Trailer Analysis --- The Wolf of Wall Street

Trailer analysis 1 - The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street is a comedy, crime and biography. At the stat of the trailer you immediately know the location because it says  Wolf of wall strret in the title of the film and Wall Street  on a sign post. Then the main Character Jordon Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) tells us how the story started. This gives us a clear idea who he is. This trailer doesn't give you much information on what the film is actually about. All you really know is that he is in charge of a stock market in New York and got 49 Million dollars by the time he turned 26, but you don't really see what the movie is. You don't know if their is a problem with stock market or is he illegally taken all this money, does he not want the money is all a bit hazy. Another problem is you don't know who any of the characters are. You see them several times and they play big parts in the the trailer but you don't know what they have to do with movie. The only character you know is Jordon Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) the main character. There is no voice over the trailer mainly just has scenes from the film. key parts which gives slight hints to what the movie could be about. In between the scenesis writing which say who the director is and who the most famous cast is. Such as from "academy award winning director Martin Scorsese" who is obviously very good and famous director in the business. I aslo belive that soemscenes where unneccary like when the main character is having lunch with another man and they start humming a tune i didnt quite see the point of that part. There were no big graphics that i noticed neither was there any special effects shown. There may be some in the film its hard to tell. Music choosen was very good it went well with the trailer but the problem was that the music has very fast beats to it. This didn't help with the pacing of the trailer there are lots of fast scenes that you barely get a shot of, and the start and the end of the trailer was mainly writing saying who the production company was and when it was coming to cinema because it went so fast you couldn't read it. n the trailer you obviously notice how he happy at the start considering he got 49 million dollars but later on in the trailer you really see the stress get to him and the stress get to everyone else, the music on that really gets your heart pumping you really start to feel the preassure. Another god thing about the trailer is the colours they have chosen the bright yellow background with bold black writing which really pops out to you. It kind of makes you jump a bit when you first watch it. Overall the trailer is very mysterious, but intriguing its mystery makes you want to watch more i believe that's what the producer and director were going for but for some it may be not enough and don't find the trailer to be very good. you can always find more information on the film at IMDB.
