The trailer begins with a long/establishing shot to set the scene and to show us that it shall be about war. The use of the characters walking whilst the posters float down to the floor is effective because it shows us that all of the surroundings has been effected by this war and there is no escape. This makes the audience sympathise with the characters as they fight on to save the country.
A close up is then used to see the saddened soldiers who now have to set the bodies out to float away, knowing that could be them at any point. This is effective because it shows the brutal truth of war.
The use of sound is effective in the trailer when the bombs are set off because it creates tension and also makes the audience worry as we know many of these bombs shall kill people.
The only safety many of these men have are to be under the water when a bomb goes off this is heart wrenching for the audience because we feel sorry for the fact they are put into this line of work at such young ages just to save people like us.
The close up of the freezing cold man as he sits shivering is effective because it makes us have multiple questions and sympathise with him.
The film is set in 1940, many people who survived Dunkirk are still alive today or have relatives that were in the Battle of Dunkirk, by making a film based on the true events it makes a wide range of audiences want to watch the film. The film was released in summer, this is effective because it then means families are able to watch it together and because it isn't set at a particular age range it means more families are likely to see it.
"There's no hiding from this son", this shows us that when the Battle of Dunkirk happened in 1940 young men were forced to fight and there was no escaping from this. This makes the audience want to watch the film to know whether the character gets out alive or not.
The use of editing throughout the trailer is effective because it flashes between scenes to show the audience the intense scenes that shall commence however doesn't give too much away otherwise this would ruin it and they wouldn't go and see the film.
The use of the titles "survival is victory" is powerful because it shows us its not about winning the Battle its about surviving and being able to return to families is most important to them.
When all the men get down together in hope they shall not be hit the use of the mid shot is effective because it shows us how many men could potentially die in any one second.
The trailer ends with the title this is effective because it makes us remember the title of the film which leads on to say it is released in summer 2017 which keeps people interested in watching it.
