Analysis of a foreign language thriller 2:

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo:



In the very beginning of the trailer it starts off with black ink being squirted into water with a white background, which gives the audience a feel that innocence has been tinted with darkness. Then it cuts to a tracking shot of a person on a motor bike driving very quickly, this is obviously done by a tracking shot, there is also very little lighting and the motorbike and motor wear and helmet are all black. This type of mise en scene shows that the black and dark colours show a mysterious and dangerous mood to the audience, it gives the feeling that it’s a dark thriller. Also there is very dramatic non diagetic music which emphasizes that it’s a mystery crime thriller, and the music gets louder and more fast paced with different camera shots of quick editing from a woman running away to a man holding a gun and aiming it at another human being. This once again shows that it’s a fast paced movie with quick editing and fast paced music, with big basses, making it seem more dangerous. There are also a lot of extreme close ups on different actors’ eyes, and this makes it very mysterious because we do not know what they are looking at.
