I listened to the trailer without sound to emphasise the
images. The audience can see the film is a thriller/horror from the trailer
because of the fast cuts, creating tension and suspense. The dark, gloomy
lighting creates a scary, eerie atmosphere. There are shots of fighting and
violence showing it is a horror as there are graphic, violent scenes. Shots of
hacking on a computer and tracking a man's face, suggests a spy element to the
film as the main character creeps around in black clothing looking suspicious
like she is stalking someone; typical of a thriller. The thriller/horror genre
is reinforced from disturbing photos of murdered people who look like they have
been tortured and shots of people in distress
and pain who have been abducted. There is also a tracking shot that reveals a
dead body covered in blood which is disturbing and uncomfortable to see; this suggests
this is a graphic, violent and dark thriller. The woman gets the most camera
time showing she is the main character, her role subverts the typical female
role in a thriller which is often the damson in distress however this woman is
the heroine and represented as powerful and
in control. The colours in the trailer consist mainly of black as it creates a mysterious
atmosphere to the thriller trailer. There are also some warm colours such as
orange and red suggesting danger and death.
