Nightcrawler

The trailer for Nightcrawler uses the elements/conventions of a thriller thoroughly. It opens with a mid shot of a city street cutting straight into an extreme close up of the side of a mans face, surrounded by boche. The music sounds like a simple piano tune and is wary and spooky, this is then followed up by a voice over. The next interesting bit to me is the scene fades out and on each of the three beats in the music we see three establishing shots of,  a mountain underneath a shinning, white, full moon... one lampost, watching over a city, and an abandoned under pass, these three images intensify the trailer and reinforce the thriller ideas. Straight into a scene with two police cars we hear the sound of the cars and the flashing lights, accompanied with shouting and chaos, this begins the narrative and makes the film look exciting and thrilling. We begin to hear stronger, harsher sounds and later an electric guitar sound s introduced. A following sequence, consists of a manic car chase, which is typical of a thriller, and includes more voice overs and narrating. AS the narrative becomes clearer we watch more panning establishing shots, close ups of things such as the dials in the car. An epic sounding song is introduced over small short sections of scenes, provoking an intense and exciting trailer. Words begin to show on the screen such as "How far will you go?"...... "For the American Dream"... questioning the audience further about themselves and also about the film, interesting us. Due to the last quick sections from the film it finally ties together, this film i going to be exciting and gripping through chaotic car chases, exciting real life based things and psychologically challenging.
