Anlysis of Similar Horror Trailers

It picks out an audience of whom are within the drug culture or interested in pychedelic effects. Its target audience are also therefore of ages between 17-27, because people within this age group are most suseptible to illegal drug usage, moreover, the characters within the film represent this age group too. The main character assists the intertitles with explaining the story, increasing our perception of the plot. The film show the 'trippyness' by using clever techniques i.e. blurred visions, hallucinations? and mysterious sounds. The setting helps to add to the title as its a classic place for a horror- yet where the shrooms can be found as well! It utilizes horror through the psychedelic transformations, via making the trailer dramatic through 'dark' portrayals. The mood at the start is relatively positive due to the influence of the drugs, and the main characters insistence on a good atmosphere. However, this mood quickly changes when one of the group wanders off and become supposedly the villain (loosely similar to our trailer) and terror ensues from that point in. It is from this point that the influence of the drugs become not recreational but the source of their problems. Frome then on in they cannot decifer what is real and what is imagination, and the torment begins. This gets the audience hooked as immediately we as the potentil 'customers' are initiced in it's unknown, variable, ending. The music throughout the trailer follows conventional traditions, hallucinagenic slow sounds, and sharp eery/jumpy music when terror is unveiled.
