In this trailer there is a lot of change in the type of music that plays in the trailer from classical, to more up to date music in 1994 of course when the film was made. The trailer went into being more of a quicker pace to match the fast paced music that was on over the images. The genre of the film is thriller with a sub-genre of crime this means that it is a more realistic thriller which is different to a horror thriller perhaps, because the crime thriller does not have to be gory and it will have more of a real storyline that can be followed, this is what can be found out just from the genre of the film.
In the first part of the trailer there was a narration of the awards that the film has won, this shows us how successful the film was meaning that it must have been a good film. Seeing that the film had won awards then the audience watching the trailer would assume that it is a good film and go and watch the full film, the titles are good for promotion of the film and luring the audience to them, also just after the first bit of the trailer there was a short scene when everything started speeding up and then the name of the director popped up, the reason for this is that the director was clearly a well known director at the time of the film being made and anyone who knew this would believe that because he made it, it would be a good film.
The two male characters near the beginning who are always wearing suits and carrying guns and are seen firing them are shown as perhaps gangsters, this is because all of the things that you associate gangsters with at that time are used on the characters things such as the smart dress sense which the suit is very common in and then there is the guns which is associated with violence and violent people. If the characters are associated with these traits then you can assume that they are villainous characters as you do not see heros with these traits. The woman in the trailer is clearly a main character as she is shown in the short period of time more than most characters, the description of this character is that she is desired and she has a connection with one of the other characters as you see her close with a male character and then later on seeing her kiss with the character, this tells us already which character she has a connection with.
The text in the trailer as it goes on outlines the story of the film by showing random words through out, words such as loyalty and betrayal, these two words are conflicting and are shown in that order so it would seem as though there was once loyalty and then betrayal followed and then the text after this was crime, the meaning of this could be that the people who are accused of betrayal in the film which you don't know also have committed a crime by doing this.
The cast is brought to the attention of the audience at the end of the trailer where there is a narration calling out the names of the cast, where the cast could of been put down in text they were called out instead, the reason for them being emphasized is that clearly the cast were all very popular and were top rated actors and actresses. This appeals to the audience because everyone loves to see a film with their favourite actors in, this would result in more people going to watch the film and a huge profit for the producers of the film.
Finally the studio details were shown at the end of the trailer which is important as every trailer would have these because they are a necessity, this is the proof and credit to the people who produced the film and the companies who distributed the film too.
