When there is humour there usually is a close up in the character that you focus on the humour of that character so that you don’t look about in the scene at the other characters so you know that something is going to happen.
The action aspect of the film is covered either by the camera runny after the characters or the characters runny towards the camera. This allows the filmmakers to demonstrate the tension in the film. And how the characters are feeling this also keeps you on top of what the characters are doing it also creates suspense for the next part of the trailer.
In the film trailer of the Tomb raider the makers also so implies adventure, as the main character is very daring and goes to the ultimate limits of a human there has to be a lot of adventure.
Lara Croft who is the main character is very courageous. So the film is set around her and is mostly focused upon her. The lighting is used to indicate Lara’s presence. There are holes in the roof of the scene and the light shines down on Lara on specific parts of the stage.
Lara’s image is silhouetted to show her distant appearance. This silhouette figure shows her skill, as she is quick at moving. Shadows are like images of the past this is something the makers of the trailer needed to put in as this reflects the background of her character.
Lara is a heron; she is the person who is going to save the world in this film. So the dialogue reflects this her strength in it self. She is strong woman. So the camera is mostly directed towards Lara. When there is a scene were she is talking to an other character she is not in the same frame, when she is talking the camera is only on her and when the other characters are talking it switches to them to show her independence.
As tomb raider is an action movie there is a lot of fighting and there is a lot of weapons used to show that she is a trained and skilled person.
In the begging of the trailer there is a mystical atmosphere. To show caves and that there are valued artefacts around. There is not a huge amount of lighting used, as the film is mostly dark. To suggest ?
The film is futuristic and different technique in filmmaking is used to suggest this such as music and sounds are computer technology is echoed in the back. There are ticks of a clock this indicates that there is something in the film to do with a clock. There is techno music, as Lara uses a far amount of small gadgets to help her. This also gives you an idea about the futuristic sense that is implied.
In the mummy return’s trailer in the begging has a strong beat that progressives to suggest that there is war that battle is going to commence, it also suggests marching the beat goes with the inline meant of the men. This also builds tension and excitement for the rest of the trailer.
There are load bang at the same time of the jump cuts to make you aware of the change. It also keeps you interested and aware of what is happening. It keeps you engaged with the scene. The trailer opens with drums gradually followed by authentic music almost like an engine to show the build up.
There is sword fight the slashes are harsh shows that like the term no mercy that people life’s are at risk. There is punching noises to imply armoury, which implies violence, which creates fear.
Tomb Raider’s lighting is scarce to convey the underground feeling of caves, and of tombs. There are small holes in the walls that let sunlight in this has an historical effect.
The mummy returns has a contrast between the outside daylight and the inside darkness lit by fine torches. The outside has a strong impact of the sunlight. The sunlight shows the strength of the army. The darkness and the torches show the light, which adds up tension and has an eerie ancient Egyptian effect, the idea of the past. There are flashes of strobe lighting, which suggest shock surprise.
The credits that are presented the tare presented in the mummy returns are universal and the writing style is gold rock with sunlight coming from behind the writing. The directors names are shown
