Analysis of Enter The Void teaser

The teaser trailer for approximately 45 seconds. Most of the trailer is just black with no movement of any sort. The first element of the trailer that the audience sees is the text ENTER THE VOID entering from the left hand side. The text is bold and in capitals, in the colour of a dirty yellow. This colour represents the idea of sickness or something chemical. The text reads the correct way, however it is entering from the wrong side to what we as an audience are used to reading. By doing this it creates a sense of uneasiness as this is not how we usually read text, this could also create a feeling of confusion.
After the title has entered ‘ENTER’, there is an image of a young man laying it what appears to be a toilet cubicle. The audience can register that because of where he is, there is the possibility of drugs being involved, as he appears to have overdosed. The simplicity of the trailer maintains the anticipation of what the narrative is and keeps the audience asking questions on what has happened. After the camera has panned over the image of the young man, the remainder of the title appears saying: ‘THE VOID’.
