The Girl with All the Gifts - Trailer Analysis

The Girl with all the gifts is a dystopian feature movie that corresponds to a Zombie survival movie. This is evident through the characters and story line. The trailers start off with an establishing shot of what seems to be a prison-like location, while emphasised diegetic sounds of lights turning on is progressed. this is then cut to a close up shot of a young girl, along with the sound of a siren type alarm, thus inferring a prison, as she is shown to withdraw pictures from a wall. this is then cut to an establishing shot of the room, and we are shown an orange hoodie and trousers, which we usually associate the colour orange with prisoners. next to this is a wheelchair, this is contrasted by the fact that she is able to walk. this makes the viewer think that these children are in some sort of captive prison, and have no free will as they are made to sit in a wheelchair and wear orange clothing. we then see a "prison guard" in an army-like jumpsuit yelling and banging on the doors.Stenciled numbers on the door as shown to connote prison and a strict regime, as the prisoners are now identified by numbers. however this is contrasted when the girl we are introduced to, speaks to an elderly woman as she calls her "Melanie".  this is then followed by a shot of two guards holding a gun up against Melanie as she sits in her wheelchair. The perspective of this shot is shown to make the audience feel as if they were in the room, and emphasise the tension. the girl is then locked down to the wheelchair, creating suspense in the trailer and suggesting that something is wrong and that they are in the midst of a post apocalyptic world,
