Megan leavey trailer

The trailer starts off introducing the company logo that created the film (Bleecker street, LD entertainment) combine with an over nondiegetic soundtrack that makes the audience feel fear and alert.


The thumping sounds from the soundtrack create an enigma making the audience feel like there's something going to happen. They also have an over the voice of a marine wanking to Megan. The scene starts off introducing the main character in her combat gear and with other marines. This creates an excitement because the marine is holding a firearm and she was going to search for bombs. In this scene, they also show the audience the place and the setting from a point of view shot. This makes the audience feel like they are in the video alongside Megan. The scene cut frequently showing her life in the city, how she end up in the army and introducing her mother.

The scene cuts back and forward showing parts of the scene where she is searching for the bomb and when she was in the United States. The non-diegetic soundtrack continues throughout 5 scenes. The scene when the dog sits next to the bomb creates an effect on the audience. The effect is fear and nervous. This effect makes the audience feel like they are there next to the bomb. The scene cuts again and for the first time in the trailer, they talked about the dog feeding the audience information about how violent and aggressive the dog is and showing to the audience that this dog is special. The trailer included an example of how dangerous the dog is by showing the part parts of the film. The first example is where the dog attacks the marine and the part where the dog barks at Megan. The scene changes and became more interesting to the audience because the next scene started showing hints of an attack. The scene was the part where a car was driving towards the marines at a fast speed and not stopping. The marines were in their action formation waiting for the right time to shoot. This scene started to create a lot of enigma codes of wanting to know if the car is going to stop or going to run over the car. After that scene, they introduce the next side character. 

The scene cuts and show the continued scene of the mysterious car approach. They filmed the scene in multiple shot combine with a thumping sound that makes the audience feel nervous and scared. An explosion happen covering Megan and the dog making the audience think that they are dead. But the next scene showed was Megan in the hospital which now makes the audience think that the dog is dead because Megan was asking for the dog. The non-diegetic sound changes to a music called “Walk through the fire" by Zayde Wolf and Ruelle combine with a scene where she went back to see her mother.
