My Genre 2 - The Final Destination

Camera Shots/Angles;

The camera shots in this trailer of 'The Final Destination' all appear to be close-ups or mid-shots and because of this it catches the viewers attention straight away which enables them to engage into the trailer. The first clip has a panning shot of the bottom of the ladder to the top of the ladder to show how high this ladder is, and where it is going towards (The Skull). Also the camera appears to use a lot of zoom in and zoom out's which gets the viewer more involved. Another reason they do this is because they want us to have a closer look in detail about what is happening. Similiary, at the gory parts of the trailer the camera goes into slow motion and the director has done this to show more gore and to show us what the film will be about. The final shot I really enjoyed is towards the end when the camera pans round the spine of a human and it turns into a roller-coaster, and this is clever because it is showing the viewers that a roller-coaster will be involved at one point in this movie.

Editing

Some of the editing in this trailer is really impressive because it makes the overall look of the trailer fantastic. One of these impressive editing techniques is the paranormal like colouring throughout the film, because it gives it that creepy effect. Another editing technique is when an explosion goes of and from out of nowhere, this huge puff of red, orange and yellow explosion comes out and takes over the whole scene which may give the viewers a shock if they are fully engaged in the trailer/film. On the other hand, speeding up a clip has came across very effectively when the camera is looking panning around the spine slowly, which then turns into a roller-coaster and this is when it speeds up because people associate roller-coasters with being very fast. So by doing this, they are relating objects to real life situations.

Sound

The sound is a very hardcore tune with a loud bass normally used for rocking out. But the music goes very nicely with the trailer. I know this because the clips of braking bones, explosions, collision can associate with hardcore music. The fact that hardcore heavy metal is a load of loud and outrageous sounds relates to outrages deaths and out of control situations. There is also a sound bridge half way through the trailer where the music seems to settle a little bit while it is establishing a new scenery (Or New Body Part). Also there are non-diagetic sounds like the sound of a bus and a train coming towards us and this reinforces that you can't get lost in the music because there are still everyday objects around you.

Mise-En Scene

The over-all look is important in every film or trailer because it is what the viewers see in there TV or cinema screen. For example if what you saw was not very good, you would be put off and would not want to watch anymore. Luckerly, this trailer has a lot of good overall looks such as the shot where the man's head get cut in half and there is a distribution of blood all over the place with some text on the right-hand side. Most of the pictures are of bones breaking which suggests the film isn't very pleasant and would not but suitable for the light headed.

In conclusion to this trailer, I would defiantly buy a ticket to watch this as the overall appearance seems very exciting and mind-blowing. The gory scenes attract me most which means the Mise-En Scene is well thought of.
