Evaluate How The Two Trailers Use The Narrative Technique Of Enigma To Encourage The Target Audience To Watch The Films
Evaluate how the two trailers use the narrative technique of enigma to encourage the target audience to watch the films.
Both of the trailers use enigmatic codes to encourage the target audience to watch the actual films, rather than just viewing the trailers including mis-en-scene and the cinematography used within the media products.
Sound has been used incredibly well within the two clips including the use of dialogue to create the enigma. Within both the Eclipse trailer and Let The Right One In, there were a lot of conversations between the characters within the trailers – conversations were unfinished within the clip, this then elicits a question from the audience who want to know what the conversations were about therefore it is a push to go and watch the actual film to find out the answers of the question. Furthermore, within Let The Right One In there was only a small amount of dialogue (those which were included were ones that were unfinished) which creates an odd and mysterious feeling to the trailer as nothing is said and the audience have no more understanding of the film than they started with. The sound mainly within the clips was non-diegetic, meaning that they were not part of the actual scene – they were added in. In both clips, the music started off slower and then built up through the clips thus creating a climax of music during the action therefore creating an enigma about what was actually happening within the clip.
The cinematography within the clips also helped to create an enigma within the trailers through editing, camera shots and angles. The editing was incredibly fast paced, including jump cuts from scene to scene showing a jigsaw of different clips which are not in a linear order therefore causing confusion and an enigma for the audience – this was mainly seen within Let The Right One In. another element of cinematography shown was the use of close up camera shots – close ups are commonly used to show emotion and reactions
