The Silence Of the Lambs Trailer

Throughout this Trailer we witness a fast flash of a face which only lasts a second however its so quick we can't make out who it is this makes it more tense to watch. However we can tell its not a protagonist. We then go into slow past so we can see the story been told to us. This helps the audience see the action and therefore aren't put off because its going to fast and its all confusion. From this fast and slow pace happening to quickly it does make it all very dramatic and makes us focus on the characters. As the first important character we see is the women which we get the sense of her being a reporter.

Throughout this trailer we see lots of miss en scene, such as: the props, the locations, Costumes and lighting. We can see the lighting is very dark which creates a unsafe sense to this whole trailer and gives us the feeling that it is a thriller. We see this lighting is mainly over the main character which is the guy in the jail. He has dark lighting over him to tell us he is evil. We also see the location of the jail and it is the only location we really see apart from the police station. When we are taken down towards the antagonist we see the slow pace and also highlighting the colours and lighting being used to warn us and the reporter.

We then come to Costume's and we can see the reporter is not dressed as a stereotypical clothing, as she has long trousers and also has a purple jumper with a white top under this. This shows that she is a important character and she is challenging the stereotypical events of a women. We also see The police officers wearing police uniform which makes it more believable for the audience.  We then see The antagonist wearing a dark worn away blue jumpsuit, which is normally what criminals wear. With this wore away colour we can think that he has been in there for a long time. 

The sound within this trailer varies a lot because of the fast pace and slow pace. We see that right at the start with the flashes of the face we hear very high pitched tense music which will put the audience on the edge of there seat. However we also always hear the same background music under every scene because this makes it flow and also shows us its a trailer. However we do have some sounds exaggerated over the top to make it highlighted. Unfortunately for a trailer the credits don't stand out at all, as we see a plain black background with red and white writing. I feel this doesn't show us its a thriller as its not in the style of a thriller.
