Theory's that we have used to help create our film trailer

Hypodermic Syringe model: The model suggests that a media text has an instant effect on someone. For example- Someone watches a chocolate bar advert and wants a chocolate bar. This is like our film because our main prop is a Ouija board - if people enjoy the film they may want to try a Ouija board or they could be scared by the film therefore making them wary of Ouija boards.

Feminist theory: To choose our cast we will be looking at the feminist theory, we will be working partly with and partly against this theory. Budd Boetticher summarises the view: "What counts is what the heroine provokes, or rather what she represents. She is the one, or rather the love or fear she inspires in the hero, or else the concern he feels for her, who makes him act the way he does. In herself the woman has not the slightest importance." Here is where our trailer breaks the theory because in fact our trailer has no male role parts in it for our female characters to be second to. However we would like our trailer to run with st least part of the feminist theory. This is Laura Mulveys section.

Laura Mulvey: Laura Mulvey states " In their traditional exhibitionist role women are simultaneously looked at and displayed with their appearance coded for strong visual impact" - Our trailer mirrors this theory as we have picked conventionally good looking girls to be in our trailer as we feel it will appeal to more.
