'The Drop' Analysis.

The work i will be commenting on is "The Drop". I think the general idea the trailer is trying to portray is that there is a briefcase which is highly important. One guy is being chased by the other in order to get the briefcase. The story line is quite basic which is good for opening trailers as there isn't too much going on, however, i do feel the group could have gone more into the story as at times it seemed like there was too much focus on the guys running down the stairs and it got a bit repetitive.

The music fitted well and the fast pace work well alongside the rushing around from the characters in the piece. I liked how the music changed slightly when the titles were up on screen, this gave the faster pace music more impact. There was a large number of shots included which altogether fitted in well and they were all used at the correct time. I do feel that there should have been a shot where the face of the main character could be seen as there was a lot of rushing around. When the main film starts it will be hard for the watcher to pick out which character was which in the opening section.

There is a great reaction shot found at 34 seconds where the timing is very well fitted with the audio and visual. Most of the scenes are filmed with a dark coloured filter which creates a eery mood. The camera is used well and is steady when needed and not steady when there is frustration by the character and when he is running. This works very well. Overall it does make the viewer wonder what is in the briefcase that is so important and would most likely make them want to keep watching.
