I will be analysing this radio trailer to look at aspects and and features that could be used in our own trailer. I will be analyzing a trailer from the popular psychological thriller film Shutter Island directed by Martin Scorsese and starred in by Leonardo Dicaprio The trailer contains a narrative voiceover, direct quotes from the film and information of the film's cinema release, starring actor and famous director.
The voiceover in this trailer is split between 3 characters, the first voice heard is that of a prison guard welcoming people to shutter island, after that the character Marshall is narrating discussing prisoners and theyre crimes, claiming they are 'all violent offenders, theyre hurt people, murdered them in some cases', also stating 'whatever the hells going on here, its bad'. This sets the mystery element into play using the serious worried tone of his voice. cutting to comments from one of the islands resident psychologist stating 'men of violence are my specialty. This line sparks connotations of the films violent background and also adds the proffesional and psychological element to it.
There is then a high pitched screaming/shrieking sound effect used to invoke fear and more mystery into the trailer, followed by the Leonardo Dicaprio character Marshalls narration 'let me see your face, let me see your damn face' followed by a shout of 'dont move!', also including another shriek at the end of it. As Marshall says each line he raises his voice and his tone gets more and more aggressive, suggesting a sense of urgency as things get more complicated.
The sound of a match being lit is the next sound, followed by a whisper of 'oh my god', suggesting horror and discreteness. Some information of the film is then stated 'Shutter island rated R in theatres febuary 19th', signifying the end of the trailer whilst informing the audience.
The music throughout the whole trailer is quite quiet, deep and dark, with sound effects adding to its effect, it steadily gathers pace getting faster and faster up to the line of 'oh my god' where it then cuts out with the sound of the match being lit. The music overall is minor key, and the music is non diagetic whereas the utterances by Marshall, the prison guard and the psychologist is diagetic as it is all taken directly from the film's audio.
The trailer overall uses its music to match the genre of the film, steadily gathering the musics pace to match the thriller genre, using the audio from the film to add elements of mystery and horror.
