Trailer Review. "The Catalyst"

Although this is a trailer, there are many elements that I can use in my film opening. I like how they have added very subtle elements of distortion to each scene, sometimes unnoticed but it really adds to the whole trailer. How they were very abstract but you still had a clear idea of what was going on. I like how they have used sound effects like voices overs and echoes. There were other elements that I liked for example they had a varied camera shots, close ups, slow motion and action shots. I liked that you were immediately able to tell the genre. Violence, however I feel that the swearing was not appropriate especially in a trailer.

But apart from that I think that the trailer is very entertaining. It captivates the audiences attention and the editing is not extremely unrealistic but rather it was used to enhance the the trailer, if I was going to imitate the type of editing they used I would have to find a way to edit it in such a way that it would be fitting to my genre and makes sure it enhances the frame rather than take away from it.
