Review of The Trailer 

 

The trailer starts off with a vibrant and soft start in which we see awoman and a man dancing we see these charcters as love intrests and that they will play a vital role in the film. We then see a man who dressed very formally ordering someone around so we relate him with a leadership front. We notice that he is sitting very relaxed which we relate to an over confidence of him. The next clip we see is a man looking through some blinds the audience see this man as someone who is scared and waiting for something bad to happen to him . The music now intensifies . We see a bag being taken off someone head which shows that he is being held captive we then see a gun shot. This is effective because it leaves the audience wanting more and wanting to see who has been shot.

 

We then see a man being threatened and then there is a drak figure we associate this man with danger and link him into the threatning of the man.We then see alot of men arguing and a dead body we relate the men arguing and the dead body to each other. Two dark figures appear we once again associate them to the other dark figure who is dangerous and destructive. Then we go back to the melow start of the wedding and that makes us fully understand that that scene will play a key role .

 

Another angry figure appears and the audience are led to believe that this man will play a key role in the wedding and because of the lighting around him we believe he is a bad character. We then see a few characters who look very upset and we know they are in trouble with the gang . Once again this is very effective as it gets the audience asking the question why are these men upset ? and what has caused it ? . This is good because this get the audience asking questions which gets them involved. There is a tense ending to the film.
