Brand new drama Thirteen from BBC Three: Trailer

Here is the tailer for the BBC Three Drama: Thirteen
I think this trailer is really effective and straight away caught my attention. As a coincidence the show was on throughout whilst we were creating our thriller. Thirteen and our film 'Full Circle' have a similar story line but not one as intense. I have really enjoyed watching the show from start to finish and it has huge amounts of enigma.

This has been created in the trailer by having closeups of her body. For example there is a close-up of her foot in the beginning, where her foot looks dirty and old. This could imply decay and insists she is escaping/running away from the house which we can see in the background. Here straight away we get an insight of what is happening and it is clear to understand.

Next after the closeup scene, 'Ivy' then decides to sprint down the road with the camera then following her, this is really effective and it is evidence she is running away and the loud sound emphasises what is happening.

There is then use of Slow Motion in the next clip where Ivy is in the Police Station and she is being questioned. The use of the slow mo shows she is confused and over whelmed with the questions and in a way implies she is contemplating on her answers, and doesn't give anything away straight away. This is unusual as you would expect a young girl that is escaping being trapped in a cellar for thirteen years, you would think she would want the guy captured straight away.

The use of layering is another technique which is used in the trailer. The use of layering could imply the different stories being discovered and the layers of which are true. It also creates mystification and shows the secrets and lies being told.

The use of the gray colour grading makes a scene in a film feel completely different. Gray is a neutral and balanced colour. It is an emotionless, dull and moody colour with associations with dirt and decay. It is a timeless colour with links to depression and loss. The use of having the gray in comparison to other seems shows intensity and sadness.

Lastly, the use of the Voiceover in a few of the scenes in the trailer makes it feel more intense. It also indicates a personal reaction from the character and lets you see that feel on whats going on. It makes it feel more tense, as you have a rush of scenes being played on screen and then having someone speaking over the top.
