Trailer deconstruction - Brotherhood

Trailer deconstruction - Brotherhood

Structure

• The film starts with a time lapse of London from day to night with a voiceover saying 'Times Change'
• There are then quick montage scenes of London, concerts, family, police and death up to 0:13 seconds. 
• Throughout the majority of this trailer there is quick fast paced editing often followed by montages. 
• After 0:13 seconds, there are scenes violence, death, love , sex, money , family and multiple scenes representing solitude. 
• The violent/chase scenes are more short montage editing , whereas love and family seem to be more prolonged. 
• The last scene is the main protagonist looking down, seemingly after a fight with a face full of scratches and once again he is in solitude.

Sound

In the first scene where there is a time lapse of London from day to night, firstly there is a cinematic trailer impact sound, followed by an offscreen, yet diegetic narrative saying 'Times Change'. This goes with the scene is it shows the transition from day to night in London.

The narration then continues, also accompanied by the non-diegetic impact hit, which is synchronous to the scene with the quick cut editing. We then find out this was all a soundbridge at 0:11. At 0:13 seconds  uk hip-hop starts playing which comes to an end at 0:24 seconds. This is all part of the tension build and at the second drop UK grime is played at 0:33 seconds. At 0:37 the grime pauses and plays once again at 0:40 when an action scene has started. These stops and starts of the music all contribute to the overall effect and tension of the trailer enticing the audience. From here on, the cinematic 'boom' sound effect starts again synchronous to every new action scene shown.

Typography

• The typography is clean and bold and white in all-caps. In other genres like this there would be an overlay in the 'old movie' effect, however in 'Brotherhood' the font itself has the effect of an older movie
