Explaination Of Trailers & Scope For Final Trailer

I looked at a wide range of trailers, movies and short films.  Each media form explored a different structure, composition, subject, and way of communicating decay, despair and forensic architecture.  However, evident in each media form, was a recurring emotion felt and created by the subject matter of the media.  Evoking emotions of fear, helplessness, curiosity, amazement and trepidation are created in each movie.


Such emotion is evoked through the following ways:

  • the use of contrast between the environments in a working, inhabited state, to how they lye in the decrepit, disheveled state.
  • the flashing of images showing extensive decay
  • showing images or scenes where places, objects or images are shown in a damaged and abandoned state that the viewer can relate to, including children's painting on walls, children's book, lounge rooms, community centers and etc.  This effective use of scene and image depiction is highly effective as the viewer can heavily relate to the images being shown, creating an earry, confronting and realistic impact on viewer

Other key things and techniques i gathered from these film clips include:
  • the decrepit image of a building with broken windows and curtains blowing in the wind creates a more realistic and believable image
  • voice over in the beginning of the movie sets the context and mood 
  • emotive music, perfectly timed to coincide with images and scenes shown heightens the mood and emotion
  • text inserts against a black scene also heightens the mood and emotion
  • transport is frequently used to symbolise the environment in its peak, and the symbolism of a train line depicts the period of movement into the environment
  • throughout scenes many objects have hidden meanings and representations, that make direct reference and contrast to what was, and what is. E.g. Books on the ground ripped and under rubble can have the hidden meaning of education, society, sophistication and prosperity. Meaning that the education, society, sophistication and prosperity of that environment is now ripped, ruined, and smothered by rubble.
