Focused Analysis 3: Mise-en Scene, I am Legend

The first shot we see is a high angle on the main charater in the bath tub there is quick editing with quite music we are then show the civilians of new york city, it is also zooming in on the location making the people below seem inferior. This can be also classed as a establishing shot as it is setting the scene. he captions and words of the character tell us the storyline. The lighting is very dim throughout the trailer especially when it is set in the dark. The music begins with a slight 'boom' sound telling the audience that its going to get tense. The editing here is slow and this is called the rising action as it is building up to the main point of the trailer. We are guided through a typical day of the main character, the soft music continues. A birds eye view shot is shown of the city which is a very interseting use of the camera. It is now night and the twist of the trailer is shown. The softer music stops and an ery music is played. Faster music begins and the editing is much quicker untill the last shot is shown and the music fades out and the realese date is shown.
