The scene starts off with an establishing shot of the city it is set in San Francisco in America, this set sets the scene off and drags the audience in. Straight away the voice over starts off with a female asking for help, pleading to the male who may be guessed at the detective.
The different shots fade in to one another until the gunshot goes off that then starts the scene off, the atmosphere and what the audience see is dark- which creates tension and excitement. Then the second voiceover of the male shows his authority and masculitinty that he'll be helping the woman and she is the passive character the FEMME FATALE.
Throughout most teaser trailers the pace is quick and shows alot of shots, this trailer cuts the shots quickly and effectively by showing tracking/ dolly shots of the detectives running around also shot/ reverse shots of the male talking to the femlale.
When the end of the trailer is coming to an end the dialogue becomes dramatic as there is a loud orchesta in the background including drums, violens to represent the fear, tension and anxiety both the characters in the trailer are feeling and target audience watching.
THE LAST SEDUCTION 1993
The Teaser Trailer starts off with a woman voice over than cut to the woman on the phone talking to man, this is seen through fast pace cuts to show their conversation and their facial expressions toward the situation.
The clip is then suddenly cut to the "couple" being intimate, showing that there will be romance in the film- this may or may not appeal to the audience. Romance is a commonly used sub-genre in Film Noir films, oftenly with the femme fatale involved.
In most teaser trailers there are cuts between the clips, as it is fast pacing to involve the plot or to just show the main events that are involved in the movie to attract the audience. In this cut, it shows a big pile of money. then the camera tracks to the couple, who look happy. In most Film Noir genres, money is most likely in the plot as it can be involved with the wealthy or crime. This shows that this Neo Noir film have taken the traditional elements and plot of a classic Film Noir and used it.
There is a voiceover of the woman, which subverts the class dominant role of the male, who is uncluded in all authroitive roles and has the last say. The trailer adds tension by creating quick pacing shots of the woman running as the camera tracks her. Shot / Reverse shots of the male characters talking on the phone who sound anxious. The authoritive role is subverted as the woman is the main character, as she is surrounded by the men in the trailer.
There is a voiceover while there are intimate shots showing the couple connoting the romance that is involved in the film. The voiceover sounds serious (female voice) this shows the different sides of the woman as she can be in serious situations but also can use her seductive side, this shows what she is capable of.
Voiceover of a scared man saying "she's here" subverting the role- the male is scared of the fmelae dominance- this is ironic as in the "Maltese Falcon" the woman is scared of a male.
