THELAST

AIRBENDER

ROMAINE FORD -_-


2/13

The trailer begins with a title screen,

with writing over a dark background,

where the writing has an glowing

effect which has been created usingCGI. There are also moving white

areas on the title screen that seem to

be air which was what made the title

screen entrance, with the non-

diegetic sound of air/wind.There is then a cut to a boy in a circle candles, where

the camera tracking and panning around the outer

circle of the candles. The non-diegetic soundtrack has

started with the opening of a Flute being played, while

the narrator is speaking about him, as his actions are

moving synchronized with the narrators words, where

he uses the air to out some of the

candles, when the narrator saysHes the last of his kind

AIR

The camera then tracks over

the candles and moves in

towards him, as he begins to

train within the circle ofcandles. The narrator continues

to talk about him he continues

to prove himself, as the

narrator calls his kind powerful

as he begins to swing his

weapon, the non-diegeticsound effects

become louder

making it clear that

he is powerful.

Where as the same

time he begins toswing his weapon

the soundtrack gets

more tense with the

sounds of drums

being beating.


4/13

As he goes back into a stance the

sounds of the drums have faded

out and the flute is still playing,which portrays that when he is

still he is calm, as a flute is known

as a wind instrument.

He begins to continue training,

and as he does so the drums are

now being heard once more

within the soundtrack and thenarrator continues to talk about

him, he continuously acting in

sync, as him then being called

the chosen one he puts out

more candles with a gush of

air/wind.


5/13

He then stops his training and rams his weapon in the ground which then rushes up a heap of wind

and puts outs all the candles; the medium close up shot shows how much wind there was as it was

blowing his collar up. And there is then a sudden stop of the drums within the soundtrack as he

stands still and breathes, the flute continues playing throughout the soundtrack.

The medium close up shotstill positioned as he then

reveals himself.

Collar blowing


6/13

There is then a cut to another title scene is shown with the same effects

as the opening title screen letting the viewers when the film is being

released.

Which has made the tempo of the soundtrack speed up.


7/13

Where the trailer has cut to another medium close up parallel in front of the boy as he

seem to be creating wind with his hands which has been edited, and the camera hens to

track back away from the boy, which portrays him pushing you back out into the air, as the

camera continues to track backwards. You can then begin to see that the boy is clearly

isolated living around mountains, with no sight of any other temples when the cameratracks into a establishing shot.


8/13

Once in the air the camera then

starts to pan down the edge of

the cliff of the house where the

boy is, this again shows more

isolation, as the more the camera

pans down, you can see that

there is an ocean there and boats

which look very small because of

the height of which the camera is

at; overlooking clouds.


9/13

The camera then pans right and back

up overlooking the ocean, where

there are boats launching fireballs

towards the temple and some peoplehave started to climb the cliff, which

is also acts with what the narrator

says about people wanting to

destroy him. Meanwhile the

soundtrack has continued to play up

tempo adding more tension to theTrailer.


10/13

There is the a cut to the movie title screen

where one of the fireballs that was

launched was recorded to go into shot

outer shot where it went on to hit the title

of the movie The Last Airbender whichportrays people wanting to burn him.

It seems that he has then again

controlled the air and pushed air onto

the title screen to put out the fire.


11/13

You are then left with the title of the film with the soundtrack not

giving as much tension 3 seconds before not giving much of an tense

felling.


12/13

There is then a cut to the

four final title screens, whichare shown with the final

seconds of the soundtrack

being faded out.
