Analysing Films - Vantage Point

In this trailer we can see how the camera flicks into different points of view showing you the whole where abouts, and the main characters in the film. It introduces by opening with an establishing wide shot settimg the scene to allow the veiwer to see, whats roughly going on and where. The lighting seems to be quite bright this is maybe to allow you to see it is a happy environment and a good event is taking place. It then introduces you to the characters which seem to be the bodyguards which give you the impression something bad is going to happen as their role is to protect against bad people,  it focuses on them alot and their suspicious looking faces. We then get to see faces of some members of the public seeing there faces we can establish for ourselves what we make of them and how we label them before we actually understand whats going on. Suddenley the president gets penitrated into the chest and we realise he has been shot  as he calapses slowly to the ground. We don't know where the bullet comes from. This adds mystery and suspense this huge impact of what has happened keeps viewers on edge for what is going to tak eplace next. The whole of this is very fast paced and quick snappy shots, exactly what we would like to include in our film opening as it seems to be a recurring theme in all action movies so we see it as an important feature we should most deffinatley incorporate whilst filming. The us of guns and violence also again occurs another stereotypical symbol in an action movie. The music playing over the top of the video is very intense as it has a slow but built up beat, makes it feel as htough it is leading to something big.
