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.
