TRAILER ANALYSIS - GRAVITY

The trailer starts with a black screen fading into white text saying ‘at 372 miles above earth’. The darkness represents a show of nothingness, and that in space you are almost hopeless, and do not have anywhere to go. It then says ‘there is nothing to carry sound’ this is representative of the silence when the text is playing. The ‘no oxygen’, ‘no pressure’, if followed to prove that space is very dangerous. After saying ‘life in space is impossible’ it does a hard cut to the drama and intensity that faces in an accident in space, with Sandra Bullock hopelessly spinning around in space, which gives a display of how dangerous it actually can be. Then she chucks herself off of the stick; the silence is further displayed when the only sound we have is the breathing and her speaking, which builds up tension as she is stuck in the middle of nowhere, and the audience is waiting to see how she gets out and what happens next. George Clooney’s voice is then introduced, with him trying to comfort Sandra by talking to her about her family, which will result in her calming down and talking about her daughter, so she can give directions and say where she is. Also, with the actors Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, they as a result have star power. This is where the audience is more likely to watch a certain film as it has certain actors, and Clooney and Bullock fans will want to watch this film as they are in it, boosting their publicity and sales.
