In class we watch several thriller film trailers, eg Arlington Road and Dead Calm. I have chosen to talk about my favourite and the one that seems the most interesting, Seven.
Analysis:
In the clip, the use of camera is very rough and unstable and is probably film hand-held. We can immediatly tell it's a Spy Thriller as theres alot to do with violence, crime, detective and images like putting words together and building up and image gives us a sense of spies and policework, trying to find a criminal. The mise en scene of the clip I found quite hard to observe as the editing was so fast pace and jumpy. The location seemed to be some sort of private detective looking office/room filled with vital spy tools and equipment. The blades, dirty hands and nails, suspicious unclear note writing and strands of hair add to the confusion and already creates tension and suspense due to our uncertainty of whats going on.
The titles and text are written in red and white in a sharp and ridgy way. It doesn't stay still on the screen which I thought was interesting, instead it shakes about and looks quite distaugted.
I really liked this trailer and thought it gave an excellent sense of suspense, with no dialogue.
