Sin City Trailer

The film trailer is in black and white however certain objects and people are full of a single vibrant colour. The black and white effect leans mostly towards the black side giving the trailer an extremely austere and dark atmosphere.

Almost every sequence is full of action and a rushed kind of chaos. The speed of the trailer makes it difficult to distinguish what is going on and who is who however this is not a bad thing as it gives the idea that the film is going to be full of surprises.
Special effects are used in the form of explosions and impossible stunts to sell the movies high quality, also we are bombarded with an all star casting list giving the movie the edge of having so many famous faces to its name.

The trailers music is used very professionally to enhance the shots with tense silences used to amply specific sounds and the loudest parts of the song used at the pivotal moments during the trailer. The music gradually increases in volume towards the end until it eventually stops and we’re left with the sounds of thunder and rain to draw the trailer to a close.

The shots used are full of clues that this is most likely aimed at a mature male audience between sixteen and thirty. We can see this it is full of such things as women, guns, explosions, weapons and action. The trailer uses these shots along with the cast and strange darkness to increase the audiences’ expectations of the film; furthermore this is done very well due to the high standard of filming and austere sequences. The camera shots pan to follow cars and focuses in on the key characters who presented in colour to enhance their importance.
