REC 2 teaser trailer analysis

At the beginning of the trailer,

the screen is left black for 5

seconds with a non-diegetic

sound of an old broken Spanish

record which suggests that this

movie may have been set up

somewhere in Spain.

An Institutional logo

appeared which is edited

as if it’s from a broken

camcorder to emphasise

the idea of a movie being a

documentary.

This point shows the

equilibrium where the

vibe feels safe and

secure with the armies

and their weapons.

The dark setting of this

scene connotes that

something bad is

about to happen.

The use of fading into a

black screen while

changing different

scenes in the clip helps

grow suspense and

tension to the audience

as they don’t know what

is about to occur.

The use of having the

camera attached onto

their clothing suggests

that this movie will be

showing one of the

victim’s/ characters point

of view.

Here is another example:

If we look closely at this

scene, we can see that

the camera is attached

onto the person’s helmet

(helmet on the left side

of the camera)

The broken camera

connotes that this

character(s) is going to

be

The use of black

background after the

disruption helps grow

the tension to its

audience.

The expression this

woman is showing to

the camera

emphasises her

worries about the

situation.

The emotion this

character is giving

shows the realisation

that a disruption has

occurred

The idea of showing us the

view of New York city

symbolises the distraction

and chaos that is going to

happen. New York is usually

the main place used for

movies with the genres of

action and sci-fi.
