THRILLER TRAILER 4 : THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

The fourth thriller trailer I will be analysing is from the movie The Dark Night Rises :

1. Narrative

1. The aim is to create suspense/mystery and excitement for the audience

2. Violence is a key theme 

3. There is a protagonist who is rather immoral or an outsider, but usually has good intentions.

2. Mise-en-scene

1. Antagonist wears dark or black clothing 

2. blood and violence

3. Guns, knives, weapons, etc

4. Low-key lighting to create an atmosphere of suspense or gloom

5. Dark colour palette

6. Settings include isolated places 

7. Proxemics utilised in order to simulate claustrophobia

3. Sound

1. Begin with a slow tempo

2. Slow or eerie music in order to create suspense or uncertainty

3. Silence

4. Heightened diegetic sounds 

4. Camera angles, shots and movement

1. Tilt shots or otherwise disorientating angles and shots to create discomfort within the viewer

2. Close-ups and extreme close-ups of the protagonist

3. High angle shots to show the a character's dominance over another character, usually the 

    antagonist over the protagonist
