trailer analysis

The first shots we see are of massive landscapes which show us that this world is vast. We can tell this film is a fantasy because of the next establishing shot of a castle which doesn't look human built also we see a giant bird bigger than any real bird this shows that the film plays on the fantasy element a lot. we then see many establishing shots and a mid shot of a through the use of a mid-shot we can see this characters emotion is really worried and scared. We then see some Birdseye view shots of a destroyed town this shows us the magnitude of the attack then we see a montage of clips of monsters killing soldiers and another character seeing the death these monsters leave behind this creates a feeling of worry and the need to pick sides as they don't want to see the humans continue to be killed by these monsters. the shots that are very interesting are the medium shots of a character but in the foreground there is a dead solder's helmet therefore this shows us that this means a lot to the story. what is an interesting editing point is the choice of where to change the narrative, we see the monsters destroying and killing people then we see their side of the story which helps the audience to empathise with these characters therefore showing that they may not be the bad guys in the film. this then creates conflict in the audience as they will now want to know who's side they should be on. We then see a montage of shots of many different characters talking and we see a different side to the human characters therefore maybe creating even more conflict in the audience. This is juxtaposed  with many different action scenes this is a good editing choice as it shows that even though we have characters trying to avoid violence there still is violence. the target audience for this film is the age group between 13-21 this is obvious in the trailer as there is a lot of action which interests the younger audience of the bracket and more complex themes to interest the older bracket of the audience. The music in this trailer starts of slow and peaceful therefore showing the peace of the time but as it continues it gets more tense showing that something big is on its way and it ends with a faced paced action theme creating a feeling of excitement in the audience. what is said in the trailer is based around the war which seems to be coming and how some characters will do anything to avoid this war. The film is advertised at the end by showing a vague release date on June 2016 it also has a website which people can visit. Overall this film does tell a bit about the story but still leaves enigma codes in, for example is there a love interest between two characters is there a divide on both sides within the two groups.
