vantage point, action thriller, same genre and some ideas as our film evaluated.

Vantage point
Trailer
Action/thriller

Codes and conventions

The film trailer starts with an establishing wide shot which sets the scene for the film and mood of the film.there is a straight cut between each scene and goes to a longshot of the importanat figure arriving at the speech location. the lighting used here is mainly key and filler lighting to show the bright city and the presidant arriving. There is straight cuts between two scenes which show snipers on the roof tops which highlights the high security and risk of the presidant talking about terriorist organisations. The presidant then takes to the stage and gives a speech to lots of people there is lots of diagetic sounds including the sound of the crowd and some non diagetic sounds with a voice over telling us of what the presidant is talking about.. Also the lighting in this scene is key and filling a the filler ligh adds a darker coulor ot the scene showing the dark mood. there is a longshot of the presidant and then straight cuts to other characters which show there view point of the assination. the director uses close ups of the 7 characters to give the viewer detail visual descriptions so they know all the characters and there points of view.Through the build-up of tension and the use of big name actors it is the thriller genre at its best especially with the well timed calm and then chaotic moments of the trailer.
