Research-Shutter Island trailer analysis

                
                          
I chose Shutter Island to analyse because it was the first film that triggered my love for thriller films. Due to it being a psychological thriller it is extremely enticing, i like how the plot twist at the end of the film completely changes your perspective and makes you want to watch again and again in order to pick up clue which you may have missed in the begging. The trailer is very clever and intricately produced, as although it gives us a basic story line, there are flash cuts which are there to plant seeds and disorientate us a viewer. This trailer has had a huge influence in helping me discover what i want to base my trailer on and therefore i have decided i want to mislead the audience into thinking that my protagonist is actually the victim though through montage edits and flash cutting i am going to create an enigma of which may lead them to suspect something else. I am going to foreshadow the 'random' shots used within Shutter Islands trailer and adapt it to suit my narrative. Though like this trailer i am going to ensure that i do not give to much information away in order to keep the audience on their toes, hungry for more.
