Panic Room
1.
2. The panic room trailer starts of with an equilibrium
(this is a method that most thriller trailers use to
create enigma later on in the trailer )with the
mother looking for a new house for her and her
daughter to live in in new York. Another genre
signifier I have notice in the panic room trailer is
that as pass of the montage shots speed up so
dose the pass of the music and sound which
creates tension, suspense and enigma with the
audience. One other thing I have noticed it
when most trailers star of with a establishing shot
slowly followed by a long shot followed mid shot
to create a relationship with the character at the
beginning of the equilibrium
-why did they move homes?
- Why is there a panic room?
-Why did the thefts choose their
-house to rob?
- What do the thieves want?
- What is in the panic room?
3. the panic room trailer starts of with calm, cosy and inviting music
with a voice over of the estate agent giving a tour of the house.
The mood and the music and its pass all changes when the panic
room was introduces with non digenetic sound of a train getting
closer(emphasis on the panic) heavy breathing as the agent
carry‟s on his tour of the house. As the equilibrium is about to be
disrupted as meg whispers to Sarah “I love you” which tells the
audience that a problem is about to accoutre. the problem has
arrives with gust of wind, loud thunder in the background, pulling
of door handles and footstep creeks until meg noticed that she
has intruders and everything when silent until she got in the panic
room then pass of the shot speeded up and so did the music and
the sound.
In the „panic room‟ there was a consistent use of fading shot to get to the next shot
another shot that was repetitively use was a fast shot. as the audience are aware that the
disruption has accrued the camera goes into a fast tracking shot all around the house into
a extreme zoom to identify the disruption. At the end they have a sound bridge when they
use a black screen and the Meg and Sarah are talking. One other thing I have noticed it
when most trailers star of with a establishing shot slowly followed by a long shot followed
mid shot to create a relationship with the character at the beginning of the equilibrium .as
the disruption comes into the house I noticed that they are taken out of focus and blurred
also the lighting is curtail element to panic room as lighting is used in a particular way to
portray a characters personality or mood .
4. Recently divorced Meg Altman and her
daughter Sarah have bought a new
home in New York. On their tour around
the mansion, they come across the
panic room. A room so secure, that no
one can get in. When three burglars
break in, Meg makes a move to the
panic room. But all her troubles don't
stop there. The criminals know where
she is, and what they require the most in
the house is in that very room. Just by
watching the trailer you can tell that
the movie is targeted to everyone
above 15 as it has something for
everybody for e.g. Mother and
daughter relationships will appeal to a
older female audience as the violence
will be more appealing by the teen
boys and the men viewers.
