Phone Booth Film Comparison Insight

It is important I pay a lot of attention to this trailer to learn and gain techniques to include in my trailer, the overall storyline of becoming too good for everyone, being made vulnerable and realizing your mistakes after hand is totally identical to what happens in my storyline.

It is evident from the camera angles at the beginning of the trailer they are trying to make him look powerful and businesslike from the low angle camera shots. This is to make him appear big, bold and powerful.

After viewing this footage of him in power we see him in a position where he is made to look vulnerable. There is a very high angle shot looking down onto the phone booth which implies he is a little fish inside a big ocean. The camera then glances at the building with a low angle shot, this shows the power has now been shifted onto the man on the phone in a mysterious location.

The camera shots onto him when he is made vulnerable then only consist of close up and medium close ups. They have done this to make us unaware what is happening around him. This creates an atmosphere as if we are being restricted claustrophobia.

The trailer then leads into a false ending which enables us to believe that he has died, leaving unanswered questions to the viewers. This is a very important aspect in a trailer as it attracts people to want to watch the complete film. I will need to include something like this in my trailer which leaves the trailer unanswered.
