CHERNOBYL DIARIES TRAILER DECONSTRUCTION
· Camera Angles
- Over the shoulder shot, showing landscape and destruction
- Sudden zoom into close up shot of camera and picture on screen, dramatic
- Handheld shot at very end, chaos, scary
- Very choppy, camera angles change,
- A lot of montages, very fast, different angles
· Editing
- Transitions are dark and fading, almost flashing
- Switches to different shots and scenes quickly, montage
- Start- montage of airport, sun, Eiffel tower, landmarks, sightseeing
- Photos of them being taken, flash snapshot, also noise of camera
· Sound
- Uses same siren noise on transitions, speeding up, causing dramatic suspense- relating to nuclear reactor noise, like a siren/alarm
- “I cant leave without my brother” – Emotional effect
- Upbeat song at the start, changes when talking about tourism trip
- Voice over when old footage being shown, sounds very official, sad/scary
- “are you sure were out here alone?” – Suspense… makes you want to watch film!
- Goes quiet and eerie when child is in spotlight,
- A lot of screaming
- “Tell me if you see something moving in the water” – joking around, but should be serious
· Mise En Scene
- Children- child’s toy, child in headlights. Vulnerable
- Contrast between the start and the end, happy at the start, scary at the end.
- Radiation levels machine – Safe? But are they? Shown several times
· Titles
- “in 1986, Chernobyl reactor 4 exploded”
- “the radiation was worse than 400 atomic bombs”
- From creator of paranormal activity – assures us that film will be good!
- “there not following us, their hunting us” – scary
- “Experience” “The Fallout” “Chernobyl diaries” – three separate titles with dramatic shots in-between, keeps us engaged
- “Coming Soon” – No date, mysterious
