Feature
 
Comments
Genre
 
Drama/Thriller
Narrative
 
Based on the historical events of the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III, the kidnappers demand a ransom for his release, for which his grandfather is reluctant to pay. The story follows the negotiations and the time that John Paull Getty III spends imprisoned
Unique Selling Point
 
The film is based on a well-documented historical event, and also features Kevin Spacey as John Paul Getty Senior in heavy makeup to bear a closer resemblance to the famous American Industrialist
Target Audience
 
The Target Audience for the film is clearly a mainstream audience due to being based on a familiar event and featuring a cast of A list actors such as Kevin Spacey and Mark Wahlberg, as well as being directed by the world renowned Ridley Scott of Alien fame.
Music
 
Music in the piece is fast paced, utilising electronic drum beats and a scoring of popular songs edited to the trailer  to convey a tense and thrilling atmosphere.
Shot types/camera angles
 
A variation of camera angles is greatly prominent in the trailer, with several midshots being used to depict John Paul Getty addressing reporters. Tracking shots also place us in the action through following each character’s movements. These tracking shots begin slower in the trailer before the kidnapping but after the kidnapping they get more frantic to connote the actions of the people trying to secure the release of Getty III as they become more desperate.
Pace
 
Editing of the film trailer begins relatively slow paced, depicting Getty III enjoying himself on his holiday but after he is kidnapped the editing becomes much faster paced to convey the general chaos of his mother trying to pay the ransom by asking her father in law for money only for John Paul Getty Sr to refuse.
Dialogue
 
Dialogue in this trailer is mostly between Michelle Williams’ and Mark Wahlberg’s characters, with the two of them discussing the stakes of her son’s kidnapping and Wahlberg promising that “we will get your son out of there). Dialogue is also used with Getty Sr, who responds to “how much are you willing to pay for your grandson’s release?” by saying “nothing”
Voiceover
 
Voiceover is used in the beginning of the Trailer with John Paul Getty III explaining to the audience the importance of being a Getty, explaining the extent of their wealth as being “the richest in the history of the world” and explaining that with their riches they almost live separately from everyone else “it’s almost as if we live on a different planet”, it paints a picture of the family being invincible, which when the voiceover ends is contrasted with Getty III being kidnapped and finally making the family vulnerable
Special Effects
 
Special effects used in this trailer include the heavy makeup that is worn by actor Kevin Spacey in order to resemble the famous industrialist John Paul Getty Sr as well as CGI through the use of a very short explosion in the middle of the trailer covering (presumably) one of the captors of Getty III in rubble
Credits and Intertitles
 
Intertitles and credits used in the trailer very clearly stand out in white against the black background with plain and simple sans serif font that reflects the historical setting of the film, as if you are reading the titles as they appear in a published book (as the film was based on Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Heirs of J. Paul Getty
