The Omen is another supernatural horror genre that is based on the Devil.
The Omen is about a boy who was born on the 6th day of the 6th month of the 6th year, 666 (the number of the devil). The boy is named Damien and he is able to control objects and people with his mind.I would say that the target audience of this film would be young adults and onwards as the films is rated 18. Also the target audience would be people who regularly watch horror genre films and enjoy he supernatural theme.
There is a faint high pitch sound that is played throughout the teaser trailer which is made to sound like the wind. However, the director emphasises the sound of the swing that Damien is sitting on. When Damien looks at the camera a loud and sudden percussion and string instruments are played. During the inter-titles at the end the percussion instrument is played when the number ‘6’ is repeated to emphasise the number of the devil.
The same angle is used throughout the trailer which gives the audience a view of Damien’s surrounds which are of some woodland area. This would cause the audience to be uneasy as you wouldn’t suspect a young child to be out in that area. A pan is the only main shot type that is used to move to a better view of Damien in his red coat of the swing. This is to show that Damien is the character that is going to be doing the bad things which would make the audience’s frightened and aware that this character is only a child.
The pace of the footage is very slow to create suspense and tension. However, once the inter-titles are on screen the pace becomes quicker like the non-diagetic music.There aren’t any special effects on the teaser trailer. However, we do not know about the feature.Black background and white font which is to make the phrases stand out to the audience and easy to read. It also tells the audience when the film is being released which the director has decided to do on the 6/6/06 to make the audience aware how significant 666 is.
I would say that the only USP of this film is that it is a remake of the original ‘Omen’ which would make the previous films audience want to come and view this feature. Also I would say that the supernatural aspect of this film is another USP.
