Assignment 3 - Film trailer analysis

Genre- The genre of the Dark Knight rises is an action drama as it continously jumps between continuous gripping fast action shots and it also tells a story. The genre is communicated to the audience by the fast impactful editing, to show conflict or suspense between each shot, and snippets of dialogue to show what the movie is based on

Miss en scene The setting in this movie is quite isolated, dark and gloomy, as it is a town filled with millions of vigilantes, therefore giving a vibe of un-wantedness and un-safty. Moreover the filter put on the whole trailer puts a lot of emphasis on the darker colours to show the significance of the death and untrustworthy behaviour between the characters. The costumes used in this trailer are conceded and covered when it comes to the hero as no one knows who he is and he bring justice without being seen, whereas the villains are more open to brag about their strength and power. The NCV in this trailer is done very well as without a lot of communication we can distinguish the the hero is coming back because of the dialogue, however we can also tell who the villain is because of the low shot used to show him. As
if we are looking up to the villain to show much much power he has. For example over here we are looking up on him to show as if he is superior. Also the voice given to bane is a very deep voice and he usually speaks in riddles to show what he is going to do to the city, makes the audience feel a sense of fear as he is very intimidating. The lighting used in the trailer is very dark to show you silhouette of the actions scenes that are happening but they are not light or long enough to be shown what is actually happening, once again giving the audience a sense of mystery.

Narrative There is not a bunch of narrative told in this trailer but it does follow a fragmented order. It shows how the villain has come to take over the city of Gotham, whiteout the hero being seen anywhere and towards the end how the hero has a fight with the villain but subsequently gets dominated. Most of the story is told in sentences with fitting music soaking up all the scenes. For example instead of dialogue when it comes to bridges being exploded, intense orchasteric music is being played instead to get the audience thinking of what is happening.

On screen graphics and editing- The CGI used in this movie is very advanced and impactful as it shows a big chunk to the audience of how the
city is falling and quickly and nothing is being done about it and this creates a tense atmosphere as the audience starts to think whether this villain will actually get beaten. Furthermore the editing used in this shot is very quick and agile showing all the action that is happening and all the death and breaking of the movie.
