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
