Dead Rising - trailer analysis
Conventionally the trailer begins with the
production company at the beginning. The trailer begins with news report is
being filmed and in that, narrating the story and providing the audiences with
background information to the zombie take over. The audience are presented with
the narrative but then get to see it through also, in which immediately is
shown in the trailer where the zombies begin to break out making it in your
face and up front.
The trailer is spilt into two parts almost
one where the audience can see what is happening in real life, long and short
camera shots of zombies climbing up and down and then on the other hand you
have the commentary by the news reporters in the studio. There is a voice over
in this trailer- the news reporter saying all the things the audiences are
possibly thinking. This is quite a different trailer as the music and plot is
based on a video game and therefore has the heightened element of intensified
violence.
The trailer has key scenes in which may be
important in the film, the graphic movement and imagery of the zombies is shown
throughout the trailer. The trailer has highlighted its main parts and given a
short yet detailed summary of the plots using both audio and visual elements.
In this trailer the audio used is speech, sound effects and music which go hand
in hand with the gaming side to the film.
