Legend
Genre: Crime / Drama
Narrative: About the Kray twins and the underworld of 1960's London, using violence to control and get what they want. With a police detective on their heels, the brothers continue their rise to power and tabloid notoriety.
Unique selling point: The trailer goes extremely well with the music, making it appear suave, seamless and stylish.
Target audience: over 18s
Music: 'I'm So Sorry' by Imagine Dragons is used, which works perfectly as the drums and guitar drive the action forwards as well as heightening the dramatic tension. It has a beat which allows shots to be put together in time with the soundtrack clearly - this makes the trailer easily watchable and memorable.
Shot types / camera angles: A combination of standard wide angle and close up shots. It is the way they have been put together which is stylish and interesting.
Pace: A steady pace throughout, speeding up slightly at the end but the soundtrack keeps the action constant from beginning to end. The pace lulls slightly when there is dialogue.
Dialogue: From a variety of characters, mainly the Kray twins but from minor characters too. This helps link the voiceover to the trailer.
Voiceover: Frances Shea, played by Emily Browning, speaks to the audience through the use of voiceover. She clearly sets up the narrative of the trailer and partially explains the moving images throughout. This is also helped by the dialogue in the trailer.
Special effects: Split screen has of course been used throughout the film, as Tom Hardy plays both of the Kray twins. Apart from this, no obvious CGI has been used.
Credits and inter-titles: This, along with the use of a rock song for the soundtrack, is why I enjoyed this trailer so much. The titles are 'slammed' onto the screen in time with the music, making them imposing and significant. This helps to increase the overall drama and tension within the trailer.
