1. The inter- title reads torture in this shot
layered across a villain, shown in mid-shot.
He is shown in a mid-shot. We see his power
and the fact he has a weapon enhances that
idea. It works extremely well as he has a
weapon in his hand. This gives the reader a
chance to associated the background mis en
scene with the inter-title in an attempt to
create a story within the 74 seconds.
The close up here really exemplifies
the villain’s power, he is very large in
the fame and so is his weapon. His
facial expression and body language
are clear signs of evil and death. Also
like the previous image, text is across
the mans torso, “or kill”. This is
effective as it involves the audience
to either understand what they mean
from the previous inter-titles or pose
an answer of their own making them
involved from the very beginning.
The long to mid shot uses interesting lighting here
which gives the shot a clear indication of what is
going on. the audience may feel gratification as
they are watching something that has happened in
real life. Using the black against this light is also
extremely effective. This inter-title reads inspired
by true events. This would shock the viewer and
possibly be something that would make them want
to watch it even more to see what happened and
understand the story behind it. It may add as a fear
factor for audiences who enjoy this particular
genre.
It reads “from the brilliant mind” The idea is that
the director had made films hat you are linked to
and this will be similar giving the audience a
chance to make links and understand more the
genre, and the sort of things to expect if they are
familiar with the director previously. However I
feel there is a lot of inter titles in this short trailer
and to much of the story line is revealed very
slowly throughout. I will use less in mine none the
less, if a famous actor or recognised director is
involved it is a very good selling point for films.
