The ABC's of Death Trailer Analyses

The ABC's of death is a horror film and a comedy film, the opening of the scene is a point of  view shot from the view of something being dug up and four or five men hanging over during this there is ominous music playing in the background which is a non digetic then overlapping that there is the sound of a child singing which is digetic as it seems the thing the men are digging up is a child. The child singing is a stereotypical sound associated with horrors as it is meant to evoke feelings of fear and protection. it then cuts to a man hunting with a young girl, this is very thought invoking as in modern society as this may lead people into believing the man is a pedophile. The next thing in this trailer is a flash cut to an explosion and then a very futuristic robot fighting people this is very futuristic therefore suggesting that this film could be a sci-fi but as the robot is killing people the undertone of horror is still kept. the next part is a women driving dressed in black which is a stereotypical color of horror films. we then cut to animated clay person screaming then another clay person being eaten by the toilet this is the first real sign that this film has comedic elements. Then the trailer cuts to a man fist fighting a dog with lots of blood over him this shows us that it is a comedy but also a horror as there is blood all over the man, there is also a small child there which creates a comedic element. there is then many cuts of very violent and comedic deaths. There is then a flash cut of all the alphabet showing clips of the film and the deaths which follow the letters.
