research into my genre 1.

first film: The matrix

The Matrix is a 1999 American–Australian science fiction action film written and directed by The Wachowski Brothers, and starring Keanu Reeves,Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano, and Hugo Weaving. It depicts a dystopian future in which reality as perceived by most humans is actually a simulated reality called "the Matrix", created by sentient machines to subdue the human population, while their bodies' heat and electrical activity are used as an energy source. Computer programmer "Neo" learns this truth and is drawn into a rebellion against the machines, which involves other people who have been freed from the "dream world".

The mise en scene of the Matrix trailer.

The setting.

The film is set in what seems to be a normal city and in normal city buildings. they have done this to reinforce the simulated reality that the humans are actually in! 'The Matrix'. So in this movie the setting is in a normal place its just the things that are going on inside the city that is not normal.

The lighting.

The lighting in this film trailor is very dark. this suggest some sort of darkness in the film like there is something more. It is even quite dark when there outside in the light. it also suggests something bad is going to happen.

Editing

The editing in the film trailor is were they have cropped little bits of the film and put them together but they have done it in a way that each clip of different scenes blend in nicely. They have also edited words in to present the film and really sell it it asks questions so it connects with the audience.

Special effects

The special effects in the trailor show exactly how skilled the people in the film are. In the special effects they are mainly things like things fallin on fire and things moving really fast like bullets and people moving really fast. with these special effects you can litrally see them. like the actuall blury movement that there is.

Costumes

with the costumes they are all wearing dark costumes to match there character. the all tend to be wearing suites or some leather long jackets or leathery clothes. These items of clothing fit in with the theme of this film with the agents and the spies if they can really be classed as spies they are more like the good guys that are trying to save the human race from this imaginary world that they are living in being controlled by the bad guys in the matrix.

 

Props

They us many different props in this trailor. mainly things like different types of guns or weapons. they use these props to make the film even more realistic. they use the props very well as they are good actors and create a intresting film to watch. The props really do capture the audiences atention.
