Movie trailer reprort: texas chainsaw masacre


Texas chainsaw massacre (2003)
The period of equilibrium is when they are driving along the road, and the music is soothing to go with the mood. The moment of disequilibrium is when the woman says “they’re all dead”. The period of disequilibrium is when they go into the house, right to the end of the trailer.
Codes and conventions
• They are driving somewhere so it means they’re isolated.
• Follows the final girl theory and sex=death
• A group of teenagers (drug boy, the couple, the quiet one ect)
• Curiosity kills
• Dark, scary, unknown place, nightmares, masks, and things we are afraid of.
• “Inspired by a true story”- girl being attacked- feminist point of view, made by a man for a man to watch.
• Weapons for torture; meat cleaver, chainsaw, hook
• The policeman is not evil- no one can help them
Sounds and editing
The music is at the beginning is soft, soothing to go with how the mood is supposed to be. When the moment of disequilibrium happens, the music turns fast-paced and there is a pounding sound to reflect the sound of a heartbeat and to add to the disorientation. Uses fade-to-black and dissolve during the beginning, and lots of jump cuts during the point of disequilibrium.
Iconography
The weapons like the chainsaw, the meat cleaver and the hook put with the screaming obviously mean that the girl is going to be tortured.
