War Dogs
The camera shots I thought were effective or interesting would be the establishing shot which shows some amazing scenery at the beginning of the trailer which the 2 main characters are based. Another shot i thought was effective was the 2 shot of two of the people based in the Pentagon asking Jonah Hill and Miles Teller questions about their work. Also, the medium shot of Jonah Hill when he was told something depressing was effective as you can see the anger and annoyance in his face. The sound used is effective in many ways, one of them being that at the start of the trailer its a very dramatic piece of music that draws you in with suspense and when the beat drops when something really important was said it makes you question what the film is about and how they got to that point. When "how did 2 twenty something young men land a $300,000,000 Pentagon contract?" was said the music picks up the pace and the music makes it seem unbelievable and its seems to be such an insane contract they have in their work. So that really important speech can be heard the music stops so that you can hear one of the buyers say to Jonah and Miles "you drove these?.... through the triangle of death?" after that was said music plays and it draws you in as an unbelievable situation that seems surreal. The pace of editing starts of slow so you can slightly get the hint of whats happening but as it carries on the editing gets faster and you see more of the exciting parts of the movie which dramatically changes your mood; it makes you excited and it electrify's you and seems to give you energy. I think the reason for this is because its a crime/drama film and has a lot of action involved. The costumes used are mainly casual/lounge wear that they would feel comfortable in and gives them a homely feel. When they have a meeting or something really important to go to they go full out and wear a suit to make their business side seem really into work and that they are fully committed to their job. We find out a lot about the story line along with the main thought of what was going to happen. The 2 main characters Jonah and Miles give off the feeling that they start of with next to nothing then as they get to grips with the job they begin to make a lot of money and live in luxury. This suggests that they are rebellious and will do anything extreme to get to live life like a king; they travel the "triangle of death" just to deliver some guns and army weapons. Titles in this trailer were used effectively. They fell in time with the music and stand out/are eye catching to the audience as the writing is bold and in capitals. The color is dark on a light colored background so it stands out more. You can tell its a film of the genre crime/drama; it consists of guns, shootings, car chases and it is all very dramatic and happens very quickly. Mise En Scene is used very effectively in this movie. The props used range from little things such as a hand gun to a larger object such as $300,000,000 all in one room. These types of products and objects are used to make the movie more realistic and makes it more truthful. If these objects weren't used the film wouldn't be as successful as they wouldn't have objects to back them up or make it realistic, the money and guns are also used to show that it is an action/crime film and these are some of the main props used in typical action or crime movies.
