Django unchained trailer analysis

At the start of the trailer, they introduce the main character suffering, in pain and not wealthy. Features that shows that he is in pain and suffering is the big terrifying scares on the back of the man's back, thick

uncomfortable, heavy chains rubbing on the Django's risk and leg, cold harsh wind and the lack of clothes. The start of the film create a bad welcome to the film which makes the audience feel sympathy. The condition that they are in which is hungry, thirsty, cold, depression and humiliation helps to makes the audience feel more sympathy.


Features that shows that he is unwealthy is the lack of clothes, hunger, thirsty, no shoes, no hygiene, no horse or other transport, no personal belongings, no healthcare and the high shot used to film the scene combine with a non diegetic sad music. The small hints and features suggest to the audience that the film is set during slavery times. This makes the audience jump to conclusion that the film is going to be about django being unwealthy and in pain. However, it was proven wrong because the next few scene, he was rescued by a white person which makes the audience question and feel fear because during that time, if a white person is killed, the murderer will be punished or killed. Right after, Django being saved, they started changing him from being poor, in pain, suffering, not wealthy to wealthy and rich. Features that shows that he is wealthy and no longer in pain or poor: The thick comfortable furry coat, leather gloves and shoes and his own horse. In addition to wealthy, there is a scene where he was in a public bar enjoying a cold tasty beer with a white man. This makes the audience feel interested to the film because slavery is twisted. Audience were expecting to see black people suffering and in pain but in this film, a black person was treated well and wealthy. The fast non diegetic pop music create a happy atmosphere and create a sense that this film is going to have some comedy scenes. The bar scene, they start introducing another character who is a white person. They introduce him as a bounty hunter, kind man, gentleman and trust worthy person. In that scene, they started to explain to the audience what is going to happen in this film. 

The next few scene, they included multiple scene of the bounty hunter and Django getting ready for an adventure mix with scenes of other black people suffering and in pain like the scene where a black girl was dragged and whipped by a white male. This makes the audience feel angry and irritated because they are seeing a woman mistreated and in pain. While in that scene, there is a over voice of the bounty hunter and Django talking about their plans and ideas which is to search and kill two bad people and save Django wife in return of helping the bounty hunter. After this few scenes, they included scenes of their travel which gives a sense that they are on a adventure. later in the trailer, they started to introduce Django wife features and face which is the scene where Django is in the hot spring with the wife. Right after Django agreeing with the plans, they started showing scenes of white people dying: scene where Django shoots an bomb which created a huge explosion, birds eye view of white male screaming in pain,white male falling off a horse and his blood spraying out onto the cotton but right after this scene, they included a white male killing white people which makes the audience question and feel surprised. The next scene of Django whipping a evil white male makes the audience feel angry and satisfying because they can see that white male that was dragging a woman, getting whipped and suffering.

Gravity trailer


First time watching this trailer, I can  say that it's a science fiction and drama film because it is base in space.

The start of the film they introduce to the audience the problem in this movie which is the scene where their explorer (spacecraft) being hit by scraps and metal and losing control. There were features that the explorer in danger. First was the constant spinning  of the aircraft losing control because of the impact of the scraps and metal pushing the aircraft the spin crazily suggest to the audience that the aircraft is unfixable. This makes the audience feel nervous and scared for the characters in the film because they don't have a spacecraft to travel back to earth. Makes the audience question how they are going back? In the same scene they also introduce two character names Dr Stone and Matt . Introducing Dr Stone first make the audience suggest that are important in this film. Dr Stone was the character that was spinning crazily and Matt was the over voice speaking to her.

The used of a tracking medium shot of her spinning make the audience feel like they are there with her. The used of a medium shot shows the audience her spacesuit. This create excitement because they can see the futuristic tools and outfit. Throughout the film a fast, non diegetic music creates tension.

 After presenting the company logo that created the movie, the other scene is about Dr Stone floating away from the spaceship and into space. She was trying to navigate where she is using the sun and the earth. This creates an effect on the audience making them feel scared and worried because the use of a tracking shot and a point of view makes the audience feel like they are there with her. It also makes them question how she is going to travel back to the ship without any transport. Before they show those scene, they had  a flicker of a point of view of the inside of a ship. This suggest to the audience that some point in the movie she would have found a spaceship. 

The next few scene is about her journey to another different ship. In this few scene they had multiple cuts and shots combine with a non diegetic soundtrack that is getting louder and louder also combine with a over voice of her talking to Matt. These few scenes, the creator showed the audience features that makes living in space impossible and dangerous.

13 hours the secret soldiers of benghazi trailer

First time watching this trailer, I can say that this film is going to be an action film because of the violence, flashing images and light cause from weapons and explosion. 

The trailer starts showing the main feature of the country losing control. One of the features is ruined, abandoned car in the city with young children playing. This suggests to the audience that the country has no money to control the waste and also no money to hire public services such as police or scrap department means that the country is unstable, unsafe and needs help from another country. Another feature that the country is losing control is that civilians are armed with lethal weapon in public areas suggesting that there is no law, no control in cities means that VIP or special operations like CIA are requested to have personal outpost and protections which means that firearms are legal in this country and also means that special forces from different countries have to be armed and ready for combat. 

The next scene is a long high shot of a special diplomatic outpost showing the audience how defended and functioning the area is then slowly moved to the American flag suggesting that this film is going to be another America film. They included a scene of the inside of the outpost showing feature of security details such as images from drones feed and a digital map of the area suggesting that this base is well defended, ready and filled with innocent people and VIP. After this scene, they moved to protection details showing the audience the protection force or quick reaction team and introducing some of the main characters (Rone, Jack, Tanto) in their black suits suggesting that they are guarding  VIP. The scene switches and moves to Tanto and the other main characters geared up in combat gear and moving fast and aggressively holding lethal weapons showing to the audience that there will be a lot of action and gun fight. The non-diegetic music that they played throughout the trailer combined with a radio voice create a sense of sad and haunting.  

The next scene is a black page with writing in the middle " In 2012, the threat level in Benghazi, Libya was deemed "critical" which suggests to the audience that the film is based on a dangerous place. This excited the audience because they can sense that there will be lots of action scenes and intense moments. The scene starts to get more exciting because the next scene is cam held the shot of jeep with two CIA in trouble because they have hostiles holding lethal weapons and pointing at them suggesting that people in the country have forming groups. The music starts to get faster and louder. 
The next scene they introduce the main characters or the security team and the outpost suggesting that this film is going to be about the security team. After that scene, they moved to a blurred scene of hostiles with lethal weapons chanting and shouting which suggesting that they are going to battle. This scene introduces the situation (the villains) which are hostiles attacking American special operation outpost. There were different features that the outpost is being attacked. There is a scene where protection force is being shot and scenes where they are hiding which suggest to the audience that the attack was so unexpected and the security force was not ready or prepare for the fight. The explosions, guns, firepower and a number of hostiles suggest to the audience that the enemy is overpowered. The scene moves to a long shot of another outpost looking at the situation from a far distance combined with an over voice from a radio saying that they need help which suggests to the audience that the security force is outnumbered and losing control of the outpost. 

The next few scene shows the audience the quick reaction force gearing up and getting ready for combat. The scene cuts and moves to a long high shot of the hostiles charging towards a fancy house which suggests to the audience that the outpost has been overrun. They also introduce the ambassador which suggest that this outpost is important.

After this, the next few scene is about the quick reaction force defending their outpost which suggesting that they are outnumbered and surrounded by hostiles. This also suggests that reinforcements are struggling to get to them.       

last but not least, they show the audience that this film is a true story which suggests the audience that this film is a biographic film.
