This dialogue is not all necessarily from the section of film it is matched up to in the trailer. In the 1:00 minute clip, seven of the utterances are matched with the film clip as we visibly see the characters speaking the lines. However, in eleven of these utterances we do not see them as they are being spoken so could be from different sections of the film, included to tell the story more precisely and give more background information to the viewer without including less dramatic scenes. There are two sets of visual text on the screen, in which the background is black and the text is white. There is no voiceover running throughout the teaser trailer as the narrative is told by a succession of different shots from the film, by the dialogue of the characters. There is also two visual sets of text to add to the information given by the characters dialogue. At the end of the teaser there is one voiceover narrative telling the audience the film rating and when the film is out in cinemas. The dialogue features three different characters – the father, the exorcist and the daughter. This allows the viewer to be introduced to the main characters within this short clip.
