I.T trailer analysis

I.T

Mise-en-scene

In the first few seconds we get an idea of how the film is going to start, it makes us think whats going to happen, makes us wonder on whos going to be caught next, when georgie goes outside we already know its creepy because of the washed out colours and bland background, it makes us focus on georgie as hes wearing a yellow rain coat.

We also receive a short introduction of everyone who's going to be part of the film and also see who's going to get effected by the film, we can also see glimpses of pennywise the clown where we can see hes got exaggerated human facial parts, which is why most people find clowns creepy and scary.

Sound

The film trailer starts with non diegetic sound where creepy and mysterious music starts playing, it develops rapidly into exciting up beat music when georgie starts playing in the rain, but then it goes silent when he hits his head on the road prop, it suddenly changes into a very creepy and scary music, slowly building up the music and then goes completely silent until Pennywise the clown pops up from the sewerage drain.

Edit

In the film alot of fade ins and outs which could give a creepy effect as we dont know whats going to happen next until we watch the film, Also blank black scenes were used which could make it more creepy as some people are scared of the dark.

Camera
at the beginning of the trailer we get quick sneak peaks of billy making a paper boat, it changes very quickly from the scene to the production company logos, then we get a two shot of Billy and George, which gives us an understanding of the relationship they have with each other.
