1. 

Saw X: 

- In the saw trailer the film title is twice in first 4 second.

- Yes in the horror film first drop the title called "Jigsaw is back" from first 2 second. That mean this trailer shows us the return of a person named "Jigsaw", if we look at the picture we can see that the words in the picture are written in all capital letters to tell us everything. The three words in the sentence are all very important. Next we can look at the word Jigsaw, it shows us a clear difference with the other two words in that it is printed in red and the other two are not, which shows that the word "Jigsaw" is the main word. is the highlight of that sentence and the trailer. The fact that it is red also symbolizes that this person named "Jigsaw" has so much blood on it that even his name cannot be washed off. This shows us that "Jigsaw" is either a person who has been stained with the blood of many people or is a serial killer. The trailer also suggests to us that the movie will have quite a lot of blood based on the name "Jigsaw". . Next is about "Is Back" it tells us the return of someone and the trailer already mentioned "Jigsaw" so the person named "Jigsaw" will return, that shows the possibility of this movie. Cao had previous parts and the person named "Jigsaw" had an illness or some problem that prevented him from appearing in the previous part, so the movie did that to show that the main character was also a representative. Saw's face has returned.

- In the second picture the trailer shows us "Saw Officials Trailer" meaning this trailer was the original trailer of Saw X. If you look closely at the picture you can see that around the picture there are straight lines like slashes created so the letter X. So the trailer not only shows us the trailer but also has iron weapons that will appear mixed with the letter The metaphorical scene both shows us that the X is made inconspicuously and also speaks to the main weapons and items that will appear in the trailer.

Talk to me:

- In talk to me trailer the title were drop twice, first in 16 second at start and the next one was in 36 second.

- At the first picture we can saw the title called "A24" that mean its told the studios of the film is "A24", But if you can look closely at this picture, you can see that the number 2 in this picture is very strange, it's like a hand cracking the knuckles to make it look like the number 2. Proving that this hand is linked to something very important to this trailer, it is highly likely that it plays a major role in the film as a hand of someone dead or this horror movie has many The number will talk about how this hand will affect the overall film

- The second picture is nothing special as it only shows that the movie was made by "Danny" and "Michael Philippou".

2.

Saw X:

- The images are prioritized in the opening sequence is “Saw is back”

Talk to me:

- In the "talk to me" trailer, it prioritizes scenes such as two people talking very closely to each other and a rather scary music.

3.

Saw X:

- The coordinates that the images carry in the opening sequence that see the comeback of Jigsaw, that can attract the old year fan looks forward to the return of Jigsaw and also they want to see the new traps and jigsaw created to torment the victims and also attract many new viewers interested in the deadly traps they first time seeing. It also shows us the curiosity that everyone wonders why Jigsaw could return and some people will not know and ask who he is and why his Saw movie is so famous.

Talk to me:

- At first glance, the two people are two very close friends and also very close friends. laughing and joking with each other, but then the trailer shows us a little black girl who wants to do something scary for the rest of her life and she shows her friend a video she just found online and wanted to do it. Then suddenly the music started for 1 second and sounds like children's started screaming like "ha ha ha" and in a quick glance at the video we can see a girl lying motionless on a chair and The people around laughed and talked happily. In the last paragraph, we almost understand what the whole movie will be about. If we look closely and analyze it, this movie will be about a group of friends, a game or family or just her and her friends. just friends but will organize a game exactly like the video that the dark-skinned girl showed us, we will also roughly guess whether the curly-haired girl will do it or the dark-skinned girl will do it. . And the trailer that brings that scene to the forefront also implies that this movie will be largely based on the video that the girl gave.

Symbolic:

- Darkness is frequently used in horror films to invoke a sense of mystery and fear. By obscuring details through dim lighting, the audience's imagination is left to conjure up terrifying possibilities.

- Isolation plays a significant role in horror films, with characters often finding themselves in isolated or confined spaces like vacant homes, forests, or small towns. This seclusion heightens feelings of helplessness and vulnerability. 

- Specific symbols and objects are employed in horror films to generate fear. Religious symbols, such as crosses, may be utilized in movies involving supernatural elements, while mundane objects like dolls or mirrors can be manipulated to provoke fear due to their association with the uncanny. 

- Sound plays a crucial role in establishing a tense atmosphere in horror films. Eerie music, sudden loud noises, or moments of silence followed by startling sounds are employed to create tension. Dissonant or high-pitched tones are particularly effective in evoking a sense of dread.

Technical codes:

- Lighting: The utilization of dimmed lighting, accentuating obscurity and disparities, concocts an enigmatic and portentous ambiance. Illumination methods like chiaroscuro (intense contrast between illumination and gloom) are widespread in horror movies.

- Camera angles and movements: Inferior perspectives gazing upwards at characters can render them imposing and menacing, whereas superior perspectives gazing downwards can make them appear vulnerable. Rapid, unsteady camera motions and abrupt zooms or pans can evoke a feeling of promptness and uneasiness.

- Editing: Swift incisions, disjointed incisions, and unforeseen alterations in scene tempo can startle the audience and foster tension. Collages of unsettling images can breed a sense of disarray.

- Effects: Advancements in technology have enabled more verisimilar and petrifying extraordinary effects, facilitating the depiction of supernatural or monstrous entities in horrifying intricacy.

- Color Scheme: Horror films frequently employ desaturated hues, particularly shades of black, white, and red, to elicit a sense of trepidation. The color red holds particular symbolism and is often associated with blood and peril.

Horror films often use specific techniques in the opening scenes to establish an enigma and raise questions, drawing viewers into the story with a sense of mystery and anticipation. For example, some can start with Ambiguous Opening Scene, the film might start with an unsettling or cryptic event that lacks context or explanation, leaving the audience questioning what they have just witnessed.

Establishing a creepy or ominous atmosphere through visuals, sound, and lighting can create a sense of unease, making viewers wonder what is causing the tension. Or for second example can be start with Imminent Danger that presenting an immediate threat or danger without fully revealing its nature can keep the audience on edge. The source of the threat might be hinted at but not fully explained.
