Music
First to be noted is the fact that the music is parallel following in tune with the action going on in within the film world. At certain points also, it is clear to see that the music is actual synchronisation with a punch or a elbow focus on the actual impact. By doing this it enables the audience to feel engaged more as they get into the film. This is effective as instead of dialogue, music can make certain points in a trailer stand out. For example, a punch could be outlined by louder music. The music they appears to change into contrapuntal music as it creates meaning in the trailer. The music is more dramatic to effect the audiences emotional state more and try and make them engage more with the audience. It could be suggestive that this music symbolises a change in the film or a main feature to come in the film, therefore always leaving the audience asking more and more questions.


Camera Shots
Unlike 'Hitman' the camera shots at the beginning of this trailer are very short and edited to a very fast past to build up suspense and that action kind of mood. Many people believe fast paced editing is key to an action film as it reflects what is going on in the scene. Most of the shots are mid-shots as they capture the essence of the action going on in the trailer. By allowing the audience to see this, it entices them more into wanting to watch it. Furthermore, when the music changes, so does the shots. Some of them come to close ups and mid-close ups to shot the emotions on the characters to again give hints to certain parts in the trailer. In my trailer, if were to differ between different camera shots and angles, it may gain me more marks and give me a better understanding of camera shots and their effects on the audience.


Text/Dialogue
The text used in this is also reflective of the action going on in the trailer. It is bold and stands out and is simply there to stand out as well as to be read. It flows well with the music and dominates the screen when put there. If text is to be used then is should be used for a purpose. It may be to ask the audience questions or give them knowledge of certain parts in the trailer. I am unsure whether or not to use text as I may not have access to programs to make text as good as this however I shall see when my my trailer is coming into its final stages.
