Trailer Inspiration 2 (Broadchurch Series 2)


This is the trailer for the second series of the TV Series Broadchurch:




Like with the first series of Broadchurch, we saw many links in both the trailer and the storyline between Broadchurch series 2 and our film/trailer.

Broadchurch used lots of long distance and establishing shots showing vast countryside/sea and a character. We took inspiration from this, and used a long distance shot of the kidnapper in a field near the house we are using to film in:

These 3 fast cuts we thought were very powerful. They showed how Alec was always thinking of the murdered girl.

We took inspiration from this, and used a similar idea after the title credit in our trailer. Ours shows the constant thought of Esther in her Step-fathers mind:



We also recreated this shot of a punch towards the camera. We developed the shot from the Broadchurch trailer, and used the black of the fist over the camera as a time to cut to the next shot, the chase scene. This way violence/action was used to introduce another scene of violence/action.
