Texas Chainsaw

In the video above you will see the trailer for Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You can watch this film in 3D and was released in January 2012. It is a remake of the film that was made in 1974. 

Setting: There are many settings in this film but the main setting of this film is in a family house but there are also scenes at graveyard, house basement and in a derelict building. All these settings where good places to set the tone needed for this horror film as it is a common area where you would expect to see a horror occur and all these places you associate with death/horror.  

Props: The main character is called leather face so he is wearing a leather mask throughout the whole movie and carries around a chainsaw. There is a use of a coffin in the graveyard scene, pool table and a camper van which makes an appearance during the movie.

Facial expression: Throughout the movie there is different emotions it goes from happy because a young women has come to collect her inheritance which was the house where the main film was set so emotions would of been on a high. Astounded, happy and grateful that she has just gained a new house but further on into the story there is a sense of fear, alarming, anxiety, panic and confusion as to why there is someone try to kill her and her friends.

Body Language/Movement: The body language at the start of this trailer was very fun and easy going as it was exciting with nothing expected to happen. As they was just enjoying their time in a new house/place they had nothing to worry about. Later on through the trailer you see the change in atmosphere, body language and movement as the music becomes more frantic and pace becomes much more quicker. 

Lighting and Colour: The colour/mood darkens as it was sunny at the start of the trailer and has become dark and gloomy by the time it gets to the end which shows there is nothing enjoyable/ exciting about to happen.
