Final destination 3.
Media language
Cinematography
- At the start of the trailer the camera is used with a tilt, and an establishing shot of the plane the cast are in. This is to show that the people in the plane are in danger. It also shows the situation of the whole plane instead of just one person.
- It then has a lot of movement in the camera to show the planes movement and the rush of fear in the passengers. It then also have medium close ups of the passengers to show the fear rushing through their faces. The clips on the plane are a montage, this may of been used to cut down the trailer and to only show the peaks of the film.
- Then there is a series of straight cuts to show it is in the real world and is based in a real life situation.
- As it is finally showing the final film it has an establishing shot to show the real life situation the teenagers are in.
- As the roller coaster is breaking down the shots do change. They do this to show that the real life situation is soon going to become bad. This is shown by a close up of the wheels of the carriage.
- Then as we see the coffins we have a birds eye view shot to show the situation which they have been left in. This show that death is also a major part of the film.
- We then have a wipe across the people at the funeral and then a zoom into one person, showing that this one person has more significance than the others at the funeral.
- There is then a close up of a girls face, to show that she is worried, this shows the audience that something is going to happen, then there is a POV shot which is also a low angle shot of her looking up at the planks of wood which is going to fall on her.
- To finish it off it shows a low angle of the roller coaster falling off. Showing that it is not going to be a good ending to the film either.
- The start of the trailer starts off with the MPAA warning showing that this trailer is suitable for every audience. We normally see this as the beginning of most teaser trailers.
- When the actually trailer starts there is a blue ting to the black background, and then we see a bluey/grey smoke come across the screen. This blue makes it look mysterious and can represent the death which final destination is about.
- We then have the studio name, we have this fade to give the impression of spookiness and to represent the genre.
- After all this slow editing of the studio name and smoke we then get a series of fast clips of the passengers on the plane. These clips are around 1 second long and then cut to black. There is 2 of theses clips then it goes back to the slower editing of the smoke. This time we have text which is centered and white to stand out from the bluey/black. The text is zoomed in towards us to show us that it is important to read it. It is slower editing than the clips but not as slow as the studio editing.
- Then it goes back to the 2 1 second clips which cut to black of the plane, this is to show there is disruption on the plane and to show the genre of film.
- Then when it goes back to the smoky bluey/black screen, the writing gets zoomed in quicker to show the tension is building up.
- We then have a montage (Kuleshov's theory) of the second film to show that theses events are happening at the same time. The editing in this is fast, quick pacing to show that the action is beginning to get more violent. At the same time the editing is fast but the actions in the clips have slow down. This is so you see what actually happens but shows its all fast pacing.
- It then has a log going into the car window, and this makes it cut to black.
- Now it goes back to the bluey/black screen with the writing, this time the zoom of the writing has slow down to show that this is the actual film they are advertising.
- The writing is zoomed towards us but at the same time, in the background there is a roller coaster and there is a track as if we are going on the journey of the roller coaster.
- As the roller coaster track effect begins the writing starts to zoom faster to compliment the track.
- We then have 7 1 second clips which then go to cut to black, this is to show, that this film is the most action packed and to show this film is the one you need to concentrate more on.
- Instead of following the pattern of clips then text, they have carried on with different shot types.
- We then have a cut to black then a 360 degree twirl of the coffins, this is to show the seriousness of the film.
- The editing in this part has gone from fast editing to slow editing to show the Todorov theory to show equilibrium, distrution, equilibrium resolved.
- Once the clip of the coffins is shown we have a track over the people at the funeral and once one of the main characters are in the shot the track gets faster and zooms right into them and we then have a cut away from the boy to an ambulance and paramedics.
- We then have a first fade to black, to show that death is finally catching up to them.
- We then have a another series of jump cuts with cut to black between them of the roller coaster to show that the action is starting again.
- Then we have the sunbed clip and it starts of with slow straight cuts so you can see why the fire is starting, then once the fire is started we have fast straight cuts.
- We then have a jump cut to the two teenagers in the bedroom and then another jump cut to show the roller coaster. This shows the two teenagers was on the roller coaster.
- We then have a series of clips all from different parts of the film including theses two teenagers which have been in the trailer the most.
- We then have a match cut of the swords coming down to the roller coaster spinning round, this is to show that everything is linked together in the film.
- We then have another series of jump cuts of different parts of the film to show how chaotic the film will be.
- It stops the jumps cuts with a stop of the roller coaster. The editing then slows right down and ends with the carriage of the roller coaster coming down on us. As this comes down it then goes straight to the blue/black screen again with the name of the film.
- The name of the film zooms outwards this time and then fades out. This could be to make it look mysterious and to make the audience want to watch the film.
- It then has subtitles of producers ect. Then a quick flash of coming soon to finish the trailer off to make the audience be suspense and wondering.
- The clip starts off non -diagetic sound of the score. This is a mysterious wind like sound. This is played when the blue/black screens are on. This sound could also represent death,which is the film is about.
- When clips of the plane are on we here diagetic sound of banging which the passengers will think is turbulence but the audience will know it is something dangerous which is going to happen.
- We then hear crashing of the plane and people screaming which is diagetic sound, this shows how danger is occurring.
- All the way through the trailer it seems to have the same pattern when the blue/black screen is on it is a smoky sound and then dialogue on the clips from the film.
- By the time it advertises the actual film there is diagetic sound of the main characters, this is to show who will be the main characters and to show this is the film which they are advertising.
- As the roller coaster is going round there is non-diagetic sound of a score which makes it sound like the actual roller coaster.
Mise-en-scene
- The settings of all 3 films advertised are just everyday scenes, the first one is in a plane, but to show disruption it shows the oxygen masks and lights flashing.
- Then in the second film, its on a road but again to show disruption by cars flying around and logs.
- The third one is at a theme park and to show disruption we see wheels flying off and water drops ect.
- The clothing is just casual everyday clothing to show that it is set in the real life.
- It is like this to show that it is set in real life and its unexpected.
- The teaser trailer is representing young adults/teenagers to show this is what type of audience they are aiming for.
- There are also a lower class/middle class people.
- It also shows it is for both sexes as men and woman are both represented as strong and weak in this trailer.
- The audience of final destination 3 is a 15 certificate, so the audience is 15+. I think it is about 15 - 25 due to the cast in the film. I think this is because they want them to link the audience with the cast, to make them feel for them.
- I think it is aimed at both sexes.
Genre
- The genre is a horror/thriller, this type of film normally has its audience on the edge of their seats. It also includes strong language, strong frighting images and a strong story line.
Narrative
- The plot summary is shown in the trailer by the subtitles and the dialogue of the cast.
