Year Released: 2013
Genre: Action
The trailer starts as a slow montage of movie highlights which slowly sped up.
A clever aspect of the trailer was that the music increased its pace to match the pacing of the montage and is the main technique used to build tension. I liked the way the percussion matched the movement of the weapons and the whipping shot. The trailer also uses a small amount of body horror during this sot which adds to the dramatic tone. Another positive aspect was that although the trailer uses a huge amount of dialogue the focus of the dialogue switched several times between dramatic scenes and humorous moments.
The one aspect of the trailer that I did not enjoy was that although the tension built throughout the trailer there was no collision cutting to actually startle the viewer.
I decided to give the trailer a 6/10 as I found it enjoyable but they could have shown more film conventions as the dialogue can get a little monotonous.
