1. Alien Vs Predator Film
Trailer Analysis

2. This is an establishing shot clearly
because we see the setting of the movie.
From this shot we can establish straight
away that this film will be a kind of sci-fi
film and could be based on another planet.
We can also see from this shot that it is
dark, which brings about a cense of horror
and fear factor into the film.

3. This scene brings about a cense of mystery, as
we can see the person on the landing is
darkened by the lack of light. This automatically
makes us feel suspicious and uneasy about this
character. The character also reinforces the
suspicion by wearing dark clothing which shields
himself from the light.

4. These clips are fading into back and
are slow paced. I believe this brings a
feeling of tension into the movie trailer
as it is a build up to the climax of the
trailer.

5. From this low angle shot
we can see that this man is in power
Likely to be the leader of a group or
some kind of army

6. A large proportion of the mis-en-scene
From this trailer is technology based.
As we can see from this shot the men are
Using modern equipment.

7. After the build up we get
more fades into this character
which clearly poses a threat
to us as he stands in a dark a
back ground which plays
upon our conscience to fear
him.

8. The ending of the trailer is very effective as the
whole trailer goes silent again and then the final
jump comes as the monster launches itself at
our screen and give a personal effect to the
trailer. This is very typical of horror movies and
will be considered to be used in ours.
