Interstellar Trailer Analysis

Intertitles:

The first intertitles to be shown are the production companies, after they have introduced the setting and problem in the film. The next inter-titles are used to advertise the films that some audiences may be familiar with, therefore they would have trust in the film and would be enticed to watch it. The inter-titles don't give much away about the narrative, therefore it is left for the audience to listen and watch in order to find out what happens.

• "From Christopher Nolan"
• "Director of The Dark Night and Inception"
• "It was never meant to die here"
• "InterStellar"

Music:

• The music used is mostly made out of stringed instruments, to create soft and harsh emotions in the trailer.
• At the beginning the music is very quiet and suspenseful, this is so that the audience can listen to the dialogue in order to find out the dilemma in the film. This gives them the chance to be able to decide whether this is a film that they would consider watching.
•  Also the lack of music at the beginning of the trailer, shows the mundane lives of the characters. Therefore as the music slowly gets louder and and more complicated, it's shows the changes in their life, adding emotion, suspense. 

Shots and Editing:
The first shot introduces the main character, where he looks like a normal man. However close ups, and fast pace editing is used to show that they have a different life that no one else is aware of. Long shots are used to show the setting that resembles a dystopia. The editing is slow pace to show the relations between the characters, as well as to build up the emotions. Long shots are shown of space, to impress the audience as well as to show the unknown.

Dialogue:

• The dialogue is used to introduce the setting, as well as the relationship between the characters. Mostly they focus on the relationship between the father and the daughter. The dialogue is played over shots of the world deteriorating to show the hard decision he has to make between whether to save the world or if to stay with his kids.
• Another character's voice is played over the top of the trailer to show that humanity needs the man to save the world. This entices the audience to watch the film as they would want to see what decision he make sin the end. 
  

Target audience and Genre:
The target audience would be for 15+ as they would be interested in what could happen to the world, and how the human race would go about saving it. They would need to be interested in space and complex ideas of what is in space. The genre is a sci-fi thriller, as it's based on space, needing an intellectual audience to be able to understand the narrative. The audience only see him about to go into space, therefore suspense is built because of the unknown, making the film a thriller.

  From this trailer I would like to recreate the hand holding shot as it's a good way to show a relationship as well as the action that is going on in the film. As I want to include this shot I have learned that I want to show a distinctive relationship between two characters.
