Review Of The Ring Trailer

The trailer goes along with narrative theory very well and supports Tim O Sullivans idea that all trailers tell the audience some kind of story, this can be shown in the trailer as the text tells the audience a little of what the story is about and telling them about the film.The diegesis of the trailer also fits the genre and location well, as it is very similar to the normal Ring trailer, and has verismilitude as everything looks realistic.Todorov'a theory of equilibrium can also support this trailer in some ways, however in the trailer the equilibrium isnt established so the audience dont know what things were like before the tape. However it can support his theory of disequilibrium ,which is the tape and people watching it and then dying 7 days later.
.Another theory that the trailer also supports is Kate Domaille:
 1.Achilles- The Fatal Flaw- this is the tape killing people 7 days after they watch it.
 2.Candide- The Indomiable Hero- the mum trying to save the son from watching the tape and figuring how to stop it from killing people
However Kate's theory (number 3- Cinderella- the dreams come true) isnt shown in the trailer, it is left as a cliff hanger for the audience to watch the film to be able to figure out for themselves whether the Mum of the son will be able to save him and others from dieing.
