At the start of Killer Elite we have the green screen for about 5 seconds. And right from the start we are introduced to te two main characters, one appears to have the upper hand but then we have the start of the action with some complex fighting sequences after which he jumps out of a window still attached to a chai. We the have text saying “Based on a true story”. We then have a phone ringing and some more drama as one of the men as found the other. We haves some hints to the story where we see a picture of an older man the words “he’s like a father” the “if you don’t do this he’s a dead man” Then there are a few snippets of fight scenes just to give the audience a taste of the violence in this film., The trailer then reveals when the film will be released with text. The song then changes to an old school rock theme, fast cuts are then used of car chases, the characters, explosions. The introduction of a heroin. Then in order of roles the actors names in between intense action scenes. I think it is clever how they only use the actors last names because they are already highly established actors so there first name doesn’t even need to be said. We then come to an unexpected end where we have a little comedy line the title of the film, a bit of a fight scene that end with a punch to the groin. I think his is a good ending to the trailer because the unexpected comedy may draw more of an audience to the film.
