Extra Planning



I decided to do some extra planning as the genre of my film trailer will a crime/gangster caper. Firstly I viewed the trailer above making note of how many different shots were used, like the uses of close ups, long shots, high angle and low angle shots. I also looked at how fast the editing was done for this trailer and it's quite fast with shots lasting no longer than 3-4 seconds long. The beginning and the end of the trailer has the companies titles, usually in big bold font so the audience can recognise it.
There's also non diegetic played throughout the trailer, even when the characters are speaking, it's just that the song is lower in the mix so the audience can hear what the characters are saying. Another thing I noticed is that theres a lot of freeze framing which happens when introduced to a character and it also features a title bold title by the side of the character with a name, presumably the characters name. The main point of the story is explained through dialogue and titles.
