Research: Teaser trailer: Red Eye - Psychological thriller
The trailer begins with upbeat music and the shot of the outside of an airport. The shot has been speeded up to create a face paced atmosphere which coincides with the music. It is nightime in the shot, which shows that the film may take place during the night.
The sky is a mixture of reds, blues and purples which makes the shot more eye-catching and grabs the viewers attention.
The next two shots are of a plane landing against the nights sky, with a voice over of a women from the airport, reinforcing the viewer that the airport is a crutial part of the films plot.
The next shot introduces the main character to us, but we only see her shoes, which builds up a sense of mystery and makes the audience want to watch more.
There is another shot of a busy aiport, which has also been edited to speed up, keeping the pace of the trailer very fast. The shot zooms out of the corrider and then pans rapidly, whilst the women can still be heard making an announcement of the speaker.
As she says the words 'delayed' there is a zoom in shot of the main character, who is recognisable as Rachel McAdams, a well known popular actress, thereby setting an immediate target audience for the film. As she fustratedly walks through the airport she is met by a women who accidently knocks her drink all over her.
Following this scene, another character is introduced to the audience as he engages with the main character about the delayed flight.
An over the shoulder shot shows a relationship developing between the pair as they talk over coffee whilst waiting for their flight to be ready.
The music is still up paced and the characters create a friendly atmosphere, tricking the audience into thinking this will be an upbeat film.
As the trailer zooms through the plane, again fast- paced, there is a shot of the main actress greeting the man once again, as they are seated next to eachother.
However, the music soon changes to a slower, more dramatic tune, as she asks the man what he does. The mise-en-scene becomes darker and there is a hole transition to show his eye, which is red, which gives connotations of danger.
