trailer analysis hateful eight

The first thing we see is a few establishing shots of a snow covered land and this tells the audience that this landscape could be a factor in the film. We then see many different shots of a man walking up to a house and the another man falling to the floor this shows that this is an action scene as this is violence. we then see a montage of many different action backed shots which then lead to a close up of a character to show that he is a main character and that he is a joking character is he is laughing. we then see many different shots of all the characters in the film therefore this establishes the films characters without revealing the plot. when we see the montage of the characters we also see their nick names this is good editing as it shows the characters in a different light. the music in this trailer begins slow but builds to the end title this builds tension and shows the audience that the film will be very action based. We also hear a voice over for the start of the trailer this is a device used to help establish a characters mood or to help tell a story. this film advertises itself by saying how it is filmed in 70mm technology and it also uses its release date of Christmas as a way to advertise as it takes a christmas phrase and changes it for the films plot. From this trailer we cant tell much from the plot but we can tell that it is a small cast film.
