From observing the film poster we can see that there is only one main character.
She is holding a gun so we can see that there must be some sort of action/ suspense involved.
From the background everything is blurry which suggests that there is a fast pace to the film and a focus on the main character.



The first part of the trailer there is an air of mystery and suspense which goes in keeping with the music. This is where the audience are trying to figure out the storyline and what the film is about.
Then when the story is revealed the tempo of music changes and the typical themes of an action thriller kick in.
There are a number of fast edits, the music and cuts are all in sync and there are voice over’s from  parts of the film.
Even for the same clip, the screen flashes black and back to the picture in time with the music for dramatic effect
The last part of the trailer shows the film title, and finally the last shot  of the main character staring at the audience through a crowd , which can make the audience want to watch the film.
