Film Review - Suicide Squad (Will Smith)

Suicide Squad

The camera shots i think are effective are the close ups as they show the expression on their faces, long shots which show their body/body language, medium shot which shows their facial expression from their shoulders above, 2 shot which shows 2 of the characters at the same time, birds eye view which shows the setting they're in and what is happening, over the shoulder shot which shows how you would see the situation in that person's perspective and establishing shot which also shows the setting/scenery but in a different angle from birds eye view. the sound in this 2 minute clip is really effective; they play songs that are from the older days and not a lot of people know. they make sure that the music fades or there are no singing parts when there is speech involved. They emphasize the gun shots, shouting, very important speech or the comedy side - the funny speech. they do this because  they're the main parts of the movie so that you get a rough idea of what the movie is about and how they come across problems that they face. The feeling it gives off is that the film is an action comedy and that the film would be great overall. the pace of editing is fast; the reason for this is so that you can see more of the movie - the action and comedy parts. when an important part comes up it stays on screen for almost 4 times the amount of the other snippets so that you can hear what is said or see what is played. the costumes used are unusual. the prisoners have to wear orange overalls when in prison so that the officers and workers know their prison number and name without having to search/find out. they give off the feeling that in prison all of the suicide squad members are treated equally and get at least 1 luxury. when they leave prison and have to do a mission/quest they get to wear their own clothes. They all have their own unique style and the clothes they wear show their personality. Harley Quinn wears her own unique style in a unique way. She wears T-Shirt/vest with a strange style of bottoms. She wears what seem like bikini bottoms and stockings. She has half her hair dip dyed blue and half her hair dip died pink, Harley must have done/got this done because she wants to express herself through color - they could be her favorite colors. in the trailer you find out quite a bit about the film. You find out that they get asked to do a mission/quest as they are the most dangerous people and as they are they can deal with any situation as they have all got different backgrounds and can get through any problem they face. the titles in the trailer are used at the beginning and the end of the trailer so you don't get distracted reading rather than watching the trailer full. the main title which is used at the end of the trailer is strange and has a unique look and feel about it. it has a range of colors and its a weird font. We know its an action comedy as the action is full on and is consistent throughout the whole thing; it consists of guns, killing and fighting. the comedy part is covered throughout some of the serious parts to break the ice between them all.
