Audition
We know that audition is a thriller merely by the use of camera, editing and Mise en Scene with no sound needed. The lighting is dark and scenes are shadowed throughout, demonstrating there are mysteries and secrets to be discovered in the film. In some sections, bright light is presented symbolizing a false act the main character is playing to cover up truth. A red tint is also used throughout much of the trailer, representing danger, blood and the passion of the film's theme.
The beginning of the trailer begins in an intimate room, making it even more disturbing as its an everyday setting for the audience. The smallness of the room, makes the audience feel as if they're involved in the scene. In this section Shigeharu the main character is in the foreground in darkness, with the image of someone in a sack in the background under a spotlight, presenting the idea that there is something going on; we see she's dangerous and controlling. ironically dresses like an innocent young girl, contradictory to the distressing content of the film in which she's a murderess.
Quick editing shots, make the trailer run quickly causing a rise in tension and exhilaration to rise, leaving the audience in apprehension.
