We decided to deconstruct the film trailer of Shutter Island Shutter Island
The first still image shows a close up shot on the main character of the film. The close up is used so that the character is recognised as being important in the film. Also to show a well known actor who is recognisable and maybe the reason why some people are watching the film trailer, therefore persuading them to go see the film.
The second still image shows the setting. The setting is quite dull and is in a mid shot. Also gradually fading forward is the corporation’s title, this is the corporation that helped to distribute the film. The fading of the title tries not to take too much focus of the setting. However the setting gradually gets darker and the text getting brighter. Therefore the contrast is growing so that the text stands out.
The third still image shows an elderly lady from what seems like a point of view shot from someone passing by. Also the elderly lady has quite horrific features adding to the suspense of the film genre. Also she has reddened eyes which suggest that she is not well and mentally ill.
The fourth still image shows an action of an arm moving. The main focus of the clip is in fact the gun. The gun suggests danger thus adding to the thrilling genre. Also in this scene the surroundings seem quite dark accept were the gun is therefore it seems to spotlight the gun making it the first attraction and focus.
The fifth still image shows the location in which the film is set. The location is old and dark which is a continuous and recognisable trait for thrillers. This links it to the films genre nicely. This image shows a dull setting and the wild overgrowth of the building makes it appear old and not used.
The sixth still image shows a group of people in a low lighted room. The low light adds to the suspense. The time the film was made can also be shown in the dress of the characters and also in the old type of machinery which is in the left of the shot. The light is coming down on the equipment which helps outline and make it strongly stand out from the rest of the busy scene.
The seventh still image shows a point of view shot. The shot is from the character looking down into the notebook. The notebook shows a quite threatening message, however it is warning too. The message shows the danger which is going to happen in the film. The text is bold and edgy this makes it stand off the page. Still in this clip like the rest the scene is dull and in a foggy low light.
The eighth still image shows a black screen with a white font. This contrasts with the background which makes it clear and easy to read. The font is quite square this makes it appear bold and blunt. The actors name is written this is to allow the attended audience to know who the main actor is. This may also help to persuade the audience to watch it because they like the main actor.
The ninth still image shows quite a horrifying shot of a man reaching out of bars. This aggressive action adds suspense to the atmosphere of the audience. Also the dim light continues with the rest of the trailer and the theme of a thriller. However there is a flicker of light just about the arm this helps to highlight the arm, also it makes the dust and smoke standout which is often associated as quite negative imagery.
The tenth still image shows quite a disturbing image of the main actor holding a pile of ash in the shape of a woman. This adds to the thrilling and confusing aspect of the thriller. The main character is in the middle of the shot, therefore his presence really stands out and the audience focus on him. Also the emotion in the main characters face shows a lot of grieve and pain, which helps the audience feel this atmosphere too.
The eleventh still image shows the title. The font form the subtitles is used to consistency. Also the dark background adds to the idea of a thriller, where as the white font contrasts to this; which makes it clear and bold to read for most of the audience. Also its size will make it really stand out, therefore making it easy to remember for the audience.
The twelfth still image shows some additional information, that maybe important for the audience. Also the fact that is based upon a book may persuade some of the audience to watch it as they enjoyed the book. The font is still used here showing the importance of keeping a coincident font and style.
