The text frames in the film trailer ‘The
Dark Knight’ are specifically chosen to catch the viewer's eye and tell a
story. At the beginning of the trailer the music is very quiet and the first
bit of dialogue “There’s a storm coming” this line foreshadows that something
dangerous is going to happen. The quietness of the music makes the atmosphere
very tense, and also the trailer begins quite slowly to introduce the
characters. As the trailer progresses so does the music, which gradually gets
louder and a lot more atmospheric creating a very dangerous feeling.
The scene uses special effects and
changes the speed of the scene depending on what is going on. When the fight
starts the trailer turns to fast music and it show glimpses of the fight and
other scenes of action. There are very few text frames so dialogue from parts of the film are used to drive the story forward
