Trailer analysis: Hitman

This trailer starts off with a non-digetic sound of violins giving off a dramatic atmosphere. We are then introduced to several title slides. First shot in this trailer is a medium shot of the main protagonist. I say this is the main protagonist because he is the first person we see in this trailer. You only get to see the back of him holding two guns and a tattoo on the back of his head. Because the shot is from behind it makes it seem secretive or shall I say a hidden identity because you cant see the persons face. The sounds of the violins then stop another title slide fades in and you get a new non-digetic sound of bass to give off something is going to happen. I say this because as the close up shot of the main protagonist fast fades as it goes closer to his face and as he looks up towards the camera, the bass gets louder. This teaser trailer has no narrative, voice over or talking as they let the title slides tell the story. Me and Kiyan really like the way the character is quiet and secretive and hopefully we can portray this in our film. We also like the title slides, even though they take up a lot of the trailer time, not much is shown in this trailer to keep the audience wanting to see more. Trailers me and Kiyan have watched such as, The Bourne Legacy use title slides instead of a lot of narrative or voice overs. Me and Kiyan are seeing a convention of title slides and really considering using them to tell our story in out teaser.
