Batman The Dark Night Trailer
The
trailer starts with an aerial shot of bat man and the city to set the mood of a
dark city, the dark night. Batman is standing on the edge of the building, this
could mean that he is on the edge of weather to help or leave, giving the
audience a question of whether he will be the hero or stand back.
The
logo of the production company then comes up, warner brothers. But the logo has
been changed to fit the theme of the film and had clouds and a dark night
behind the logo can be seen.
We
then are shown batman jumping into the city and into the dark night from above.
This show us that he is on top and therefore under control of what is happening
and is going to jump into the drama and action of what will happen in the film.
The trailer then
takes the audience to a dramatic line taken from the film said by the joker ‘year ago any of these cops and
lawyers wouldn’t darecorss any of you I mean what happened?’ ‘its simple. Kill
the batman.’ As this comes so early in tne trailer it gives a drematic twist
into what may happen in this film and what batman will have to face. This then
sets the mood for the trest of the trailer. At this point the trailer tunrs
from a blue cold and calm colour to a yellow/orange tint. Drematicing the
action and giving the shaddow of fire thropuigh out adding the feel of action
and explosions everywhere.
the next shot is of lots of people in suits, this gives
the impression of importance due to the tall buisness like buildings, running
away from something. This has scereaming and the jokers laugh over the top
which could insinuate that they are running from the joker, but also leaves
them wonding if they are running from batman. This is a rule for trailers to
not give away to much of the plot and posing questions for the audience that
they will want to answer so therefore watch the movie to find out.
The drematic cut to the explosion then reveals the
action in the film, showing the auidience clearly whyat the genre of the film
is. All of these shots are all done in 48 secconds.from this I can see how fast
the cuts have to be and how much the trailer gives away about the film in a
short period of time.
We then see bat man on his bat bike which is a defining
feature of the movies and is the first thing we see that shows batman as batman
in action.
The screen then turns black. And has a voiceover taken
from the films narative and turned into a story telling line. this keeps the
voices recogisable and more drematic as the audience will recoginse who is
saying the line and relate this to the charicter. This is another good way of
given some of the plot to the audince awithout thenm being able to make too much
sence of it and therefore wanting to see the film.
We the see a series of shots from the film that
continuously show action and imposteant individual plots from the film, some of
these are love, action, the joker, and batman himself. We see the joker with a
gun to show that he is the one that wants batman dead, the audience can see
that he isshottin out of control and therefore may kill others in the piorcess,
but he doesn’t care as his goal is to kill batman, this could klead the audnce
to wonder why he wants to kill batman so much.
We also see the joker thretening tne girl envolved in
the film, this takes different approach
to the audince as it accosiated love to the film, which is primarlay an action
film. Which inturn could draw another kind of audience tio the film.
The final line beofre the film title if shown is a man
of whome we are not told his name says ‘ you either die a hero, or live lonmg
enough to see yourself become the villan.’ This leaves sthe audience with a
laqst questuion, levaing them wanting to know is batman stays the hero, or
beomes a villan. This could relate to many tyoes of villan including a villan
to the city, to the joker or to himslelf.
Finally the films title the dark night appears. This is
on a black background, with blue wrighting. And the batman logo outline slowly
apppears behind this and then leaves just the batman logo. Almost every trailer
shows the logo at the end as that is what the audience will remember most. The
logo is impostant as it defins the movie and can show a lot abouit the tyoe of
movie it is. The logo for our trailer thereofre should be well made and reflect
the film well as it will be used on posters, websites and the tralier.
Something I have noticed a lot, inclusing this trailer,
is that as the end of the traler after the title comes up a small scene will
play, normally bringing humour to the end. This leaves a finished feel to
thebtrailer and also leaves the audience with somehitn to remember as it will
be the last thing they see. It is important to make syure the trailer jhas a
consistant level of action or interesting scenes from a film as the whole thing
ahs toconstanly keep intising the audience so that they go and see the film.
