Action Trailer Analysis - Skyfall



As soon as the clip starts its fast paced, there is loud jumpy music which grabs the audiences attention and the clips are short and snappy and there are fades to black used. The institution names then appear and this is a small break for the audience to take it all in. there are the stereotypical cars and gadgets shown in the clip and this is something we could try to incorporate but due to budget we would do this on a smaller scale. as many other trailers the basic plot is described while other clips are shown, this is something that we are looking to do in our trailer. there is fast paced music in the background which add tension for the audience. there is a mix of slow and fast paced clips incorporated in the trailer, this allows the plot to be explained and then shows the action, it also makes the action clips have more of an impact and the make the audience jump and one minuet the audience is calm and next on the edge of their seats. as these faced paced clips are included they quickly fade to black and this makes the audience more interested as they want to find out what happens. there are lots of establishing shots and the places they are set are usually busy streets of London and the underground, or rooms filled with technology. there are lots of two shots which establish relationships between characters and high and low angle shots which show who has authority, this is something that is very important in action films. towards the end if the trailer is becomes extremely faced based and there are lots of gun shots and explosions, due to our low budget we would not be able to do this but we would include the fast paced fight scenes towards the end of our trailer. the stereotypical car chase is also included and get this effect by having close ups on steering wheel and gear changing. we could also get someone to drive past us quickly as we film, we would not be able to use extremely expensive cars as it shows in the film but we could try and find the best possible car for this. the music becomes very fast towards the end and also becomes louder, as this happens there is no longer any conversation as this slows down the pace of the film, it focuses on gun shots and face paced music. as the clip ends it fades to black and the name of the film comes up in white writing. this makes it stand out and people will remember the name of the film so that they will go and see it.
