Stereotypes
Our four main characters are all teenager therefore are still seen as young and vulnerable. This is an important part of our trailer as this allows us to create the sense of danger needed around these main characters. The antagonist is a dark, tall figure which is stereotypically intimidating allowing for us to give the inference that the four teenagers are in danger.
Present
Our target audience is aged 15-25 therefore all the characters present fit into this age group. Throughout our trailer the only character shown outside of this age group is the woman who offers help to Hayley. The fact that she is an adult offers reassurance and comfort to the younger generation, however due to the fact that she is female it is not as reassuring as if a male came into play.
Absent
Adult males are absent in our film as this adds to the sense of danger for the younger generation and the audience. Due to the lack of adult males the characters have no one of real reassurance to turn to and therefore their situation and the danger of it is further emphasised.
World Created
Thrillers stereotypically create a world of danger and violence and that is what we aimed for with D.O.B. We aimed to do this through the use of a spirit which would allow for us to tap into our demographics fear of the unknown. This is effective as almost everyone is afraid of the unknown, particularly the younger generation as they are stereotypically not and knowledgeable as the older generations.
What is Valued
Relationships are the key value in our film. This is shown early on through the use of relationships between the characters and their partners are what put them all in the same location. However, the importance of building effective friendships quickly is shown as crucial when they are stranded in the barn and need to work together in order to deal with the situation.
