1. The first thing that we see if the companies
name that produced and distributed the film
Universal and also their logo. This let the
view know instantly what company is behind
the film.
The first scene we see a over the shoulder,
medium shot of a Cuban man. The scene is
shot in a police station while the man is
getting interviewed. During this scene the first
dialoged we hear is the man telling the police
officer his name. Throughout we only ever see
Tony’s face and none of the police men. This
conveys that tony is a important character in
this film.

2. In this scene we get find out that the film is
being shot in Miami and the year 1980, this is
due to the voice over. During which we see a
action clip of a riot happening, there is a metal
fence with people attacking on one side and
police on the other. This is a convention of a
gangster movie as there is violence and
weapons used.
This is a medium shot of tony, where we can
begin to see more of his personality. He is
wearing a gold chain, a unbuttoned shirt and a
blazer. This shows that he has money and that
he is a business wear due to him being smartly
dressed.
In this scene we can see some people entering
some kind of club or casino. This show that tony
lives a stylist life, being able to afford luxury's like
car and expensive outings.

3. It then jumps to him at maybe a hotel or apartment
swimming pool. However he is not dressed for
swimming showing us that he isn't their to relax but
their for business due to his attire of a shirt and
blazer. Throughout the trailer so far we haven't seen a
long shot of tony but only mediums and close up. This
is to keep the viewer focused one him, his thoughts
and emotion.
We then see a women get into a lift, she is in a blue
backless dress, this show her to be very seductive
and elegant. She is shot from a low angel, this
shows that she is important as she is higher up.
We again see another close up of tony with a
gun to his face. This yet again informs up that
that this is a gangster movie due to the use of
guns. This also informs us now that tony is
apart of the violence, informing us on the
character more.

4. During this scene tony and his partner are walking
though the same club that was saw shot earlier.
Firstly this shows that this is a club that they go to
a lot and might have something to do with. When
walking though they shake hand with a man at
the club, this shows us that tony is a respected
man.
In the scene tony and his boys are in the club
with cigars and champagne. This shows that
these men have money to their name, and that
they like to spend it. This scene is shot with
them tree all in one frame informing us on their
relationship and that they are working together
and no against each other.
When ever we see the women, she is usually
dressed in minimal clothing, portraying that
women are seen as objects. These would also be
for the male gaze.

5. In this scene we can see more on tony expensive
objects, including his car. This is following the
conventions of a gangster movie as it is likely for
gangster to be portrayed as very flashy people,
as they wanted to people to know that they
have money. As they thought money equalled
power.
In this scene they are dealing with money. i.e.
counting it to see how much they have. This
clip is a jump clip where we only see seconds of
the money. This is to remind us of how much
money these gangsters are getting out of their
job.
The director have shot this scene in middle
shot showing mostly their mid body. There are
four guys in the shot, portraying that tony has
got people working for him. We can see that
he is a boss due to the fact that he is standing
in front and the rest of the men are following
him.

6. Hear we see the extent of Tony’s money and
power, as he is in a marble pool with gold
detailing. However it also show loneliness as
he is sitting in a huge bath on he own, making
the comparison significant.
During the end of the trailer is when their
seems to be a appearance of violence and guns.
This shows the viewers of the danger of being a
gangster as during the rest of the trailer they
mainly showed us about the money and girls
that gangsters get and not the violence behind
it.
In this scene tony is shooting a gun pointing
directly at the scene. This makes the viewer feel
as if they are getting shoot at. This makes the
trailer a much more exciting experience as they
are communicating with the viewers. This the
clip that they end the trailer on, meaning that it
remind the viewer of the character tony and
who he is.

7. After the shoots it then come up with the name
of the movie again. Informing and reminding the
viewer of the name so they will remember it.
It then comes up with the mans name that
plays the main character. In the same size and
font as the title of the film. Showing us that he
is a big importance to the film and that we
should remember his name.
