The first shot is an establishing shot of New York City, which connotes that this location will play a major role in the movie and that the movie will be centred in and around New York.
In this trailer many different location shots are used connoting that this film is going to take place in a variety of locations. In one shot it appears that a German police car is being flipped over by an explosion.
Within this trailer there are several examples of explosions and destruction connoting that this will be a heavily based action film with many fight scenes and that there is some sort of colossal force the heroes within the film must face and overcome.
The trailer also increases in the tempo and speed as the trailer progresses. Starting off at a much slower pace and building up speed as it continues with snippets of action sequences and then begins to slow again where there is interaction between characters and uses a quick sneak peak of the character “Hulk” right at the end to close the trailer with. This connotes the pace of how the film will go, with a slow start setting the scene for the movie, a rush and a panic, character interactions and the building of the team with an explosive finish to match.
When the trailer begins, the hero characters of the film dialogue include, “what do we do?” “We get ready” the scene is very dark and the night sky is used yet when the solution to the problem is unveiled in the heroes of the movie there is a contrast in colours as it is much lighter. This connotes that there is an evil, dark theme to this film with the heroes providing the solution and can bring the world out of this dark time and into the light and prevent this darkness from enveloping the world.
The villain is made clear to the audience almost immediately in this trailer as dark eerie surroundings are used to accompany the character along with a camera pan, slowly moving toward the characters face. An extreme close shot is then used to capture the characters expressions, connoting their emotions. The character clearly displays an aggressive hateful nature and is reinforced when he attacks the security guards.
A wide range of camera shots and angles are used throughout the trailer varying from dutch tilt, establishing shots, mid shots, close shots etc. Each of these is often short and follows each other in quick succession. Again connoting action and excitement through the speed of which the trailer progresses. This then hooks the audience and leaves them wanting to see more.
