Teaser Trailer:

3. Shot 1:
This first shot within the teaser trailer displays a low angle mid shot of character Nick, husband of Amy who has
gone missing. By the use of a low angle shot Nick appears more powerful and in control over the audience looking
up at him. This could be foreshadowing his controlling and overpowering personality displayed further into the film.
By the use of low-key lighting more shadows are created which has connotations of secrecy and mystery which are
a few of the main themes running throughout the film. These themes are typical for a psychological thriller film. In
this shot a yellow filter/tint has been applied which is also typically used in psychological thrillers as it creates an
uncomfortable and unnerving feel. This feeling is created because, we as the audience, do not know what's real and
what's not. The yellow filter resembles a sepia tone which is associated to historic and old-fashioned events.
Therefore makes the audience feel uneasy as the old-fashioned sepia tone juxtaposes with the modern context of
the shot making it harder to process and understand for the audience.
By the typography used we can see in bold letter the word “MISSING” with an image of character Amy underneath.
This suggests her disappearance is being talked about by husband Nick to a crowd of people (due to the
microphone, use of props and mise en scene).
Nick’s facial expressions appear to be very serious and his body language is close off which suggests he is
uncomfortable and anxious. In the background we can see an elderly couple who we as the audience assume is
Amy’s parents. They too have a serious and worried facial expression which creates a serious and concerned
atmospheric feel.
The specific setting/location is unknown to us as an audience but in another shot we see people gathering around a
stage in a park which suggests her disappearance is being published to the local people in local park.

4. Shot 2:
In this close up we can see Amy looking up towards something (we assume her husband, Nick).
By this low angle close she appears vulnerable and scared as shown through her serious facial
expressions looking up towards her husband in approval. By her looking up motionless at him
she displays a lack of power and control as she appears lower than him and so in a more
vulnerable and powerless position. Throughout the teaser trailer close ups have been used,
mostly of the protagonist and “damsel in distress”. Due to the mise en scene we can see she is
wearing little makeup, has a casual hairstyle and her costume can not be seen a this angle. This
displays her physical state as she appear pale and frail suggesting she is vulnerable and
powerless against her husband.
A shallow depth of field has been used meaning the background appears blurred whilst Amy,
the female character appears defined clear which makes the audience focus all their attention
on her.
Low –key lighting has been used to create a sense of mystery and suspense as to why she is
looking at him like this and what s going to happen next. The shadowed lighting defines her
facial features and defined collar bone and shoulder.

5. I found this side profile close up/medium two shot, of characters Amy and Nick interesting as it
is in low-key lighting and they are arguing this could connote that their marriage and love is
actually toxic and dark. Also I find the loose frame, shows the proportions of the characters
more dominantly, for example we can see that Nick is a lot more powerful in this shot through
the way he is guiding her head towards him suggesting that he is the dominant and controlling
one in the relationship. This shot has very little light on it, creating a silhouette of the two
characters. Although they seem intimate, Nick has all the power in the situation as he is
touching Amy whilst she is pressed against the wall. This is further indication to the audience of
the power that Nick has over his wife.
Nick appears to be the more shadowed silhouette figure which could have symbolic meaning,
suggesting he has a dark side to his personality and holds more secrets and mystery to his
complex character.
The previous shot uses a dissolve/fade transition to move onto this medium close up of Nick and
Amy they are consuming most of the space in the shot and are placed in the centre, this draws
the audience in so that their attention is placed on Nick and Amy. This presentation of an
intimate setting is furthered by their proximity and the low-key lighting.
Shot 3:

6. Shot 4:
This high angle long shot has been used to establish the setting for the audience and allow them
to feel more involved in the sequence. The shot displays a point of view shot of Nick who is
shown to walk into the room and turn towards what we can now see. This gives a sense of
perspective and allows the audience to feel the emotions he is feeling at this point in time. By
the low-key lighting used the setting of their living room appears eerie and unnerving as it
doesn’t appear homely or welcoming. The smashed glass and upside down furniture suggests a
robbery has taken place which could link to the criminal theme running throughout the film.
The natural lighting coming from the windows creates shadows and defined sections on the
furniture.
By using a home as a setting in the film it makes it more rateable on a personal level for the
audience. This is often done in psychological thriller to allow the film effect the audience in a
more personal way as well as psychologically.

7. Shot 5:
This is one of the most interesting sequences in the teaser trailer. The sequence first starts with Amy
in the bath, then the screen is consumed by the black silhouette of Nick, the fact that he consumes
the entire screen shows just how imposing he is. It also displays how overpowering and controlling he
is as a character.
Amy then slides into the bath and the shot transitions with the use of a straight cut to the next shot,
this highlights her vulnerability as she is seen as weaker than Nick who dominates the shot. Especially
as the camera is places so far away from her so that she seems extremely small.
Amy’s facial expressions appear to be very worried and afraid as if she is physically displaying her
vulnerability around her husband Nick.
The choice of setting, in a bath, creates a sense of exposure for Amy’s character as she is unprotected
and shown to be at her most vulnerable.
Apart from the shadowed silhouette of Nick lingering over her, the shot appears to display high-key
lighting of Amy in the bath which creates a sense of realism and believability which the audience find
easier to create to the situation and so feel a personal rapport/connection with the scene which
entices them more.
By the use of deep depth of field which blurs the sides of the shot and makes the main focus in the
frame is Amy as she is in focus and so appears the most striking feature of the shot. This emphasises
her closed off body language and frightened/anxious facial expression.

8. Shot 6:
In this close up/mid shot of Nick standing next to the “MISSING” poster of Amy we can see his happy facial expressions
suggesting he was pleased for her disappearance. This creates a sense of mystery to the narrative and makes the audience
question his innocence within the disappearance of his wife. The size of the picture of Amy appears much larger than Nick
which suggests her dominance and controlling character type even when not physically there.
In the shot we can see, by the use of mise en scene (props), the American flag in the background. This could establish the
location of the film and allow the audience to gain a sense of context and background knowledge surrounding the
character’s lives.
By the use of high-key lighting a sense of real-life/ realism is created which allows the audience to relate to the situation
and feel a personal rapport with the character and their circumstances.
By the use of flashing lights from the cameras the high-key lighting is heightened and his facial expression is emphasised.
The flashing lights also suggests the severity of the situation as the press have bothered to show up and take pictures. His
smiling facial expressions contradicts the worry he is feeling but could be interpreted as an automatic response for when a
camera is pointed at someone, to smile. However, some audience member may interpret his happy facial expressions as a
sinister and emotionless thing to do as his wife has gone missing and he appears happy about it, this suggesting whether he
has a darker, more evil side to him.
Nick’s character is wearing a smart blue shirt (mise en scene, costume) which could suggest the seriousness of this situation
and yet his facial expressions juxtapose the serious atmosphere created.
His smile resembles Amy’s in the large picture next to him. This symmetrical framing and composition of faces makes it
seem as if they are both happy for what has happened. This psychologically challenge's and tests the audience making them
question the characters intentions which is a typical convention in psychological thriller films.

9. Shot 7:
In this high angle over the shoulder shot we can see the mage from the perspective of the male character in the frame. We, as the
audience assume this character is a police officer/detective on the disappearance case of Amy as the image he is looking at appears
to be evidence from the crime scene. By using a high angle, over the shoulder shot the audience can feel a sense of perspective from
a different character except from Amy or Nick, on which it usually is. By doing so the audience feel more involved in the scene and
find the situation easier to understand and relate to.
A mixture of high-key lighting and low-key lighting has been used in this shot as the man in the corner of the frame appears to be a
shadowed silhouette whilst the image has high-key lighting on it to allow the audience to see a clear view of the picture and its
content. This mixture of lighting connotes the mixture of sections throughout the teaser trailer with a sense of mystery from the
shadowed areas then a sense of realism and normality displayed by the lighter sections. This juxtaposition of normality and
mystery/unanswered questions is often used a main theme in psychological thrillers enabling the audience to question what's real
and what's not making them feel enticed and intrigued to find out the enigmas within the narrative.
Within the montage sequence this shot has a short duration and is followed by a straight cut transition. These editing techniques
have been used purposely to emphasise the criminal sub-genre aspects of the film whilst keeping the audience enticed and anxious
as the sequence continues to be fast pace.
The image the detective appears to be holding is an x-ray image of blood smothered across the floor. This image is used as evidence
when finding the suspect for the disappearance of Amy. The concept of blood has connotations of violence and crime which
foreshadows the future circumstances. This image acts as a clue as to what is yet to come further into the film and ensures the
audience feel intrigued enough to want to watch the full film when its released. There appears to be a hand print on the x-ray which
suggests to the audience that this is in fact the detection of human blood which then leads onto the questions, whose blood is it and
why is it smothered all over the floor? This sense of enigma and unanswered questions in often used in psychological thrillers to
mentally tease the audience and make them solve the puzzle themselves which often keeps them enticed and watching the full film.

10. Shot 8:
This high angle point of view shot displays an envelope named “Clue One”. By the use of a point of
view shot the audience feel more involved in the scene which allows then to connect and relate to the
situation more easily. The words “Clue One” suggests the film surrounds a game-like theme between
the characters, implying someone is going to loose in the end. The words have been hand-written
which creates a personal connection for the audience. There is a theme of white in the shot which
stereotypically has connotations of purity and innocence, this something that contradicts the
character type of Amy which is later discovered by the audience. When considering the use of mise en
scene, we can see the costume choice (the blue latex gloves) which suggest this is the scene of a
crime and this note is important evidence. This suggests the film is not only a psychological thriller but
also has features of crime. By the use of props and costume (mise en scene) we see a more personal
and feminine side to Amy’s character as the note is leant again her lingerie/clothing which suggests
the content of the note is linked to Amy in some way. This composition of visual features including
(mise en scene) props, costume, camera angles and shadowed lighting suggests mystery and secrecy
which is often the main themes included in psychological thrillers. By the wording saying “Clue One”
this suggests a mind game is being played which is often used in psychological thriller as it mentally
tests the audience and characters involved which emphasise the psychological aspect of a
psychological thriller.

11. This low-key lit, eerie mid shot of Amy appears t show her sinking in water. At this point in the
teaser trailer, the non-diegetic sound in the background is still Nick’s voiceover. This contras
between his voice and this sinister and morbid shot suggests his innocence in her disappearance
is not as it seems, making him a main suspect within the investigation.
By the use of low-key lighting and a blue tint/filter it suggests Amy has drowned in the cold
water, as blue has connotations of coldness. The back background creates a sinister and eerie
atmospheric feel for the audience as they are unaware of her location as her surroundings can
not be seen. By the use of a close up we can see her facial expression in detail. She isn't moving
only floating though the water which again suggests she has drowned in water. By the
appearance of her facia expressions she appears to be in pain as her dark, dead eyes are starring
off into the distance. How Amy’s character ended up where she is unknown to the audience
which reinforces the theme of mystery and unanswered questions. A straight cut transition was
used to display this shot which continued the montage edited sequence. This montage
sequence compresses time and the overall story-line and leaves it on a cliff-hanger which
entices the audience making them question the characters fait and safety, encouraging them to
watch the full-length film when released.
Shot 9:

12. Overall Teaser Trailer:
The most common shot types that are shown in the trailer are medium shots, close up’s, medium close up and long shots.
Medium shots have be used to show the characters movements, composition as well as body language and location. Close
up shots have been used in this teaser trailer to display the emotion on character’s faces and to capture feeling the
characters are experiencing. However, long shots have been used to show the different locations that are featured within
the film. The teaser trailer uses flashbacks therefore does not follow continuity editing, this is reinforced by the montage
sequence used.
Short duration shots have been used in the montage sequence which creates an anxious and fast pace feel to the collection
of shots. This keeps the audience intrigued and enticed in the fast pace sequence of dramatic and intense shots. The
constant flashing of cameras towards the end of the teaser trailer suggests the public have concerns and suspicions on the
innocence of Nick, her husband.
From the first shot in the teaser trailer it appears to be clear that the film is a mystery drama/psychological thriller genre
about a woman who has gone missing. However, as the teaser trailer goes on we start to understand that the husband of
the woman is being suspected for her murder which then suggests that the genre of the film is crime related. The teaser
trailer suggests that the genre of the film is a combination of mystery, crime and psychological manipulation.
The only titles, text graphics in the teaser trailer are those that are at the end that states the film title “Gone Girl”, and the
release date, October 3rd. This could be to ensure the audience remember the name and release date so they anticipate the
full length film in the cinema.

13. Sound
Diegetic sound is first display as the dialogue from Nick states “As you all know, my wife, Amy Elliott Dunne, disappeared three days
ago”. An overwhelming sound of music and a mans voice begins to sing with a slow pace yet intense and eerie due to the camera
angles used.
The non-diegetic music used in the teaser trailer is called “She” this links to the narrative of the film based around the woman, Amy
who goes missing. Whilst the dialogue was being said a simple yet effective and intense piano solo (non-diegetic background
sound/music) was being played. This song is fairly slow paced which is similar to the pace of the teaser trailer at the beginning. The
song then builds in volume and speed as does the teaser trailer. This song appears to suggest a romantic genre as the words are
romance related, however, as the teaser trailer exposes the dark secrets and mystery within their marriage and Amy’s disappearance,
the music become louder and more overwhelming which makes the audience feel the intensity of the scenes which entices them
and leaves them intrigued. What once was consider romantic song turns dark and sinister as the shots they are played over
manipulate the innocence of the narrative. The diegetic flashing sound of the cameras by the paparazzi were included which
emphasises the intrusiveness of the situation and exaggerates the severity of Amy’s disappearance as it is news worthy information.
Also the diegetic sound of smashing glass and shouting people creates a sense of anxiousness and yet realism as these sounds are
heard in everyday life which makes the situation more relatable for the audience.
Half way through the teaser trailer diegetic sound dialogue is used to create a sense of realism and believability. Amy says “We cant
go on like this”, Nick then says “what I'm not good enough for you”, Amy then replies “Not even close” then the non-diegetic music
continues. This is then followed by a police officer then uses diegetic sound, dialogue to say “stay back, everybody stay back”
followed by the diegetic sound of a car door shutting.
There are three main sections of dialogue throughout the teaser trailer, it begins with the main male character addressing an
audience about the disappearance of is wife, this is an important part of the teaser trailer because without it the narrative would not
be as clear for the audience. The second piece of diegetic dialogue is an argument between husband and wife, which also adds to the
narrative of the film as it suggests the wife is unhappy with the marriage. The final dialogue could be classed as a voiceover as it does
not match with the image on screen. This non-diegetic voice over of the husband saying “I did not kill my wife, I am not a murder!”.
In the teaser trailer for “Gone Girl” there was no noticeable special effects until the very end of the teaser trailer when we see the
female character looking as if she is dead and sinking under water. This voice over makes the psychological thriller genre very clear to
the audience as this suggests mystery, violence and a conflict between love and hate within a marriage. This dialogue resembles a
statement said in a police station when tying to prove ones innocence. This could encourage he audience to question his innocence
before watching the whole film which psychologically manipulates the audience’s perception and perspective of characters which
entices and intrigues the audience. This then fades into silence which creates an intense and dramatic atmospheric feel for the
audience who are left with many unanswered questions which will encourage them to go and watch the full-length film in the
cinemas.

14. Narrative
“Gone Girl” directed by David Fincher and based upon the global bestseller by Gillian Flynn. The beginning of
the film displays he stereotypical romance film with love, romance between the new couple Nick and Amy.
However, as the marriage develops crack in their relationship emerge. Their perfect marriage begins to
crumble due to affairs, domestic violence and lack of trust between the two characters. On the couples fifth
wedding anniversary Nick reports that his wife Amy has gone missing. The police become involved and over
tie the whole neighbourhood and general public become very involved in the investigation. The investigation
develops and Nick's deepest, darkest secrets are revealed which leaves the audience wondering, did Nick
Dunne kill his wife? This ongoing enigma is continuously asked throughout the psychologically thrilling film.
However, by the end of the film the trust of Amy’s whereabouts and disappearance is revealed. Amy was the
one who decided to leave and frame her death making it look like Nick killed her. Once she had returned
home by the end of the film, the innocent, vulnerable character Amy was now considered a psychotic,
manipulative woman who would risk everything to get her husband arrested for murder. We are still
unaware completely of why she did this but we suspect she was unhappy in the abusive relationship and
suspected Nick’s affair.

15. Genre
The genre of this film is a psychological thriller. This is reinforced and proven by the features that follow the conventions of a
psychological thriller fil. For example the use of weapons and violence. In the teaser trailer Nick appears to push Amy in a violent
way which suggests domestic abuse within the marriage. Within the teaser trailer the police, paparazzi and shouting people/the
general public in an aggressive way has been presented. This displays the concern of people due to the disappearance of Amy
which makes it clear to the audience tat something bad has happened for this many people to be involved and concerned about
her disappearance. The main themes within this film are deceit, secrecy ad mystery. The secrecy and deceit that both characters
within the marriage convey (Amy lied about her disappearance and Nick had an affair) reinforces the typical conventions of a
psychological thriller which is when characters have a motive or sinister goal in mind when psychologically manipulating the
audience and characters. In this we see that Amy was determined to frame her husband of her death. This then lead to clues (
such as notes and presents sent to Nick’s door) a mind games which again reinforces the typical conventions of a psychological
thriller film. Mise en scene such as blood, smashed glass and sinister locations have been used to ensure the audience are aware
that this is a psychological thriller film.
Amy initially was represented as a vulnerable, innocent woman who had been abducted, however, as the film develops the truth
is revealed and the audience discover he dark side. This gradual progression of a character from the victim to the antagonist is
often shown in psychological thrillers as it mentally manipulates the audience and makes them questions the truth. However,
Nick was portrayed openly as a relatively violent/short tempered an who had insecurities, and thought the film his secrets were
exposed, including his affair, which made him the prime suspect for Amy’s disappearance. This representation juxtaposes with
Amy's character because no one suspected Amy to have been behind it all, however, everyone suspected Nick for the death of
Amy which displays the judgement and accusations people (the audience and characters) can hold. This mystery and
foreshadowing within the film is also a typical convention used within psychological thriller films. It allows the audience to
believe they have control as they known more than the character, when in actual fact they are being psychologically
manipulated. Low-key lighting and short duration shots within a montage sequence are often used in psychological thrillers to
create a sense of tension and suspense for the audience. Psychological thrillers also usually close ups and establishing shots wit
point of view shots along with over the shoulder shots which “Gone Girl” also does. It creates a sense of perspective and allows
the audience to see things through the eyes of a character, making them feel re involved.

16. Target Audience
This psychological thriller film would appeal to a wide range of people. This include both males and females. This is because
the two main characters within the film are male and female meaning both genders could relate and feel a sense of
understanding when watching the film. “Gone Girl” is a psychological thriller meaning it could contain content and scenes
that are not appropriate to younger viewers meaning the age range would be anywhere from 16 years old to 30 years old or
older. I would assume his film would not appeal to an older audience, anywhere over 60 years old as there re no characters
that age to relate to. Also the action and fast pace story stereotypically appeals to a younger audience. Another reason for
having a target audience over 16 years old is because this film is aa psychological thriller meaning it will contain
psychologically challenging content which requires a level of intellect to understand and have the full effect of the film.
Couples may also be interested in this film as the storyline revolves around a corrupt marriage which over time turns dark
and sinister.
Audience members who are fans of mysteries and crime solving would be interested in this film as it involves investigations
and detective work not only for the characters to solve the mystery but also for the audience too so they feel a sense of
involvement in the film. This would then depend on the audience member’s interests which would determine weather they
would enjoy a mystery thriller like this film. For example if they enjoyed detective work or watched crime shows on
television this film would appeal to those audience members.
This film has a wide demographic of target audience members to appeal to as it covers a lot of sub-genre, such as a
psychological thriller, crime thriller, drama an other themes such as features of romance, violence, mystery and deceit. This
range of genres will appeal to a wide demographic and so entice a large amount of people to watch the film.

17. The entire “Gone Girl” teaser trailer is 1 minute and 38 seconds long.
At the beginning of the teaser trailer the genre of the film appears to be romantic due to the romantic relationship shots
were the couple seem happy and in love. However, as the teaser trailer progresses the music becomes more overwhelming
and the hot content appears more intense and violent as the mood changes and facial expressions become more serious.
This suggests the film progressively demonstrates a thriller genre, and by the “Clue 1” and suggested puzzle to solve the
which makes it appear to e a psychological thriller film. From this sub-genre displayed the audience can expect
psychologically challenging mysteries to investigate and solve for themselves.
This teaser trailer leaves the audience with multiple unanswered questions and enigmas within the narrative. For example
will Amy ever be found? Is Amy dead or is she still alive? Who took Amy, was it her suspected husband? Who is leaving the
clues and hints for Nick? Also has she been taken/kidnapped or did she choose to leave?
There are many USP’S in the film “Gone Girl”, one of which is the mystery surrounding Amy’s disappearance. This is
considered to be a unique selling point for the psychological thriller film as it makes the audience suspect the husband and
other character. This enigma and mystery is often used as a main theme in psychological thriller as it leaves the audience in
control of perceiving what they want from the narrative. However, the clues and hints left for the husband to solve the
mystery of is wife’s disappearance is what makes the film so unique and intriguing.
I found this teaser trailer very useful when analysing it as it has the same genre as our production (psychological thriller)
and so found the different elements and techniques used very helpful wen considering the details of our own
production/teaser trailer. I found the use of non-diegetic music in the background that starts quiet and innocent then
gradually gets louder and more overwhelming and eerie/intense. This progression from normality to mystery and intensity
through the use of non-diegetic and diegetic sound and montage sequence with short shot durations entices the audience
and makes the genre of the film obvious to the audience. I was inspired by the flashbacks from present time to the past and
found them very intriguing and psychologically thrilling as it makes the audience question the innocence of each character
based on the way they have behaved/acted in the past. The extreme camera angles including close ups and over the
shoulder shots etc. Along with the complex editing I found to be very inspiring and something I would consider applying to
our own production to create a more effective and intense composition of scenes. I also found the range of locations and
perspectives very interesting when constructing a teaser trailer as it manipulates the audience's perspective and perception
of the narrative and the character involved.

18. “Gone Girl” Film Poster Analysis
The two main characters are shown within the image
by the use of a mid/close up shot. The white simplistic
text has connotations of innocence and purity which
juxtaposes with the sinister and psychologically
testing content of the film. Their names have been
displayed at the top as they are well known actors
which will help to promote and appeal to a wide
range of audience members. The positioning of the
female and male characters displays the female to be
more powerful an in control which is a unique take on
a psychological thriller film which appears as one of
their USP’s (unique selling point’s). This juxtaposes
the weak and vulnerable female displayed in the
teaser trailer which makes the audience question
each character’s innocence in the situation.
The smoke that appears between the two characters
could symbolise how their marriage is not as it seems.
The smoke blurs the viewers perspective and so could
link to the theme of illusion and deceit in the film.
Nicks character appears smaller than Amy who covers
most of the frame. This suggests she, as a character is
more powerful and controlling over Nick. Her
positioning/pose appears very strong and bold which
could be reflection of her character type in the film.
However, Nick appears to be looking over Amy
whether in a caring way or in an anxious paranoid
way, we as the audience must find out.
Nick appears to using direct mode of address and
Amy does not (she's looking into the distance). This
makes us suspect/question whether he is looking to
the audience for the help as Amy is not who she
seems.
By the use of mise en scene (costume and makeup)
she appears to be wearing minimal makeup and is
exposed wearing hardly anything. However, Nick
appears to be covered up in a black shirt, a colour
which has connotations of mystery and darkness.
This juxtaposition of appearances could symbolise
the juxtaposition of characters.
The film title “Gone Girl” appears to be in bold, black
font which reflects the boldness presented by Amy,
the character at the front. The dark text colour
suggest the darkness and sinister feel there is within
the film. The text fades into the clouded smoke which
suggests the idea of secrets being covered up and
things not seeming to be what people once thought
they were. This idea of illusion and perspective is
used throughout the film as the disappearance
speculates rumours and different opinions concerning
Amy’s where about’s and who took her.
The names and credits have been included at
the bottom of the film poster. Also the quotes
from reviews etc and the release date of the full
length film in a larger font which ensures the
audience notice the release date and remember
to go and watch it in cinemas. (it is an
international poster and that is why some of the
text is in a different language).
By the use of low-key lighting we can see the darkness
in the background with a blue and yellow tint a cold
and eerie atmospheric feel is created which reinforces
the mysterious narrative of the film. These colours are
often used within a psychological thriller as they
appear emotionless and disconnected from human
form. The light being shone onto the left side of their
faces makes the audience question where it is coming
from and whether that is what Amy is looking at. By
creating an enigma they audience feel more intrigued
and enticed to watch the film. This high-key lighting
defines and emphasises the structure of their face
and gives a comparison of light and dark, much like
the characters, they both have their dark sides as well
as their lighter side.
We can see the setting of the film poster by the
landscape, scenic background which appears to be
outside in an open field/landscape location. The
openness and freeness that is portrayed by the
background juxtaposes with the entrapped feeling
created by the teaser trailer. This entrapped feeling is
created by the police watching the characters closely
and the speculation and judgement being made by
neighbours and the general public. These characters
also feel trapped when with each other, they appear
free in the film poster with a lot of space above and
around them, however, they are both each others
metaphorical cage (that makes them feel entrapped).
