to be good because warner brois is a well known film company.
• there is also other text that appears on the trailer which basically explains whats happening e.g. where its set "in a place not listed on any map" the graphoics they use on this text makes it look like the text is melting like wax so it relates to the the title of the film "house of wax". Also by saying "in a place not listed on any map" it shows that something bad is going to happen because there in a deserted place.
