Media Awards Production Analysis

Silencer:

In my opinion, the movie trailer ‘’Silenced’’ was one of the most effective productions. Firstly, the various range of video editing was spectacular which made it more exciting and thrilling. In addition to the video editing, the camera work added to the tension of the trailer it was based as a horror film. For example, there was a clip where the villain was shown from a first person perspective, in a horror film they usually show the evil person from first person to add suspense and to create a ‘mysterious’ image. The lighting throughout the trailer is generally dark. This is due to the genre of the film and to give an idea to the audience. Moreover, after each clip in the trailer, cut is constantly used to instantly show a different scene and make it more thrilling.Diegetic sound is also used for example when the girl is running away and you can hear her shouting and her footsteps. The non diegetic sound is the background music which added to the tension of the trailer.

The Essex fairytale:

This production had various techniques which made the overall trailer a success. Their main technique was the use of a narrator; this technique really grabs the audiences’ attention both visually and by audio. The first camera shot was the main character with a mid-shot range to include the surroundings of the character. The entire trailer was in black and white which gave the trailer a classic effect and goes well with a gangster movie as it is presented like a classic gangster movie from the 1960s. During the trailer there was use of props; mainly the gun which linked to the genre being a U.K gangster film. The clothing of the main character was well dressed in a suit which links back to the genre as well. The directors decided to use disequilibrium in the beginning; which was great to grab the attention of the audience. The trailer contained non-diegetic sounds for example the narrator and the theme track being played at the background.
