Film Review - Kingsman (Taron Egerton)

Kingsman : The Secret Service.

The camera shots i think are really effective would be : birds eye view which showed how the city looks and it gives off a gangster vibe where clearly no posh people live, long shots are used consistently throughout the trailer - they shows the whole body of the character from the shoes to the hat - this is because it gives you a feeling of what type of character they are and how they get around in life, establishing shot - again this is used to show the scenery and how the setting would then later be used in the film, close ups are used quite a bit in this trailer/movie to show the expression in their faces which could lead to how the film carries on, 2 shot is used to feature Colin Firth and Taron Egerton in the same shot as they are the two main characters and seeing them together brings the movie together as they would then have to be with each other for almost the rest of the movie, over the shoulder shot is used when Colin Firth was talking to Taron not long after they had first spoke to each other - this is effective as it shows you what it would be like to look at the character from the talkers point of view, as the action starts the shots (above) all come together for a quick paced part of the trailer which could then show that the action involved in the trailer/movie isn't easy going, its gory and quite aggressive. The pace of editing in this trailer depends on the mood given off in that scene. As the action starts to kick in towards the middle of the trailer the pace of editing. The clips of the movie are edited so that the speech is all important and means a huge part in the film. The costumes in this movie play a huge part and Colin Firth seemed to take pride in his appearance in this movie as he always dressed smartly with suit and tie. Taron Egerton started off as a gangster and wore tracksuits/jeans and a hoody. This shows that where he lived at the beginning people follow the crowd and nearly everyone dressed the same. Towards the middle of the trailer you can see Taron "Eggsy" start to also take pride in his appearance; he starts to become a spy alongside Colin Firth, Taron starts wearing suits and ties and this could be because he wants to follow in his father's footsteps and change how he is living as that isn't how he wants to spend the rest of his life. From the story line we actually find out quite a lot in a small space of just under 3 minutes. We find out that Taron and Colin work alongside each other to complete secret "missions" and try to make sure the world stays as it is or they could even make it a better place. They have to stop Samuel L. Jackson from killing everyone he doesn't know just because he doesn't like how many people there are on earth and the fact he thinks the world is too crowded.  The titles aren't really used between the trailer, they're are used mainly at the beginning and the end so that you can focus on the trailer. We know its a film of action/comedy as the comedy draws you in, making you laugh and it intrigues you. As the comedy starts to die down the action starts and the guns and killing start to get involved.
