1DAY TEASER 001

1day Teaser Trailer
How has each trailer been constructed visually? (Use all available terminology - refer specifically to the camerawork, editing and even the text on screen - what information is used to sell the film?)
The first thing the viewer sees are the words vertigo films in bright orange and with a black background the sound in the background of this is gunshots this sets the scene straight away. We then see a bird’s eye view of motorways and then an establishing shot of the city this lets the audience know that the film is set in an urban area. We then get a close up of a black teenager driving a car. We then get a close up that changes to a long shot showing a gang of lads walking aggressively towards the camera, doing hand gestures and wearing balaclavas across their faces. The audience think at the beginning that the sound is non diegetic but then we see one of the characters rapping directly towards the camera this makes the audience feel slightly uneasy. The words ‘1city’ then appear in the same font as ‘vertigo films’ did at the beginning keeping it consistent. We then see fast shots of the two gangs, we know there are two gangs due to one being in orange and the other being in purple. One of the characters has a prop of a gun showing their is violence involved in the film. The words ‘2 crews’ then appears giving the audience more of an idea about what the film is about. A two shot then appears of one lad strangling another showing more violence. Then the clips move faster fading between each shot to the next. Until the words ’24 hours’ appear. We also see girls in the gang acting in a masculine way. There are occasionally flashes of light throughout the trailer making the clips seem more dramatic. The trailer ends with a man shooting a gun directly towards the audience. Then the name of the film appears and the date it comes in the cinema. The music in the background is aggressive rapping this also helps to set the genre.
