The trailer for the film Source Code is set at a completely different pace to the first two and a half minutes of the movie. The clips are fast moving, with each clip lasting no longer than around 2 seconds. This builds up excitement and draws the audience in, with each shot being of explosions, running or shouting. The fast pace is also due to the fact that the story line to the entire film needs to be explained in a trailer lasting only two to two and a half minutes.
Analyzing the trailer in this way helps me to get an idea of how to build up drama quickly for the opening of MY thriller movie opening, as well as how to perfect the mise en scene etc.
