Definition Of A Magazine
Monday, 9 September 2013
This TV spot was created by Warner Brothers and
Legendary Pictures to promote and advertise the release of the film titled Man
Of Steel.
The
creative techniques used are eerie music, short visual scenes that are shot
using a muted colour scheme and an individual asking questions in a soft but
masculine voice.
This
message could be interpreted as a man being compared to a god like
creature. It starts off with the image
of a man floating in water lit in such a way that all you see is a silhouette
of a man in a Christ like position and the viewer sees it from below which adds
to the effect that he is almost floating above us like a god. The next shot is one of a full face which
reflects innocence and honesty as his face is not hidden and he is opening his
eyes to us. It then moves to a shot of
the character in a white top which symbolises virginity which in turn shows
cleanliness, purity and divinity. These
images all blend to make us believe that perhaps he is a god like
individual. The trailer shows that he is
impervious to the forces of evil which are symbolised by fire and other forms
of destruction. This adds to his god
like status where he is incorruptible because it shows him overcoming these
forces.
The music
score composed by Hans Zimmer starts slowly and softly and sounds similar to a
choir in a church which makes it seem almost heavenly. This adds to the imagery I have already
described which shows a god like individual.
As the trailer progresses the music becomes more forceful with the crashing
of cymbals, leading finally to a single drum beat which symbolises the
end. At the same time the character is asking
questions of the audience in a voice which is not threatening but is smooth with
a hint of vulnerability. The audience
will not have the answers to his questions unless they go to see the film.
The values represented
are goodness, purity, self-reliance, resourcefulness and truth-seeking. Towards the end of the clip of the trailer it
shows the character being with a woman this represents a lifestyle of
relationship and family. The points of
view shown in this clip are from the first person, the main character, who is
narrating throughout. However there is
the religious point of view that is represented through the imagery and the
musical score.
The message
is being sent to entice members of the public to go and see the film. They are being shown an individual who is
vulnerable and who has questions about his purpose in this life but at the same
time is being portrayed as an almost Christ like being.
