Deconstructions - Main Task 1

(Trailer)

The Purge trailer provided inspiration for our own trailer as it holds similar genre conventions we wish to use also.

The trailer begins with footage of peaceful existence of families within this tale. They shows a family taking a walk during the sunset, another happily eating around a table and a pleasant neighborhood/gates community the movie will be set in.
This provides a false sense of safety for the audience, a calm before the storm. We wish to use this in our trailer also and the change the trailer suddenly takes in the middle.
As the trailer reaches it's midpoint, the current blissful music follows on into flashing of brutal CCTV footage of the actions that take place during the purge. The non-diegetic mood music is suddenly incorporated with diegetic noise from the footage, gunshots and bats connecting with others. They non-diegetic music that provided a peaceful calm to the audience is now replaced with more sinister music providing a pedestal to this horror trailer.
The trailer jumps to CCTV footage then back inside this large luxurious house with the stories main family. This builds up tension as it shows what is going on outside this home and foreshadows how it will soon come indoors.
Between each cut there's a face to black, this happens every few seconds and provides almost a heartbeat sort of pulse to the trailer. During some of these fades to black there's messages that show slight snippets of what the movie is about. Providing the audience member with information and makes them excited.
The Mise-en-scene used within the trailer is very effective as it projects a modern day presents setting.
