I am going to list all of the media terminology that I noticed in the trailer regarding the Sound, Camera, Editing and Mise en scene that is used throughout the trailer.
Sound
- There is a sound motif of a piano at the start of the trailer
- Then dialogue between the characters
- Asynchronous sound of little girl saying 'what if we don't like it here'.
- Diegetic sound of glasses clinking and chimes clicking together
- A sound effect of a loud high pitched trumpet sound is used to add tension to make the audience aware that something is going to happen to the character on screen.
- More diegetic sounds of an army of people hitting their weapons against their shields and then windows smashing and shouting a noise.
- Non diegetic sounds of gun shots
- The sound motif changes to a quicker pace to represent the change in atmosphere
- A percussive sound motif begins to add intensity
- The sound motif changes again into a calmer instrumental of pianos making the scenes atmosphere calm again
- Diegetic sound of a helicopter, gunshots and smashing sounds begin.
- Non digetic sound of a bomb exploding and fire crackling
- The sound motif turns to a heart beat that gets faster as the scene goes on, which builds intensity and represents how the character is feeling
- The trailer starts with a close up of the main actor in the film
- Then mid shots of the other three main characters
- Close up shot of little girl looking out of window
- Establishing shot of many houses to show the area (an Asian community)
- Long shot of the family walking into the hotel
- Two shot of little girls
- Long shot of main character walking outdoors
- The mid shot of him
- Then close up to show his facial expression change
- Extreme wide shot of the army walking down the street
- High angle shot of people fighting
- Track of man on floor
- Low angle shot of little girl pushing up out of a pool of water
- Two shot of parents
- Point of view shot from a door looking through the peek hole
- Handheld camera whilst the family is running to make the audience feel apart of the action
- High angle shot of family
- Close up of mother and daughter smiling
- Wide shot of people on roof and helicopter
- Close up of gun
- Close up of characters faces to show their emotions change
- Birds eye view of family trying to hide
- Point of view shot looking down on top of a building
- Ariel shot of girl being thrown off a building
Editing
- Various straight cuts of family
- The pace of the cross cuts increase as the trailer goes on to add intensity
- Slow motion of war (fighting) weapons, man turning around, man falling, people walking on the roof, main character throwing his child of the roof,
- Three fades of the main character walking to a shop this tells the audience that something is going to happen and adds a sense of nervousnesses into the scene
- Zoom cut into a weapon
- Fade to black of man on the floor (representing death?)
- Special effects of gun shots and explosions throughout the end of the scene
Mise en scene
- Characters: Owen Wilson and Pierce Brosan
- A white american family wearing casual clothes
- Low key lighting whilst the characters are moving into their house to show that it is night time
- High key lighting in the army scene to show that it is in the day time
- Props are used such as guns, weapons, a hat, a blue mask, shields, a phone and a glasses of beer
- The characters run and through there body language the audience knows that the y are terrified because there facial expression show that they are screaming and crying hysterically.
- The terrorist are wearing balaclavas, masks, have blood coloured t shirts on and they are Asian
- The location in in south east Asia
- Framing: mostly main characters of many different characters in the centre of the screen throughout
These are the notes that I took down on a mind map whilst watching the trailer various times, in order to make sure that I had analysed key features and so I didnt miss anything out as trailers are very fast paced:
