3 Days to kill film trailer analysis

The trailer starts with an establishing shot of a city. This lets the audience know what kind of place the film is set in. We then see a close up shot of a man loading a gun. This automatically lets the audience know that there will be a lot of action involved. We are then shown three shots all at once on the screen showing different scenes. One is a close up of a man wearing dark sunglasses. Another one is a long shot of  a desk with computers and people standing around them and the last one is a mid shot of a blonde women. Whilst this is being shown a voice is saying 'This team will save thousands of lives'. This suggests to the audience that the three images we can see at the moment are the team that will save thousands. It also gives the audience the impression that this film has something to do with undercover work, particularly because of the man wearing dark sunglasses. Again, we see another three shots all at once. One is a close up of a pair of binoculars and we can see that someone is looking through them. Another is a mid shot of a man waist down holding a briefcase and the other is a long shot of people walking down a street. This still confirms the suspicion that this film has something to do with undercover work of some sort as the binoculars show that perhaps someone is being watched and the focus on the briefcase may have something to do with it. This all creates mystery for the audience. For the next part of the trailer we see a fairly old man completing what looks like a mission. As this part of the trailer begins the non- diegetic music gets slightly more sinister and fast paced. This is to put the audience on edge. We see a close up of the man attach something to the bottom of a car, he then reaches into his bag and puts on a gas mask. Through a mid shot we see him turn around and shoot a gun towards the direction of the camera. The non- diegetic music then gets more fast paced as the man who shot the gun is now taking off in a car and just as the audience expects a high speed car chase to occur the car which the man attached something to blows up. This then makes the audience on edge as they will want to know why this has happened and what is going on. For the next part of the trailer its clear that the man who we saw attaching something to the car does not want to do this anymore and that he wants to spend time with his family. However, it is obvious that it is not going to be as easy as it seems to just stop what he's doing. We see various long shots and close ups of him with his family. However we can see that perhaps there is some tension in the family. This could be because of his job as it is putting a strain on his family.
From the rest of the trailer the audience are made clear that even if he wants to stop working for them he can't. This is because they are offering him a drug which could potentially save his life and if he takes the drug he must continue his work. The non- diegetic music is speeding up just as the scenes are. We see mainly mid shots and long shots of action scenes. This is showing the audience that he has not given up his work and perhaps his family do not know this because of what his wife said earlier in the trailer - 'Are you done working for them?'.
