Frequently Mentioned Characters
Harley Quinn Deadshot El Diablo
Sound
In the beginning of the trailer we are introduced with a section of the song Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?" this could help give the audience small knowledge of the plot because it seems absurd for the government/police to ask villains for help.
We next hear diagetic sound coming from the prison door and non-diagetic sound from one of the villains who is shouting out of the window in a threatening tone "Let me outta here, Donald Please, LET ME OUT OF HERE!" this helps show the audience that they're obviously in prison and usually villains are in prison.
The muffled screaming once the officer shuts the window of the cell door suggests that the character has no escape from where he is, no matter how loud he screams, he was still locked in.
The Bohemia Rhapsody song links really well with scenes from the movie, for instance "No escape from reality" we see an scene where Will Smith who plays Deadshot in the movie is looking outside a small window with rain pouring outside.
The emphasis of Deadshot being hit by a police man is shown as non-diegetic sound, this is used to exaggerate the force used whilst hitting Deadshot and this therefore makes it sound more realistic and painful.
There are sections where the music stops, this is repetitively done in section that are funny for instance when Harley Quinn says "Hey boys" this adds comedic effects and this could help the audience distinguish the genre of the movie without being told it.
"I should kill everyone and escape?" the piano melody is played in allegro and the melody is high pitched, this I feel exaggerates the lunacy of the characters.
Editing
There are various cuts used throughout this trailer there are 11 cuts used in only 27 seconds, these jump cuts are used in only small sections of the movie, this helps not give up too much detail of what happens in the movie so it makes us want to watch more.
As well as showing different aspects of the movie these jump cuts at also help the audience see the different characters and what their powers are and how they're villains even if they have no dialogue.
Longer shots in this trailer are usually only used in comedic scenes and important scenes, this helps give the audience an idea of what to expect to come up during the movie.
Mise-en-scene
An establishing shot is used of the prison, this helps give the audience an understanding of what the movie is about which in this case a group of villains.
The costume of characters also contributes in giving the audience an insight on what to expect, for instance the prison warden is dressed in all black with a bullet proof vest and a helmet and he is holding a gun this helps show how dangerous the prisoners are.
The villians are dressed to look either crazy or dangerous for instance Harley Quinn has purple and blue hair clipped on and the character El Diablo has his whole face tattooed, this makes him appear psychotic and dangerous.
The Mise-en-scene in this trailer shows that audience what era it is set in, they are various modern props/areas for instance the shop in scene where Harley Quinn steals a handbag looks modern and the style of clothes put of display show that it was set during this era.
