Fatal Attraction Trailer Analysis


The trailer opens with a low pitched noise, that sounds like it could be some sort of wind instrument. This morbid tone is unsettling, we know immediately that the film is not going to be a light hearted comedy. The first three shots are quick, each with cutting dialogue that manages to summarise the fall of the film in seven words; "A look...that lead...to an evening" This is incredibly powerful because we are introduced to the two main characters. This is followed by a shot of the couple sitting having dinner, she is smoking, accusing him of being up for having an affair. It's predictable; we all know what's going to happen next, and that is the irony, everything we expect to happen, happens, but what follows is completely unexpected.. In this clip, she is wearing white, and he is wearing black. This could be linked to how he is the one that is guilty; he's married with a child, he is about to have the affair, where as she is single, no husband or children, just another one night stand.
