Seven trailer analysis

the trailer begins whith an over the shoulder, mid shot of Brad Pitt looking slightly hurt but completely serious the use of the over the shoulder shot creates a feeling of curiosity as the audience wants to know who Brad Pit's character is talking too. This is a theme throughout the trailer the use of mid shots help to both set the scene and help to show the characters emotions, the use of close ups is also key in this trailer as it shows the emotion of the character therefore creating a thought in the audiences' mind of worry for the characters and intrigue as they want to know why it is happening. The trailer uses a lot of fast paced editing with quick shots used in a very quick montage to show things which may be key to the plot line. The music is very tense and if something is said or something needs to be seen then the music either amps up or it gets more fast paced, there are three voiceover in this trailer one helping to explain the story line and the other two is a conversation betwee. The two main characters this shows that these characters are key to the storyline. This film plays on the to star characters of Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt as this is a good way to advertise the film because people will go see this film because they are in it, another theme which is used to advertise the film is the use of face paced shots to make it seem that this film is almost a complete action film. What we learn from the trailer is the the two title characters are both at the opposite ends of their detective careers and then they have one murder case which needs both of them to solve it, what is also shown in the trailer is that the murder are all based around the seven deadly sins, this creates a feeling in the audience of how are the other five murders/sins going to be shown as we do see two of the murder/sins. This film is targeted at 18-35 year olds as it deals with mature themes but is also a crime thriller which means there will be lots of action.
