Director - Martin Scorsese
Genre - Horror/Thriller
Plot - It's 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He's been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn't been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals "escape" in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.
At the end of this film it is shown that the main patient that they are looking for is actually him, he's one of the patients trying to tell them / go through the story to make him get his memory back. You can not see how it's shown in the trailer as they didn't want it to be obvious. I need to make slight clips in my trailer give the idea of what it's about as if I don't do that it just seems like there is no story line. I could do this by flashbacks to objects or scenes that would make the audience puzzled but get there head around.
Towards the end of every trailer I have analysed there has been many cut shots onto different scenes. It does this in this trailer towards the end using flashbacks in it also which moves into my idea. You can see the family that he had and it crumble away with a wide shot showing fire in the background making you have an idea that that's how she might of died.
The Non-Diegetic sound is very effective as it tells you a little about the film 'You don't know what fear can do to the mind ' this makes you wonder is what you are seeing actually real or in the mind. In my trailer I need to decide if I would want to use a voice over or writing on the screen as I think both are effective with words.
The Mise-En-Scene on the trailer is very important as you can see when he first arrives to The Shutter Island as you can look and see how he's important and has a role as a cop with his uniform and badge as it does a close zoom to it. However towards the end he just looks like everyone else all in white. This can tell is how things are changing and how they might be treating him different. I have to consider in my trailer what costumes / props I am going to want. I think for the girl I want to make her be normal as this causes no suspicion as to what is going on with her. I think her make up or eye colour could change when she's thinking what she's seeing trying to engage the audience as that's when she's going crazy.
I like the way the camera is used in some of the scenes shown in the trailer, for example when you see the woman being normal and sitting there and then its a quick cut shot to her then with blood on. This is effective and i would like to use this with certain objects or people in the film to make effect showing who's the victim, who's the bad guy and what sort of objects are important in the film.
The editing of the zooming on the scene when the girl writes in the notebook 'Run' after he opens it there's like a blurred effect on the and a zooming straight away. This makes you get put on ease and when everything starts to turn. Its effective because it causes tension to the audience thinking if anything is going to be bad for the main actor.
