Analysis - Mirrors (trailer)

In the start of the trailer we see a happy idealistic family in a middle class neighborhood all sitting together in a bright warm and sun lit room. This is the idyllic calm that will soon be disrupted as the equilibrium is disrupted. The audience then see the, assumed father(Keifer Sutherland), walking with another man to a abandon and extremely creepy looking old mansion. This creepy location is a staple of the genre, it is used in a huge number of films to create a eerie  atmosphere of unease and discontent. The man guiding the the main character around says that the previous janitor was abscessed with these mirrors and cleaned them constantly. The film company logos are flipped as if they were in a mirror, this makes the audience fully immersed in the world of the film from the start. We see the main character patrolling around the building when a reflection in a mirror turns around behind him; this reflection is not focused on and is only see blurry in the background. The music over the top is slow and dark creating a unease among the audience then it is broken suddenly by a scream in the distance. We then see a series of clips showing creepy broken statues and a mirror with hand print; as a man  touches the hand he screams and falls of screen. Then a man is screaming and crying at his reflection when a mirror shard fall to the ground and we see the man looking horrified at the shard and then wee him fall screaming as a reflection stand and watches him fall. This is the first time we clearly see one of the reflections separate from the person and we see the reflection stab itself with a shard of glass and the screen flashes red suggesting that the reflection killed itself/the person. This now mean when ever a mirror is show the audience will expect a evil killing to occur. A creepy child in an old and stained nightgown is show screaming with her head phasing left  and right and contorting at unnatural speeds, this implies the supernatural/possession aspect of the film and is a staple of the genre. We see the child of the main character looking in a mirror and as the child moves the reflection stays and stare directly at the mother, this is a expanding of the chaos and evil that the father has previously experienced as it has now engulfed the family and spread away from the original house. This implies that no were is safe from the evil that is in the reflections.
Then the reflections begin to torment the original in a horrifying montage of classic horror style suspense, pain, suffering and general bad things. Again we see the reflections moving around freely in various shinny things and absorbing people into the mirrors; this is the most movement that the reflections have done up to this point suggesting that they are getting worse and more active, this is the culmination the disruption were all the fears have peaked and is the most intense part of the trailer with the most fast cuts and high adrenaline music. Then we hear that the main character is going to resolve the odd issues surrounding the mirrors and resolve the equilibrium; ALL the mirrors in a room filled exclusively with mirrors suddenly explodes. This explosion is signifying the destruction of the source of the reflection (even though they move from one shinny thing to another) and therefore stop the infestation of evil thingy s. As the exploding glass fly's outward it fades into a fractured title "Mirrors" with a reflection of the word reversed underneath (as if in a mirror) continuing the theme of the film and giving it a more unique title.
