Influences: Lucky Number Slevin



After searching for other crime/thriller trailer influences I came across 'Lucky number Slevin', which I was particularly drawn to and so thought I would write a post about some of the things I liked.

  • Sound - The start of the trailer is rather unorthodox in comparison to most usual crime/thriller trailers in that the music is quite similar to the sort of soundtrack you would find in a Romantic Comedy. It works extremely well in conjunction with the voice over at the start of the trailer as the soundtrack instantly becomes more menacing despite the peacefulness of the music itself. 
  • The slightly grey tint on the screen is also effective as it creates the feeling of 'the past' and suggests that something 'bad' has happened in the past, which has caused the events of the film itself. 
  • I particularly like the fast paced style of this trailer - fast editing combined with the 'peaceful'
