For this task i will be anaylsying two different trailers, the first trailer i will be analysing will be Wolverine.
After watching the Wolverine trailer i have seen lots of action and over 110 different snaps however i think the trailer is extremely clever not to give to much away. When Transit was given the job to create the trailer for The Wolverine he was given to main requirements to show in it. Firstly to show the emotional aspect of Wolverine and secondly to tease the audience with the possible enemy that he has to fight against.
On a budjet of $100million the photography started on Monday, July 30, 2012 even though the film is not due for release untill 24/07/2013. The trailer has been shot in some exotic locations that include New South Wales, Botany Bay, Sydney, Japan and Canada.
Cast
Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine: a mutant and member of the X-Men. Jackman, who portrayed the character in the previous X-Men films, also produced the film via his company Seed Productions. Regarding Logan's struggle with slow aging, Jackman said, "He realizes everyone he loves dies, and his whole life is full of pain. So it's better that he just escapes. He can't die really. He just wants to get away from everything."
Jackman stated that he ate six meals a day in preparation for the role. Jackman contacted Dwayne Johnson for some tips on bulking up for the movie. Johnson suggested that for six months, he gain a pound a week, by eating 6,000 calories a day which consisted of "an awful lot of chicken, steak and brown rice".
Hiroyuki Sanada as Shingen Yashida: a character created by Claremont and Miller, who is a Yakuza crime boss and antagonist to Wolverine.
Hal Yamanouchi as Yashida, the head of the Yashida clan to which Shingen belongs.
Tao Okamoto as Mariko Yashida: the daughter of Shingen, who is torn between her love for Logan and her duty to her father Logan is hired to protect Mariko as she becomes threatened by a gangland war between law enforcement and the Yakuza About her character, Okamoto said that Mariko is no pushover and is proficient in karate and knife-throwing.
Rila Fukushima as Yukio one of the deadliest assassins in Shingen’s clan. Fukushima said, "My character's very physical. Yukio and Wolverine have a lot in common. She really takes care of him and he also cares about her." Mangold described Yukio as a lethal fighter who is "both sexy and almost kind of sprung from the anime world."
Will Yun Lee as Kenuichio Harada / Silver Samurai the illegitimate son of Shingen, who possesses the ability to charge his katana with "tachyon energy", which can then cut through almost anything. Lee said that he underwent rigorous sword training for the film.
Brian Tee as Noburo Mori: a corrupt minister of justice who is about to marry Mariko.
Svetlana Khodchenkova as Viper a one-time peer of Wolverine's as well as an enemy, who has an immunity to toxins. About her character, Khodchenkova said "Viper doesn't really have many people that she cares about, most of them she just uses for her own purpose Mangold said, "as her name would imply, she's kind of snakelike," and that Viper views Logan "like a great hunter might view hunting a lion in his quarry."
Famke Janssen as Jean Grey from previous films. Jackman said, "There’s no doubt that the most important relationship in his life is—we’ve seen through the movies—is his relationship with Jean Grey. Yes, we saw her die at the end of X-Men: The Last Stand, but in this movie, she has a presence which I think is vital to the movie, particularly for him confronting the most difficult thing within himself."
The trailer is action packed with over 116 cuts in under 2 and a half minutes with numerous different camera shots throughout. There is also a sound track in the trailer that starts properly around half way through the trailer, the sound track was created by Marco Beltrami who annoced in September 2012 he had singed on to score the film.
