At the beginning of the trailer there is a two shot of women fighting.
This quickly tells the audiences that the genre is action and gives an
insight into what the film will be about. There is a mid shot of girls
training to fight on dummy’s, this shows how there being trained
from a young age therefore they will be exquisite when they grow
up. During the action, there is fast pace shots. There are titles that
appear telling the story to the audience. The girl wants a new life as
a normal person however she still acts as if she is in her old life.
There is an over the shoulder shot of her pinning someone on the
floor. At the start of the trailer the non-diegetic sound during the
action shots is fast and tension building however during her new life
when there is action shots the music is slower and sounds more
enjoyable. This shows the audience that her new life is better and
proves she is having more fun. During this enjoyable non-diegetic
sound there is still fast paced shots which is the same as earlier
when the sound was fast and building tension.

3. Casino Royale

During the opening of the trailer there is shooting and murders. This is
classic from a Bond film. The hero, 007 is shown at the start of the film
beating someone up and shooting someone. This shows his power and
tells the audience what will happen during the film. There is a voiceover
of James Bond’s boss telling him about the villain which then changes to
an over the shoulder shot of them talking. There is a close up of the
villain, this told the audience who the antagonist was as there is non-
diegetic sound of the boss telling Bond about him. There is pleonastic
sound of 007 as he punches and kicks the antagonists this exaggerates his
actions allowing the audience to feel how hard he is hitting them. There
are props such as knives and guns to show how dangerous the situation
is. There is non diegetic sound that builds tension, the volume then
lowers while there is a voiceover. There is a blackout and the non
diegetic sound is then loud and fast again as the action kicks off. There
is a bad ending of the protagonist flipping his car. This will make the
audience want to view the film to see what happens to James Bond.
Lastly there is a blackout and the title of the film appears.

As soon as the trailer starts there is instant building of tension. This implies to
the audience that there is lots of action. There is a close up of a woman without
her mask her. She looks shocked implying she is vulnerable without this costume.
The next shot is an establishing wide shot of the location where the film is set.
There is a voiceover of the boss telling his agent what he wants (the drive). After
this, there is then a mid-shot of her running holding the drive. The trailer has
rapid transitions during the action parts of the film. The film uses a woman as
the protagonist being an agent. They show this with a close up of her holding a
gun, this is different because people usually associate men with being an agent
and killing people. There is pleonastic sound of a car screeching as it reverses.
This emphasis to the audience making it more excitable. The trailer has
consistent tension building and fast transitions. These fast paced transitions
make it difficult to see what’s going on making the audience want to watch it.
The trailer shows titles with a red background. The red background implies blood
suggesting to the audience the film will be full of action.

5. Free Fall

At the start of the trailer there is a mid shot of a woman looking worried. This is
as there is non diegetic sound of a voiceover saying “you are the ideal candidate
to take over”. After this, a ticking noise is going off suggesting that she is running
out of time. There is a close up of a man smoking. As this shot is shown the music
is mysterious, this make him look like an antagonists as he is smoking however he
is working with the protagonists. There is pleonastic sound of a gun being
cocked. Normally the sound of this would be fairly quiet however they want to
emphasise the sound. There is another close up of the woman looking petrified
and confused, this shows that she is not cut out for this type of job. The false
hero is in a mid shot of him smoking watching the cctv of the woman stuck in the
elevator. The audience can tell he isn’t a protagonist as he is not doing anything
to help her. The transitions are fast during the fighting scenes and action.
Although she looks scared and vulnerable there is a mid shot of her beating a
police officer up, this shows her building courage to become the hero. After this
there is a voiceover of a man saying “tick tock” as the tension is building, this
suggests she is now running out of time. The music suddenly stops as the sound of
an elevator goes off, the title of the film then appears.

6. Cattiness is in the start of the trailer, showing off her archery skills. During
the selection of the hunger games, there is a close up of her looking scared
implying to the audience that the hunger games is something bad. There is
fast pace cuts making it difficult for the audience to understand what's going
on, this relates to Cattiness as she is confused as well. The trailer has diegetic
sound of Cattiness, you can hear the fear in her voice proving how scary the
hunger games is. The music turns depressive as they are on there way to the
event. Cattiness again shows her skills in front of the organisers of the hunger
games by hitting the bull's-eye with a bow and arrow. As it hits, the non
diegetic music slows and quietens. There is a close up of the organisers
looking shocked showing they didn’t expect that from her. There is a
countdown and the music is loud and there are fast paced transitions showing
there is action. The title of the film appears as there is non diegetic sound of
boom.
