The director of the movie trailer is ensuring that the trailer is exciting is ensuring that the trailer is kept exciting and shows the intensity of the film. One way the director has ensured the audience is engaged is largely through the music used - both non-diagetic and diagetic. The music begins calming, however here is a slight sinister sound . It is immediately interupted with a phone call. This helps to add to the idea of urgency and excitement; thus adding drama to the trailer promoting the film. The diagetic sound plays a really important part in the trailr, and it becomes the most important and thrilling part. The diagetic sound which has the most impact is when he states "I don't know who you are...but I will find you and I will kill you". The dialog helps to intensify the trailer and ensure that the concept of the film is made clear. When he is reciting this, he other music is non-diagetic and shows screams and cries - illustrating the terror, excitement and intensity of the film. The sounds in the trailer all combined help add excitement thus making the person want to see more.
The angles, shots and the actual scene all help to give the idea of the film and create suspense. The trailer constantly had quick changing shots; adding to the thrill of the film and making it action packed. The changing shots help to keep in line with the film. The trailer shows the outline of the film; showing almost what happens. This is the kind of thing I would be aiming to do - show a little bit, but not the whole story. I feel this leaves the audience in suspense and the trailer of 'Taken' made me actually watch the film because I wanted to know 'What happeneded next'.
