The trailer opens with a mid shot of the main character and all through the trailer we see lots of close ups of the main character and the supporting cast the shots are mostly close ups or mid-shot as a way to show the characters emotions. the pace of the trailer starts of slow as a way to show the danger that the main characters son is in and it help to build tension towards the relationships between the characters. the pace increases as the trailer goes on as the genre seems to change from a dramatic thriller to a action thriller as we see gun shots,chases and lots of pans across the landscapes. The narrative is a man who has been successful in life and his life is going well and this is completely flipped when his son is kidnapped and this then brings out an aggressive and dangerous side as he promises to kill the man who has kidnapped his son. One of main things which is said in the trailer which really shows the tone of the film as he threatens the kidnapper on national television this shows the darkness of the main character. We can also see the emotion from Renee Russo as she gets angry with the FBI agents. We are not shown much of the location as it is only hinted at with NYCPD on some of the police cars. We can also see how guns will play a big part in the film as there is a lot of guns used in the trailer. In the beginning we see Mel Gibson's character as a suppressed scared man but as the trailer continues we see the evolution as he turns into a strong threatening character.
