The film was set in 1941. The fiim is based on the true story of the three Bielski brothers. The film is shown through their prospective has they fight for survival. Just after the Nazi invasion of Poland in September 1939, the brothers take to the woods for shelter. They are then soon joined by others we are running from the anarchy in the main cities and the savagery being inflicted on the Jews. On the run and hiding in the deep forests of the then German occupied Poland and Belorussia (World War II), the three Bielski brothers find the impossible task of foraging for food and weapons for their survival.
Things I like about the trailer that I want to use for my own production is the intensity at the start of the clip. The clip start with wide shot of a house or a cottage at night, this immediately create confusion in the mind of the audience because you can just make out the light coming out of the windows.
From there we cut to a profile shoot of the main character and you can tell from his facial expression that something bad just occurred or is about to happen. The director distinguishes the difference between times by using black and white shots when we see a series of flashback. although this is the main trailer and i will not be able to establish as much of the plot as this clip does.
Right from the start of the clip they tried to create an atmosphere of battle. You can hear people marching, which is then used as a device to edit the shoots. The non-diegetic sound of someone giving a speech and then people cheering also supports my assumptions.
No voice over was used rather the story was told through a series of text on a black screen. The words move in time to the marching and at the same time they are moving to the centre creating the sense of emanate danger. The font and colour gets bolder through out the course of the teaser. The music also increases in tempo and layers. At the start you can hear sound effects but by the end you can hear a choir orchestra.
