Zodiac trailer analysis
This first shot shown is of fireworks, the audience can hear the "bangs" of the fireworks as they go off. They are shown to be going off over a big city which immediately sets the scene. The fireworks look pretty in the sky, however this is quickly turned around when these banging noises turn into one big bang, we are then shown a gun, and a lady fall as she is shot in her car.
This is then followed by the movies production company "Paramount Movies" and "A TimeWarner company"
The first piece of voice over dialogue "Dear Editor, this is the murderer of the two teenagers last christmas..." a letter is shown from the murderer in child like writing.
A black background with white writing says "From the director of SE7EN and PANIC ROOM" this lets the audience know who wrote directed the movie.
We are then shown a short shot of a city, this is edited to be moving down when it fades to show a two shot of a man peering behind a womens shoulder desperately trying to listen to what is being said on the news on the TV.
This shot shows a yellow car, as the voice over says "the Zodiac killer has come to Francisco. In this shot the car is important because at the start of the trailer the lady was killed in her car.
In this next shot we see three men looking at another letter from the killer which reads "School children make nice targets" the man holding the letter is wearing gloves and a long coat suggesting he is investigating the crime scene. Which is then followed by a man walking a child away from a school bus. Children are commonly used in films because they are seen as vulnerable and easily led.
This next shot shows some men standing in an office all wearing shirts and ties, their clothing shows their importance and power, it also shows them trying to figure out the crime investigation and to find out who is sending the letters.
