Avengers (Mel)





The trailer starts with an opening panning shot of where the movie will be taking place. This is an establishing shot and it helps for the audience to judge what the genre or pace of the movie will most likely be. Because the setting seems to be in a urban landscape you can tell that the genre of the movie will probably be some kind of action, which is very fast paced and exciting. It then cuts to a shot of a woman look out of a window, appearing quite scared looking at some kind of disturbance, which then cuts to a large explosion in a street. You would guess from the low angle of the shot of the woman that she may be one of the protagonists of the movie, although this is not certain, but the way the camera focuses on her does portray that. You then see two forces which are recognisable by the uniforms they are wearing: the army and police. They both appear to be shooting towards something which is a little higher than all of them, which shows that the opposing force is stronger than them, and they are possible scared by it. The next few frames of what appears to be the opposition have very dark and blue tinted lighting, which suggests a sinister feel to the group. There is then more explosions shown which coupled to the audio soundtrack suggest a turn for the worst. There is then again more evidence of the authorities with helicopters and official looking buildings. This then suddenly cuts to comic strips and the production company name. The music changes which sounds a little more 'sassy' which could denote some kind of romance, but in this genre probably just means the introduction of a main female character. This is then again confirmed with the entrance of a woman with bright red hair, who appears to be followed by two men. There is then a montage which shows all of the possible superheroes and them exploring their powers. This is another establishing shot but this time instead of it being for the landscape it is for the characters. This goes on for about 30 seconds, and is then followed by a group meeting of the characters who are figuring out 'what are we going to do?'. Proceeding this there are many more explosions and special effects used to portray disturbances to everyday life. There then appears to be many fight scenes between two different groups, with text appearing on screen sporadically reading such things as 'This May' and trying to hook the audience in to see the film even more. There is also then a small dialogue which says 'if you can't protect the area.... we'll avenge it'. This helps the viewers to see where a bouts the name of the film has come from, and once agin gives evidence that the movie will be filled with action. There is then the name of the film flashed across the screens in a relevant font, which leads to the last scene of the trailer, with some diegetic dialogue between two characters and some very fast shots of some more fighting scenes.
