Mother-Radio Trailer Analysis

The trailer opens with a strum of violin followed closely with panicked screams and heavy breathing. This creates a sense of alarm and fear in the audience. This is reinforced when someone screams "Noooo". Then we hear silence and this creates a feeling of suspense as the audience we are wondering what will come next. We then hear a slow pace harmonious music, this contrasts with the music played before. The non-diegetic music may represent the couple who are in love and the women stating "I wanna build a paradise". This shows to the audience that the movie is based around the couple.

This is then followed by silence and then a sudden strum of violin hinting to the audience something is going to happen. We then hear a knock on the door followed by repeated strums of violin building up to a climax creating a suspenseful and dramatic atmosphere. We then hear this fast pace beat sounds as if its knocking linking back to the knock on the door. This foreshadows that something bad will happen and the man at the door is perhaps the cause. This is further reinforced when the women states "He's a stranger".

Next we hear sudden thuds and glass breaking and a beat building up. When the man states "They've come here to save me" we learn that the women is in danger and is the victim of the movie. We then hear her panicking and breathing heavily. The repetition of "Your insane" could mean that she is being tortured and hurt. She then shouts desperately leaving the audience to believe she is helpless and alone. The trailer finishes of with the same knock tying back to the knock previously, this connotes to the audience that the people at the door are the cause for the events.
