I have analyzed the trailer of a thriller movie "Phone booth". The movie is about a man who thinks that he has his life all under control, he has lived his life through lies.
Then one day he get an unexpected call from a phone booth, the man on the other side of the line is a sniper, who seems to know everything about him and the crimes he's committed. He threatens to take his life unless he confesses to the lies he has done, his most problematic situation is when his wife is at the scene and also the women who he cheated with. He is forced to publicly confess in front of all the spectators and camera men around.
It works because it shows a lot of tense moments in the movie. As it starts it uses titles to give us information about the scene with a lot of variation of shots setting the scene. For our sequence we could this same technique having the camera panning around showing the scene and situation the character is in.
At the end of the trailer it gives us the names of directors, producers etc. which are shown below:
Music composed my- Harry Gregson-Williams
Costume designer- Daniel Orlandi
Film editor- Mark Stevens
Production designer- Andrew Laws
Director of photography- Matthew Labatique
This is very vague, Qasim - there is description and precious little analysis. You need to assess how this does what opening sequences do - set up character , plot etc. what devices does it use? If you want to use it to explore titles - this section needs to be longer and the title of the post needs to reflect both functions or you could put title analysis in a separate post.
