One missed call

The trailer starts off by showing the companies that endorse and create the film, the music played over the trailer is eerie and creepy. Then on the screen pops the text ‘Everyday 2 billion cellphones ring’ This automatically makes the trailer creepy as it is a topic the viewers will relate to and understand which in the long run will then allow the audience them to put themselves in the situations the cast find themselves in the film.

Then the theme music of the film which is also the phones ring tone starts to play over

the top. You then see a shot of a woman looking worried, it then zooms into the phone and then puts focus on the phone by blurring

out the two girls in the background.

The music carries on playing but an underlying tune starts to play creating an eerier affect. Then the text ‘Sometimes

you answer the call…’ pops up and then a shot of her phone and the speech ‘You

have one new message’ is spoken over the top and then the text’ and sometimes you shouldn’t’ both the

text and the speech place the question in your head, answering your phone is an everyday occurrence so you start to question why they shouldn’t

answer the phone.

There is a quick change to a close up of the women answering the phone and hearing a scream and then a quick close up on

another women on the phone. The women then goes onto speak, there is then a low angled shot on the women making her seem inferior, the phone is also in the shot to draw the attention to the

importance of the phone.

More text is then shown on the screen and the shots of the women who is danger walking, the music then changes to

almost child like music, the music creates tension. The shot is almost like a point of view shot but not from a particular character, the speech of the girl is her saying she feels like

shes being followed and the shot also indicates this.

She then says ‘I keep seeing things’, it jumps to a shot of a scary character but the shot is quickly removed by a

passing bus, this is the first scary shot we see in the trailer which may indicate the direction the trailer is going in, it

will be a horror film.

The shots quickly change to fast snappy shots where the women falls off the bridge, the shots of the other women then go black and white and

flash instead of full length shots, these shots separate them from the rest of the trailer and

create a feel of fear.

The attention then goes back to the phone calls, she goes on to explain about the phone calls to other people, shots of her explaining are shown and then the ring tone music starts again, the shots are slow and fluid until the shot of the little girl, this shot is sharp and fast and there is also a

thud over the music to attract your attention.

It then goes onto lots of fluent shots of the women explaining the situation to numerous people who then go on to die. The woman then goes onto take out the battery

of a phone and says ‘If any dead people call, were not home’ this is the first indication that they understand the situation and are trying to take control. There is a shot of the phone laid on the settee with the two girls blurred in the background, again putting importance on the phones.

The ring tone music then starts to play, which is an indication something is wrong and someone is going to

die. Although the battery is out the phone still rings which triggers the girls to be worried, you then see

numerous shots of her trying to get help, but throughout these shots you see another scary women. The music

changes on this shot and becomes eerier rather than the ring tone music.

Shots then go on to be fluent as she is trying to work out the mystery, the music is fluent until scarier

shots are met by a bang added to the music, it makes you jump and draws your attention to that shot. The

shots are faded in with black shots joining them. The shot of her outside the hospital shows the scale

of what she is dealing with, she is very small in comparison but it is filmed by a slight low angled

shot which shows her power and determination to figure it out.

The shots become very dark and a lot slower. Until a loud bang in the music is joint by her being dragged away, this is the first sign of danger since entering the building. The

music speeds up and becomes more intense.

The text then comes up ‘What will it sound like’ ‘When you die?’ this poses a question and it is relevant to the film as it is what the film is really about. The shots

then become fast and dangerous, showing you the real danger in the movie and how it will turn out, some of the shots contain footage shown throughout the trailer, such as the little girl and the phone. These shots are quick snippets of what happen in the film

accompanied by fast, speedy music.

The text ‘One missed call’ comes up, which is the first time we see the name of the film. It is followed by a final shot

of them investigating the building, the final shot is the man being dragged away, it poses a question as who dragged him away, it is a fast rapid image, with music to set the

pace of the last shot, there is a loud bang as he gets dragged away.
