Beginning of Research

Fifty Shades Darker (2017)-

So I decided to begin my research with one of the most recent movies that have just come out, Fifty Shades Darker. Since there are very similar elements between my film and theirs, I thought it would be smart to see the transition that the story has within the trailer, moving from a romantic atmosphere to a more mysterious one.

   Official trailer #1- The beginning of the trailer is focused on this idea of glamour that Mr. Grey brings to Anastasia. This could be seen by the variety of shots that are taken  , additionally, the music gives this sense of adventure which helps in coming to that conclusion. And a lot of the same shots are used from the previous trailer the only difference is the narration is different. This is what truly changes the target audience and opens up for a broader group of people to want to see the movie.Additionally, there is very little dialogue and more suspenseful music to emphasize the mysterious element even further. An example of this is when Anastasia is stuck in an office where a male character is not letting leave out of. And like the previous trailer, it is left with a cliff hanger.

   Official trailer #2- The beginning of the trailer is focusing on his voice. The trailer uses a conversation he is having with Anastasia but uses pictures from other scenes as he is speaking. And because the focus was his voice, there was a black screen in between each picture to give more importance to his voice and for the character to be more intriguing to the audience. They do the same for her as well, using pictures and videos of what she is talking about to narrate the scene and for others to understand it better. Then the trailer changes its dynamic and its pace is fastened. You can see and hear this, the audience can then assume that this is where the climax of the movie is. This continues on until the trailer ends with a cliff hanger of Anastasia in danger.
