Trailer Review.

               The Tourist

The Tourist was released on the 10^th of December, 2010.  It has an outstanding, my personal favorite cast starring the charming Johnny depp and the stunning Angelia Jolie. The Cast itself is such an attraction to the film that the second I got to know about I I had made my mind to watch it.

It is a PG-13 film and is a fusion of action, romance and mystery. The director and the writer is Florien Heckle von Donnersmark.  The movie revolves around frank, an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart and Elise is an extra ordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. The trailer is outstanding. It starts with telling that the film is approved for appropriate audience by the motion picture association of America. It is a two minute and 20 seconds long trailer. It then tells that it is a sony entertainment production and GK films spy glass presentation.

An extreme wide shot is shown of a lush green area with a train running on its track with a train running on its track with the camera zooming in and blending in with another shot, a mid shotof Angelina Jolie’s head showing that she is walking in the train. The next few shots are of random passengers looking at Angelina in mid shots. In a close up shot of Johnny Depp is shown with Angelina sitting on the seat on his opposite side. A shot reverse shot is taken with both the characters exchanging dialogues, introducing their selves. In the next shot an extreme wide shot and a birds eye view shot is captured to show the city. Fast music is being played through out the trailer which creates excitement for the viewers. Good editing techniques are used. The characters are efficiently established. A lot of fade in and fade out techniques are used.

 A hotel is shown with a rich touch. The lighting is overall very nice. Natural and artificial lights are both used. The set is amazing. The city, Italy is itself such an attraction. The props are according to the theme of the film too. The costumes were outstanding. Angelina ­­

A Brilliant sort of sound bridge is used through out the trailer which tricks the audience very efficiently. The was continuity in the film’s trailer that one could not tell whether where does the shot changes. The technique made the actions seem uninterrupted.

It was an overall amazing trailer. EVERYTHING, and yes I mean EVERYTHING in it made me want to watch the movie!!
