The establishing shot is in the desert, giving the audience an idea of where the film will be taking place, mise-en-scene gives the impression that this film takes place in the mythological times. The main colours in the image are yellow, brown, black, with no bright colours, any colour in the image is faded, this gives the impression that this happened along time ago and gives it a desert like tone. This shot is designed to show the audience the spectacle of the film, they are trying to get the audience to come and watch the film because its going to be one big spectacle and to show this the trailer is full of CGI effects and action. The low angle shot of this strange man and his fellow soldiers, makes him look powerful and controlling, also because this main guy is in the foreground, it makes him look more powerful than the rest of them.
After the opening credits, there is again clever use of special effects to create this idea of the spectacle, the lighting is very important in this shot, the darkness creates the feeling of evil and the fire red, leaking out from behind the building again creates the sense of evil and death. The building helps to define the rule of thirds as being horizontal rather than vertical. The snake tail moving in the first shot and then cuts to a shot of the tail moving again, this helps adds flow to the trailer.
This shot then switches to a vertical rule of thirds clearly shown by the two men and the tail, this then highlights the two thirds that are at either end, this makes sure that you are drawn to the most important things in this shot, the tail and the person. The flickering the light in the background, this makes a fire effect, which gives the impression that stuff is burning, to show the audience that this is a bad place.
This shot makes the spider look all the more powerful whilst making the human look weaker as the camera rises going to a high angle shot, this helps to establish who the powerful race is in the film, giving the audience an idea about the story behind the film.
This low angle shot makes this human look more powerful and stronger, this is done to show the audience that he is more important and a man who can beat the forces of evil.
This shot again shows the target audience the idea of the spectacle, it makes the objects on screen much bigger increasing the spectacle and showing the audience that they need to view this spectacle.
This shot of the scorpions stinger is used to show the audience in a very blunt way, look at the cool special effects we have on show for you to see, so come and watch the whole film to see the entire spectacle.
This shot is very different to the rest of the trailer, this shot has white back light shining on this person to show the audience that he is the important person in this shot. The low angle shot used her creates the effect that this man is very powerful, by doing they show the audience that this man is important and strong. The bright and shining effects on the clothing, shows the audience that he is good and heaven like and possibly more powerful and important because everyone else in the trailer is in raggedy, dull clothing.
Again this shot of the giant scorpions attacking the humans doing cool and unseen things this shows the audience that these special effects are so brilliant that you have to go and watch this film. The amount of shots that the scorpions get in this trailer shows the audience that these scorpions are going to feature a lot in the film and because you are going to watch this film because of the spectacle, you will not be disappointed as a viewer.
The text used has a sliced effect to it, by doing this it adds to the idea that there will be lots of fighting in the movie. The light in the background and they way it splits through the sliced edges of the text, creating the feeling of the mystical powers featured in this film.
Throughout the trailer, the cuts between shots have been timed with the music, this helps to give the trailer some flow and it also helps to dictate the pace of the trailer, if they want to give the sense of action the music becomes louder and a quicker beat which in turn shows more shorter shots adding pace to the trailer.
