Migrain Analasis of Domino Trailer

The first shot we see is a woman in a silhouette which connotes that there is a different person inside and it also represents her dark side.
Digetic sound is important in this trailer as it gives us an insight of the characters involved. In the beginning a man says ‘watch your ass on this one. This quote has a double meaning. It can mean that people need to watch out for this woman as she is dangerous or it can mean that someone’s telling her to watch out which implies that she has support.
In the beginning there is also a close up of a money which connotes that money is an important theme in this film and also near the end there is another shot of money which indicates that money is significant through out the film.
In the beginning we see a child playing with her friends in the playground and the setting is all bright however, when she flicks the coin it becomes all dark and we see a man with a bullet. This implies that money changes things greatly.
Through out this trailer the woman doesn’t smile therefore she is represented as dark and emotionless.
Her hair covers her face which can suggest that she is represented as insecure .
The woman first speaks in the middle of the trailer and this is significant. Through the trailer she is represented as a brave fearless masculine woman who is very violent however when she talks she has a very innocent girly voice which reminds the audience that she is still a woman.
In a specific scene in this trailer, the woman is surrounded by a bunch of men and they are pointing their guns at her. This connotes a patriarchal, male dominant society. Shows that even though she is making a name for herself she is still the ‘second sex’.
Near the end of the trailer we see a bullet on a table and then another bullet follows it which can indicate that this film will have lots of deaths and never ending disaster.
When she is about to punch the guy the music stops which creates tension.
This film will appeal to adults because of the violence especially men as they would appeal to the action side of the film.
In this trailer we don’t see any promiscuous actions which would appeal to the male gaze as it is trying to send the message that woman are not just for pleasure and they don’t fit the stereotypes given to them.
