Detailed analysis of The Descent

First thing we see is MPAA (motion picture association of America) which is the film ratings. The next shot is the film company logo. Sound effrects between the caption scenes and first shot. Then we get the introductory shot, the first 2 or 3 shots introduce us to the characters, Then we get a wide shot to allow us to see the location. The mood/atmosphere at the start of the trailer is very calm and normal, as it has been shot in daylight. Collection of medium shots with close ups. We then get a caption that says 'claustrophobia' the background is black and the font and is very small and flickers this sybolises the dark cave with the small amount of light they are getting from there helmets. The next shot hardly changes only a little bit of light is shown, dialogue from the characters and heavy breathing can be heardthis is buliding up the atmosphere. The next caption says 'disorientation' this matches what is going on in the trailer. The next shots are extended as there is dialouge between the characters and we need to hear the conversation or response tounderstand what is going on. The next caption is 'fear' there is a dramatic sound effect. The next section everything speeds up as it is the last third of the trailer. We then get credit reviews, short quotes and striking statements, saying who they are from underneath. There is 3 quotes and they appear over actual footage from the film. There is a slow build up the shots fade, then turn to cuts then there is no transitions when it reaches the climax. The next shot is the title of the film with a vast black background, fits in with the film. The very last image we see has to stick in the audiences mind, it has to be dramatic. Then we see 'coming soon' and the website address underneath in smaller font
