Analysis

The etxt used drwas in the audeicne as it allows them to make their own judgement on what coudld happen and also sets up the conventions for the horror genre, the colours and props used also allow this fact to become obviosu if already not known.

The images used such as the chains, blood weapons etc are typical horoor conventions and put forth a message of mis hap and bring to mind scene of un wanted events. (death,murder,attack etc .. )

Both sound and images are crucial in the success of a film in order to discover elements such as genre, target audience or even the narrative.

Firstly, the text used within the trailer captures the audience becuase its their biggest source of information and allows them to make their judgments on what will happen within the film. The repitition of 6 shows us the link between the sixth edition of the film and the six tasks taking plave within the movie.

The genre can be determined by both the audio and images. The dark airy hall ways convey a mysterious and unoredicatable setting. Where as the soud shows us that it is most certainly a horror - the screams and cries from the background may mean that tragedies will take place.

For audiences who have seen the other versions they will be intrigued in why there are snippets of preivious SAW films within the trailer, this will therefore prevoke thoughts and the audience will be able to predict their own outcome to what may take place.

The sound in terms of effect had been used to prevoke fear of what could happen in the film, as SAW does already have a reputation of being extremely gorry and unpredicatable in terms of the punishments that is thrusted upon the contestants.

The imagry of the chains, blood, hooks and rooting house forms and image of the horrific setting and once again allows that audience to paint a picture of what could take place and what may happen to the unlucky victims.

The images of the mini t.v screens once again reassures the audinece that someone will be watching over (the same theme if the other 5 movies)

The dark gloomey atmostphere that has been presented throughout the trailer could be considered a use of pathetic fallacy as it portrays that the events thay may occur will not be nice for anyone. The shades of black and green back up the idea of something unpleasant and horrific may occur.

Vogue - Analysis

Vogue attracts a certain audience mainly being the demographics of A, B, C1 this is because firstly of the price and secondly the content that Vogue holds is extremely expensive and high maintenance. This is not favouring everyone or their wallets.
Normally well known magazines will allow their central image to take over the masthead in order to keep all emphasis on the central image however the sharp hues of reds are very predominate which contrast with the subheadings and masthead (soft pink) So in this case it has been reversed and the masthead has been bought forward.
The central image portrays a strong, beautiful and confident woman (Julianna Moore) with the title of “The most glamorous women grown up on screen” This puts forward a message of what women should achieve in order to look immaculate within a certain style, and it also shows what looking after yourself with care and money could achieve as the other articles relate such as “Five women’s wardrobe winners” The mode of address for Juliana Moore is a medium close up, allowing the readers to see the dramatic effects put forth through her pose, facial expression, clothing and makeup, this is highly important because Vogue is a fashion magazine.
The expression at the bottom of the cover “Ageless style” interacts with the central image extremely well because we see Moore’s beauty through her face not her body. She’s covered up which once again shows the type of women that would buy the magazine. We’re able to see a part of her décolletage however not enough to consider the only reason she looks “sexy” is because of her body/assets.
The motif of the colour red connotes. The colours are elegant, graceful and stylish which once again appeals to the target audience and their life styles. The colours connect well with each other and with most gossip orientated magazines their titles, subheadings are the most important in order to captivate their readers however in the case of Vogue the most predominate object is the central image, using such a high and powerful actress allows the readers to grasp how successful the institution is as well as enabling them to see what type of people grace the covers of Vogue.
To the women who buy Vogue, price is not an issue so it would not be the magazine’s top priority to make the price label visible or to stand out (other magazines may use a pug/box out to make sure that the price is visible)
