Purpose: This video serves the purpose of entertaining the audience through retrospectively dissecting the 2007 film The Mist in an informative manner. Youtube film enthusiasts Mike and Jay discuss the plot elements of the film, the background on the film's inception and development, and the various techniques and stylistic choices the director Frank Darabont made to portray his vision of Stephen King's novel of the same name, all layered with insightful commentary and touches of humor. The pair aim both to inform the audience of said external and internal details of the film and their opinions on it in a casual format so as to not lose the audience's interest.
Audience: The audience of the video is generally anyone who comes upon the video, however it is likely targeted towards individuals more deeply invested in film and media rather than a layman, as there are several points of discussion and references that require extensive knowledge on other films and film genres. The age demographic is likely comprised of teens to adults considering the points previously mentioned and the presence of swearing and relatively subdued humor.
Context: The Mist is a 2007 science fiction horror film directed by Frank Darabont that adapts Stephen King's 1980 novel of the same name. The film takes place in a grocery store during an anomalous event where a strange heavy mist falls over the city, bringing horrifying creatures with it. The protagonist David Drayton struggles to negotiate with the others trapped in the grocery store as they grow increasingly unstable as the situation escalates. The video was released around the time the then-upcoming films It and The Dark Tower, other Stephen King film adaptations, gained traction, perhaps to capitalize on the buzz of the films and spark discussion on older Stephen King film adaptations.
Text: There is little-to-no text the video. Jay and Mike presents their video through back-and-forth dialogue, occasionally displaying pictures and playing clips of films in-between to add context to points of discussion.
