My Genre Trailer Analysis (Spy)

Camera Angles

• Like many other spy trailers, this trailer starts with an establishing shot (in this case it is an affluent shot of  the United States Capitol with the Washington Monument in the background). Starting a trailer with a 2 second shot of this hacks into the audiences subconscious and allows the audience to understand that this movie will be a high quality production with great effects and locations.
• The camera angles then move on to a a group of mid shots (while liked with audio) creates a connection between the audience and the character. Doing this also allows the trailer to present the plot of the film.
• Also the trailer uses a period of long shots to present the action element. This has been created by the way that the long shots have been focused on the fight scenes or on the vehicles used (jets and sports cars). As well as giving the audience and insight to the type of blockbuster this film is, it also conveys the type of action spy movie it is.
• The trailer uses close up shots when focusing on the gadgets or props that have been used in the movie. This confirms to the audience the type of genre of the film and conveys that it is a spy action movie by the uses of guns, gadgets and weapons.
• Mid shots have been used in the trailer any time that there has been a comedy element added. not only is it a mid shot, the hero in focus is positioned the the middle of the screen which adds an awkward and uncomfortable element which adds to the comedy.

Sound

• From the very beginning of the trailer of the trailer, a non-dietetic fast paced beat has been played over the sequence of shots. This allows the audience to understand from the very beginning that this will be a modern, faced pace, feel good action film.
• To express the comedy element of the film the fast paced beat suddenly comes to a stop to create a comic awkward silence while the main hero delivers her comedy line "I'm just cleansing my pallet". Creating this helps the audience understand that this film may be an action comedy but it isn't a spoof of an action film. 
• To fully convey that this is a strong fast paced action film, towards the end of the trailer, a fast paced quick pop song has been used to present a high power film the is full of action. doing this by using the aural element really appeals to the men of the demographic as all of the loud, fast music will build up their testosterone and entice them towards the film.  

Miss-en-scene

• Over the whole of the trailer, it is clear to the viewer that there has been a specific color scheme used in the film. These colors include gold, red and blue. Gold and red has been used mainly in the beginning of the trailer to quickly wealth and express to the audience. This is more of a technique you would see in an american film with a large budget and as i do not have this budget i may have to create a different colour scheme. Due to my film set in London i may use the colours Blue and Grey.
• Another strong piece of miss-en-scene was the use of weapons, action and effects in the film. These include guns, car chases and explosions. This is a strong technique for a trailer to use if it wants to give the impression of action and high intensity. With connection to the story line this is a grate technique to use as it will really give professionalism to my work. I do not have the budget to use explosions in my work so i will have to edit my work in a way that gives the sense of high intensity action. I can do this by increasing the speed of clips and using many clips in a short period of time.

Editing

• This trailer uses many "fade to black cuts" when editing. This gives large connotations of mysteriousness and depending on the speed of the fade it can slow or speed up the pace of the trailer.And example of this would be that if you want a quick montage, you can use 0.2 second fade to black to make it look rounded and well cut. Another example of this would be that a long fade to black (3 seconds) between clips can build up tension and mysteriousness. I will use this technique in my trailer as it will make it look much more professional and give a mysterious personality to it.
• Through-out the clip the trailer cuts the clips to show the reaction shots of the other characters. An example of this would be that it will show a 3 second clip of someone taking and then a 0.5 second clip of the reaction of the person whom they are talking to. These are only slight cuts that art even noticeable the first time but subconsciously allows the personality of the characters to be presented to the readers. This may be a technique that i use in my trailer if i want the audience to connect with my characters.
