The Departed Trailer


A close up of a gun is used; this indicates that there is crime within the film, which is a convention of thrillers. It indicates to the audience that the film will be full of tension and crime.


Fast paced editing is used at the start of the trailer when the police are being shown. This contrasts the crime throughout as it shows that the police are taking control over the situation. However it also indicates that there could be corrupt cops within the film.


Dialogue of a character stating ‘this is who we are after’ is paired with a close up of the person’s mug shots. This indicates to the audience that the plot will be about trying to hunt the man down. This will engage them as they wish to know what he is done wrong, and if he is caught in the end.


The title of this film is within a gun. This again is a typical prop of thrillers as it indicates crime to the audience. It also foreshadows that the film will include lots of gun fights/scenes.


Happy and classical music is used in this trailer. This contrasts the action taking place and creates an sinister feeling.
