Research into Trailers: Apollo 18

Link to the Trailer:

All the frames above that feature in the trailer are examples of extreme long shots. They represent the large size and emptiness of space whilst drawing the audiences attention to the rocket and/or text. The indent of information suggests that the film is a documentary and adds background information to the apparently 'factual' film.

All of the shot frames above taken from the trailer show the astronauts in a variety of ways. The image on the far left is from a camera filming the inside of the rocket and suggests a sense of normality. Similar to this the image next to it demonstrates an iconic pose of reaching the moon and showing pride in a nationality. However, the third frame of the left shows that the camera technique has altered to create a hazy 'broken' camera effect. This indicates a change in situation and almost hints at the possible loss of communication with Earth. Finally, the frame on the far right shows a shadow of an astronaut, this clearly suggests to the audience the vulnerability of the astronauts on the moon and how isolated they are.
