2. The trailer

6. Micro-Elements: Pace The pace of the trailer began slow but picked up speed, it makes the film seem more exciting as the pace builds up so does the suspense as to what's going to happen. It is created by the short shots and quick clips of parts of the film, adding to this effect is the black and white screen cut in now and again, this is a great effect to speed up the trailer. The excitement and speed excites the audience persuading them to watch the film.

7. Micro-Elements: Representation The New York based trailer shows a city scape of the city, which is very realistic as it exists. Along with this the costumes and clothing create a sense of realism and they are believable as they could be worn by modern day Americans. Also the dancers costumes are very burlesque and realistic in the way they would have worn similar ones in reality. However I do think it is maybe over glamorised and slightly unrealistic in the story line but that is expected for the type of film it is.

8. Micro-Elements: Other Lighting: The use of low lighting creates a sexy atmosphere to the film which is what burlesque is however the use of stage lights crates the whole performance and gives authenticity to the fact it’s a show performance. Costume: The costumes used are very fitting with the genre and extremely authentic to the burlesque culture. Dialogue: The way dialogue is used in this trailer is to keep the audience informed of the story line with out giving the plot away. Odd lines gives an impression of what happens.
