Research/ Hyena Theatrical Trailer

• Straight away we're introduced to the distribution company, Metrodome, and then the production companies 4Film and BFI. So already we have expectations of the film. For example the narrative being something that's about society and artistic/creative cinematography but without the Hollywood budget. 
• The first shot is a over the shoulder shot but because the camera is panning it feels like a point of view shot. So this creates the sense of us entering the world we're about to be shown through this trailer.
• The inter titles are quotes from reviews but they also work with the scenes we're shown. Phrases and words such as "Hits like a sledgehammer" and "Arresting" give clues to narratives about the crook police officer we're following. 
• The darker scenes are in darker lighting and most are at night, so we're left wanting to know more. This gives the trailer a mysterious twist and the sense of unknowing, which also hints towards what the ending of the film will be like.
• The music is dramatic and loud throughout the entire trailer and the inter titles coming in to the time to the music emphasises the words we are reading even more. We're creating our own build up to the music.
• The trailer shows the awards won at film festivals so we're aware this an independent film which has gained recognition which means it's worth watching. 
• The last shot is my favourite because of the title "Hyena" is an electric blue this contrasts the dark background and makes the last thing we saw on trailer stick with us visually.
