2. In the first few shots of this
trailer there are many quick
montage shots with a change
of setting and colour this is to
confuse the audience this
makes them automatically
feel the disorientated and
paranoia that the characters
feel through out the film. It
also sets the scene for the
film which shows the
audience its will mostly
involve an airport and a plane
3. This shot shows the first confrontation between the
antagonist and the protagonist it shows the protagonist
smiling and unaware of the danger that she is in but the
antagonist is shown in a cool and calm collected way to
emphasise that during the film he will mostly be in control of
the situation.
4. This shot shows how the protagonist is trapped and confined
by both the setting and the antagonist because she is stuck in
between him and the plane, there is also the fact that they are
on a plane for an extended period of time 30,000 feet in the air
meaning that there is no quick escape from the situation and
will therefore have to rely on her wit against his in the situation
even though she is clearly disadvantaged. The film has
subverted from the stereotype by having the protagonist be a
woman who are stereotypically perceived as weak, however in
the current situation she is weaker than the antagonist.
5. There is a quick shot-cutting
sequence that is preceded
by a motion blur flash that
creates further
disorientation because of
the sheer speed that the
shots are shown at makes
the audience unsure as to
their surrounding. The
whole idea behind the
sequence is to show how
the protagonist has
absolutely no control in the
situation currently and how
confused she is.
6. At the end of the trailer there
is a montage of quick shots of
action this is to leave the
audience with a taste of action
so that this is the last from the
trailer that will see and
therefore stick in there head
the most enticing them to
watch the film. The shots are
so fast that it emphasises the
quick pace of the action
making it exciting whilst not
giving away to much of the
plot. The shots often cut back
and forth from the antagonist
to the protagonist in order to
show the conflict that is
between them.
