A2 ADVANCED PORTFOLIO

A certificate is used in the beginning, allowing the audience to know that this is an American film 

The first shot in this trailer is an establishing shot. This was used for the audience to first see the setting. In the shot, you are able to see there is a lot of traffic, indicating something unusual is going on close by. A group shot was used in the first scene to introduce the protagonist (Brad Pitt) and his family. The reason why Brad Pitt's character is the first to be seen in the trailer is that he is well known in the acting industry, and has thousands of fans around the world who are going to watch this film because of him. In this group shot the audience can see the family having a casual conversation. This allows them to be aware of how this is an ordinary day.

The mood begins to change, starting from a panning shot of a man on motor bike knocking off the protagonist wing mirror and not taking notice. This shot instantly takes the focus to the front of the traffic because that is where the man was riding to. The fact that the man didn’t take notice to breaking someone’s wing mirror connotes that he is focusing on something ahead of him which is much more important to him.

Sound FX of crashing and explosions that were synchronized with the visually image, were used to shock the audience. I believe this was the beginning of the plot.
