  • The veryfirst image we see is an establishing shot of New York with text “on any ordinary day” however the image is upside down. This suggests that the on goings are going to be unusual and off balanced implying that something not normal will happen. The image then changes and flips the correct way up. • To introduce the main characters tracking is used. The first woman says “Do I look like such a threat?” this creates foreshadow and enigma within the audience and suggests she could possibly be the devil. This also creates a mystery within the trailer because no one knows for sure who the devil is.

  • Another imageof New York is shown, again upside down continuing with the off balance events that will occur within the film. And snapshots of each main character are shown, fading in and out on each. • Non diegetic background music is used. The high pitched tone creates an eerie atmosphere before the film even begins properly. You can also hear ambient sounds of the hustle bustle of an average day in New York which suggests that this was just any normal day when something goes wrong that could have happened to anyone. • Through different scenes, the text, shown on different shots says “On an ordinary day” “Our lives are filled” “with chance encounters”. This leads the audience to believe that these events are random and again suggests it could have happened to literally anyone, and it was just chance that brings the five people together. This would cause the audience to think more deeply into the story line.

  • The costume of each character represents them in very different ways. The first lady is wearing a blazer, white top and scarf. This suggests her to be sophisticated however her white top is rather low cut so reflects on her personality aswell. Possibly she is the type of flirty person who likes to look nice but also wear respectable clothing too. The second character we see is the first male. He is stood in the street in what appears to be dirty clothes. He also has his hood up. This automatically creates the stereotype of him being a ‘criminal’ or ‘thug’ because of the way he dresses. This also suggests he may be of lower to middle class with not a very high status and show that he doesn’t have a job as he is in the middle of the town in the middle of the day doing nothing dressed in casual wear. After this is the middle aged woman, dressed in a suit; we are only shown the top half of her body, around the shoulders upwards. This focuses on the age of the character and shows she is older than the rest of the main characters. The next character is the security guard. He is wearing a security guard uniform. This instantly reflects on his status, middle to higher class because his well respected job but also suggests he is safe to be around as his job is to protect people.

  • The camerathen zooms in to the top of the building and goes inside from a vent the top. The camera speeds up and goes deeper and deeper into the vent before stopping at the elevator all the characters are trapped in. this suggests that there is something racing towards them that they don’t know about and there is nothing they can do about it because they are trapped. It is when the camera reaches the elevator that the elevator stops so this shows that it is something that is doing it, we just don’t know what the something is.
