The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Trailer

 
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.
