At the beginning of this trailer the music starts at a slow pace but the audience can tell by the beat that it will most probably get a faster pace as the trailer gets further in. It then cuts to a caption that says 'Every day 2 billion cellphones ring'. This links in with the title of the film as it is called one missed call, it also leaves the viewers/audience wanting to watch on as they will want to know why they are telling us that is the amount of 'cellphones' that ring on one day. It then cuts to close up of a phone ringing and in the background you can see a long shot of two young girls. By then adding the caption 'Sometimes you answer the call...' again leaves the viewers wanting to know where the caption will lead to next. By putting the '...' (ellipses) portrays that something is going to happen as the sentence is not yet finished. There is then a close up of an open mobile phone that says on the screen '1 missed call', this again relates back to the title of the film. With the next caption 'and sometimes you shouldn't' portrays to the audience that something bad is going to happen. There is then two close up shots of women on a phone with a non-diegetic scream over the top. It then cuts to a blank, black screen for around a second and a half, this builds tension and an atmosphere for the audience as it gives them time to think of different things that might happen. When it cuts to a close up on the dark haired woman's face we can see her facial expression and it shows that she is maybe a little bit scared and puzzled. It then cuts to a low angle shot of the blonde woman where you can sense her fear as we are now looking up at her and the phone is still in the shot, this low angle shit then cuts to a close up shot of her face, which again portrays her fear by her facial expressions. By her walking behind the pole could portray to some of the audience that she is being watched, when it then shows the pavement in which she just walked up again can portray that there might be someone following her or that she is being watched. After this there is a some fast shots of the blonde girl, the brunette girl and a distorted figure.
After this it looks as if there is a variety of other different shots done quickly, however they are all based on the same piece, they have been cut and put into slow motion. It begins to explain some of the story line by cutting quickly between shots, as it is going from shot to shot it fades out into a black screen. Throughout these shots there is a mixture of close up shots and long shots, these help to set an atmosphere as the long shots show the characters body language whereas the close up shots show the facial expressions.
When the young girl enters an abandoned house the music is playing at a slow pace but from the different angled shots that the viewers get creates an image/thought that something is going to happen, there is then a flash of a bright light and a bang and then girl starts to be dragged along the floor. Again there is a mixture of long shots, in which you can see the murderer dragging her along and close up shots of her face whilst she is screaming and crying. The idea of one of the characters being dragged off by the murderer has given me an idea for when I am creating my own film trailer, that this is one of the ways in which I will film one of my characters being taken by a mysterious figure.
There is then another caption which says 'What will it sound like' as this does not really make any sense to the viewer/audience they will want to watch on to see what they next caption will say, the next caption comes up after some fast close up shots of the woman's face and the 'murderer'. The caption says 'when you die?' This is a rhetorical question as nobody really wants to know the answer or knows what the answer actually is.
For the next 9 seconds in the trailer there is a concoction of quick shots with a fast pace music, this again creates the atmosphere of a horror film. After these quick shots the same background on which the captions appear on, the title of the film is shown. 'One Missed Call'.
All of the captions and the main title of the film have been produced in the same font and font size. The style of the font looks as if it has been typed on a mobile phone and this links in with the name of it.
