Trailer 5 - Jigsaw

Jigsaw


I am going to be looking at the Theatrical Trailer for 'Jigsaw' and analysing the conventions of genre.


  • Begins with fast pace of editing and someone screaming.
  • Enhanced sound effects.
  • Mise-en-scene - props such an injections, saws, and chains with are attached to the characters - indicates genre as they are torturing the characters.
  • Protagonists as well as evil characters are shown.
  • Non-diegetic sound of a child laughing.
  • Contrapuntal music.
  • Setting - a normal city (where the trailer begins), a hospital and a rooms they are trapped in.
