Camera Work and Editing: 

The camera work in the Saw 3D horror teaser trailer is all used purposely in order to create tension and suspense to the audience. It would also help increase to a wider target audience to those who are interested in the genre of horror. There is a lot of flash cuts and fast paced editing in this teaser trailer which could make the audience feel panicky and create a lot of drama. After every shot of an image, text appears and the camera zooms into the text. The text follows on to he next text and shows a message to the audience to let them know what is happening and so that they feel intrigued to see the move. 

Sound:

The trailer uses a lot of non-diegetic sound and this is done again to create suspense and tension and build the pace of the trailer. The trailer starts of with a loud bang and this could already create fear to the audience. There is also a robot, deep voice of a man throughout the trailer which gives the main message to the audience about the film. The language he uses relates to the genre as he uses words like 'death' and 'suffering' and this is often what happens in horror films. Once the talking has stopped, non-diegetic music is added in and it is fast paced music in order to go with whats happening in that particular scene showing such as someone trying to escape from a machine. There is a lot of diegetic sound used in a very effective way too, for example people screaming and this would lead the audience being on the edge which is the purpose of horror films. The screams are form different people in the movie and are very loud which signifies that they are very afraid and this would make the audience feel their fear and share the experience.

Mise En Scene:

The use of props in the trailer are very effective towards horror films. There are many chainsaws and machines and this connotes horror films as it is a typical item that appears in some horror films. It is common for horror films to use props which relate to violence as it is represented a lot in horror films. In one part of the trailer we see someone trapped in a machine trying to escape and this would create fear to the audience as they would want to know if he has escaped or not. There is a use of de-saturated colour palette used throughout using dull colours which connotes horror films. The us of low key lighting represents danger.
