Trailer Analysis

 Analysis of Trailer

Mise-en-scene and sound created tension throughout the trailer of Spectre in a variety of ways to intise their audience.

A voice over is used at the very beginning to kick start the trailer. The voiceover is a use of asynchronus, non diegetic sound. The voiceover doesn't include much but what it does say creates mystery by speaking in a low toned voice. This is done so the audience have lots of questions raised about the film and makes them want to find the answer to these questions. Consequently, this draws in a wider audience and could, over all, increase the audience which view the film at the cinema as they are unable to wait to find the answer to the questions.

The speech throughout the trailer is very minimalistic. Key phrases and words are used throughout the trailer to not give the film away to the audience before they have seen the film. This allows for a wider audience to want to see the film as it leaves enigma codes.

Pleonastic sound is used throughout the entire trailer and is used to exagerate the sound of explosions and gun shots. This is done to shock or scare the audience. The use of pleonastic sound is needed because audiences nowadays are used to seeing guns and explosions as many films include these aspects. As a result, film industries need to be able to shock their audience and the way they go round this is by increasing the sound levels to make things more dramatic. This appeals to the audience more as they are experiencing something different which encourages more people to go and see the film.

The camera angles used in the trailer of Spectre add lots of tension and mystery. This is used by shooting in lots of over the shoulder shots where the protagonist and antagonist cannot be seen. Moreover, the camera angles of the protagonist, Daniel Craig, connote vunerability as they are shot from a high angle.

Low key lighting also links in to the vunerability of the protagonist. The use of low key lighting adds tones of mystery as you're unable to see clearly what was going on. The use of low key lighting made it unclear for the audience to identify the protagonist and the antagonist. This made the audience question who was bad and who was good. The level of low key lighting used in the trailer could connote that this film is going to have a different ending than other James Bond films. This is because most of the trailer was shot in low key lighting which could connote that the protagonist is in a lot more danger than usual. 

The kenisics used throughout the trailer are extrememly serious. This allows the audience to interpret the genre of the film and the severity that may happen throughout it. This could connote that James Bond (Daniel Craig) is in a lot more trouble and in a tougher situation than his usual adventures. As a result of this, the audience may feel more inclined to watch the film when it is initially released. This increases the box office figures.

Spectre uses mise-en-scene, sound, lighting and camera shots/angles to connote mystery which intises people to watch the film before it is released on DVD. This increases the box office figures for Spectre and allows for a bigger profit.
