Research-witchcraft

Our teaser trailer can be compared as a supernatural thriller. This is because we have incorporated elements of witchcraft and black magic. Here are images of stereotypes of witches. There are set to believe that there are two types of witches. The White witch and the Black witch. The white which is mostly known for being the good witch and the Black witch is mostly known for being the bad witch.

On the other hand even though when dealing with witchcraft some of us may now The White witch to be the good guy some films represnt them as negative characters. Such as the White witch in Narnia. She is the villian in the film. However stereotypically some film makers stick to the idea of the White Witch being the heroine such as in films as Alice in wonderland were the white witch is good.

In our teaser trailer we use elements of seduction and lust, because our protaganist character wears red shoes whihc the colour of red connotes the theme of sex, desire, betrayal and revenge. In images were witches are represented they can be seen in two different lights. First one is seen as ugly and creepy. this is well known in the animation `snow white and the seven dwafs' were the wicked queen dresses up as an old lady to persuade young snow white to eat the poisoness apple. Here the witch is benched over which gives the illusion of her having a hunched back and also her facial apperance is not very attractive as she has a mole on her face. The second way in which withces can be seen in a different light is as a attractive being. This is done so that it is able for the witch to decieve their victims mostly males. This can be suggested, that because our protaganist is attractive she is able to get her victims easier because of her beauty.

Our teaser trailer has elements of voodoo dolls. In our media project we can see that the female villian purposly cuts herself so that her blood drips onto a chain of paper men, then their is a shot of a boy tied up on a cross with blood all over him. This can be sugested that what ever she does to the paper men it will effect the male victim. The idea that the paper is so fragile and it can easly rip shows that she has a strong power over the males. This can also lead to a sexist theory at the fact that a female is dominant over a male when sterotypically in horror films the victim is always a female with blonde hair and lacks intelligance. However some can argue that yes the villian is a female but the title is satans mistress so isn't their a hidden innuendo that the devil is the one who is in control and is he a male
