POST PRODUCTION - Research - Trailers - Inception

  1. Good start and very good use of the blue borders to help draw ones attention to individual shots. However you are not fully analysing the role of the editing style and what effect it has on the viewer?

    You have stated; ‘This is a shot which comes in during the first 10 seconds of the trailer'.

    What shot is this?

    What is the action sequence with the fast cuts doing for the film?

    What sort of meaning are they aiming to achieve?

    Look at these four pictures, think of the mise-en-scene!

    What about the lighting and colour, what effect does this have on the target audience? What is happening in these frames?

    What is the non-diegetic music with the four shots and how is it employed to help synchronisation?

    Watch the ‘Mission Impossible' trailer again and analyse; both the style and speed of editing.

    E.g.:

    (Style) What use is made of straight cuts?

    (Speed) What time duration do taglines occupy? What are their roles? Why are they used with filmic narrative?

    Apart from that, there is a lot more to analyse; editing, mise-en-scene (setting & props, costume) lighting & colour (high-key, top lighting), sound, and the use of the camera
    (Both framing and movement)

    What fonts are uses for the taglines and intertitles? Can fonts represent a genre?

    What are the effects of lighting? What are the connotations of colour?

    I want you to fully analyse both ‘Mission Impossible’ and ‘Inception’ trailer's again, to show a greater understanding of how meanings are created within the chosen genre.

    How are institutions represented and why?

    Remember your film terminology like: technical codes, audio codes, etc., etc.
