Audience Feedback on our teaser trailer

Shot-by-shot analysis of our Teaser Trailer

Indistinctive Productions Logo.

Establishing shot of the detective, also a long shot of the characters standing in the alleyway. We thought this shot was beneficial to the genre of the film, as Film Noir usually is set in an urban setting and dark to connote a mysterious plot. We thought this would be a great first shot for the trailer to establish the film and it's storyline. 

We chose Mark Kermode, from The Observer due to being one of the most well known film critiques. This makes the film sound professional and successful. We also thought the quote went well with our film, as one of the main characters is a femme fatale-which introduces the seductiveness of the trailer. We chose this font as we thought it went well with the 'classy' theme of the film and the time period, also the black background blends in with the dark shots throughout the trailer.

Mid-shot of the detective sitting between the legs that act as a border for the camera. This shot gives suggestions for what the film may be about- such as seductiveness, adultery and love. 

The over the shoulder shot of James, (Raymond) perfectly shows his attitude towards the detective as he subtly walks by. This acts as a give away to the relationships in the plot, highlighting that James (Raymond) does not like the Detective. 

We wanted to show the relationships in this trailer, so that the audience have a feel for the plot. We established in this trailer that the detective and Raymond do not like one another due to the hatred shown in both their faces. This shot is mid-shot, shown in a 'cocktail bar' with the barman in the background- this also accounts to the time period of the 1950s that we wanted to capture in our film. 

Title screen introducing the directors.

Mid shot of the two main characters; the femme fatale and the detective. The closeness of the two characters highlights the sexual relationships that are apparent throughout the whole of the film. We used high key lighting to highlight the relationship in the film and the importance of it in the film. 

Introducing the detective in the title screen.

Mid shot of the detective sitting at the piano, whilst Vivienne walks towards him. We used the background to highlight the time period. We sued high key lighting to create the shadows, which is what Film Noir consists of, as it uses German Expressionism.

Mid Shot of a shadowed figure walking with a gun. We sued this shot as a shadowed figure, instead of using someone to walk with the gun as it creates mystery. The audience watching the trailer will be anticipate what will be happening in the film, it intrigues them into the film and why was this caused.

This mid shot of Bridgette and Detective standing facing one another also suggests romance in the film. This shot also involves action, due to James running towards the two, suggesting that there may be violent and tense shots in the film.

This shot is a mid shot of the characters, whilst the detective walks closer to Raymond. The shot ends with Raymond launching for the detective highlighting the violence in the films. This also shows the destructive relationships and friendships in the film and it will involve.

This close up of Vivienne applying lipstick highlights her youth, also the characteristics of the femme fatale. The femme fatale is associated with RED, so the character applying red lipstick highlights her seductiveness throughout the film and this is directly referenced in the trailer.

title screen introducing the femme fatale.

This close up of Vivienne of her smoking highlights how we have used elements of what would be included in a classic film noir made in the 1950s. 

We used high key lighting in this close shot of Bridgette so we could use Venetian blinds. We used the venetian blinds, as they are a main code and convention for Film Noir, audiences will be looking for the iconography of this. The blinds connote secretive nature, which is involved in the adulterous nature in the trailer.

Introducing the main character.

This low angle of Bridgette highlights her dominance within both her relationships with the detective and Raymond. Also her lifestyle and class. The mid shot also takes in the building surrounding the character, showing her lavish lifestyle.

This high angle shot of Raymond highlights his submissive behaviour throughout the film. Also how he is dominated over by his wife and her actions. Also the over shoulder shot highlights their relationship as they look at one another. 

Introducing the main character 

This over the shoulder shot of Raymond looking at the detective highlights the tension that will be felt throughout the film. 

The mid shot of the detective turning around suggests he is waiting for something in particular, or watching. This adds mystery to the trailer as the audience will be intrigued to what is happening.

This shot of Vivienne walking up towards Raymond highlights one again, the seductive nature from the femme fatale and the 'love rectangle' relationship. 

We have also included all of our social networking sites to involve the audience in the film's journey.
