Settings – Snatch Trailer....Harpreet

The aim of all the characters in the trailer is to gain the diamond. At the beginning of the trailer we see a man who is sitting in a room on his own with dim light and on the phone. This has connotations to a dark secret. During the conversation the man uses a lot of violent language, which reflects the anger and attitude towards the second person (negativity). The person on the other line is in his office finalising the trip to London. This shows that cousin Avi is a professional and both are working towards the same goal. After the introduction of these two men the next scenes involves money, one gives, other snatches, the other robs and finally the last one gambles – cycle of money.
When the director focuses on the diamond there’s a brighter light, this has connotations to something exclusive. Notice before this scene all other scenes are shot in dim light, this builds the tension and excitement amongst the audience. These shots have a extreme-close up so the audience can view the beautiful of the diamond which is why everyone is fighting for it – connotations to the title.
The pace slowly increases and there are quick edits between the introduction of people. The purpose of this is to show the audience who stars in the movie however due to limited time they have to be fast. This builds the suspense as the audience have to remain focused in order to gain a brief introduction to characters as well as the story. During these scenes the sounds become more dramatic which builds excitement amongst the audience – most sounds are non- diagetic as violence isn’t treated with shock but loud and exciting music.
