trailer analysis - Olympus has fallen

The 2:31 trailer starts of in chronological order and sets up a good back story explaining how these two characters are connected, from this they had set in up quite nicely to really play around with the order of the film; a tactic sometimes used to throw people of the real plot line, this is not the case how ever in this trailer it keeps it very much in chronological order. But keep the ending hidden, this is something that would be a nice idea for our film but would be to tricky for us to pull off.

special effects are also used to a large extent in this movie to highlight the damage the terrorists are doing to the American capital city, from this you can see that the movies main target audience is american`s due to the multiple explosions and destruction to there national landmarks such as the white house, also the hostage is the president. with theses elements combined it also suggests to me that it was aiming to draw people in the fact the terrorists are north Korean a very current issues.

the dialog is minimal but with this it creates an intense focus on what is being said, such as "im your only hope" and "it more than just the president" this sort of dialog cut in with scenes of action create a really good final few seconds for the trailer, and something we can easily use.
