Deconstructions of Trailers

Trailer 1- Bronson
This trailer is a good example of what i primarily want to do with the use of various quick cuts, close ups and high and low angle shots. All of the following are used to create a very gritty sort of comedic character that does whatever he wants with no disregard to his health or well being.

Mise- En- Scene

Setting: Leicestershire, Prison, Mental Instituition, Courtrooms, Family Homes, train car,

Costumes: patient gown, standard clothes, suit, sunglasses, vest and pants.

Expression: the character is very unstable and can go from a very normal expression to a very violent expression in the matter of seconds due to his violent nature, this gives the audiende the idea that the character of Bronson is very unstable and can lead to some quite interesting parts in the film.

Props: Sawed off shotgun, sunglasses, tie which he uses to choke one of the characters

 

Camera Angles, Movements & Shot Types

Slow panning of scenery shots, ,zoom, camera tracking

Close ups of guns and money

Tracking shot as he leaves the court

HIgh angles of him  laughing

Establishing shots of post office, council estate.

POV of inside the prison itself

 

Sound

Dialogue's of the main character are used for the trailer to give a brief overview of the characters background and what there background is.

Sort of a comedic way that it is set out with the choice of music, its very British but also quite silly and not as serious as it should be probably to give you an idea on the character himself.

Crowd cheering

Sound of punches

Sound of  laughter

Sound of prison door closing

Sounds of Bronson being injected very forcefully

Sounds of Bronson headbutting a guard.

Trailer 2- The Town
This trailer has a lot of action in and fast paced shots especially when it comes to the parts in the trailer where the action really picks up and the music starts to get faster and louder, id like to incorporate this into my work to keep my audience excited and on the edge of their seat.

Mise- En- Scene

Setting: Boston (America), Prison, bar, Courtrooms, Family Homes, out on the streets.

Costumes: Nuns costume , street clothes, suits, policemans uniform, paramedic costume

Expression: Main character has a conscience and often has a concerned look on his face and shows mercy in people who he maybe hurts of upsets, this is completely different when it comes to his brother in the film who shows no remorse and often has a determined look on his face.

Camera Angles, Movements & Shot Types

Slow panning of scenery shots ,zoom, camera tracking

Trailer 3- The Dark Knight

I like this trailer a lot as it has a complete interptretation of right and wrong and how different they are, you have Batman the main character who fights for all the right reasons and the complete opposite in The Joker. There is also a lot of different things going on in the trailer but they are all related to the story which i found interesting which i might try to add into my trailer i am still trying to find out how i can incorporate it.

 

 

Mise- En- Scene

Setting: Gotham, Streets, Offices, Rooftops, Kitchen

Costumes: Purple suit, Batman outfit, suits, police uniforms, clown costumes for the henchmen.

Expression: The main character often shows a look of concern on his face or worry but that changes to determination and anger as the trailer progresses. The Joker character however has a mostly joyful expression as he is always happy for whatever reason.

Props: Knifes, guns, playing cards, briefcase
