Children of Men . Alfonso Cuarón . R . 2006
In a post apocalyptic setting, all women have become infertile and Theo, (Clive Owen) as well as the rest of the world has lost hope for the future. His ex wife, Julian, (Julianne Moore) finds him and asks for his help. She has found a pregnant women, and needs to transport her safely to the human project.
The trailer does a very good job of showing the different aspects of a dystopian society and developing a dystopian protagonist by using a combination of film clips and voiceovers. The trailer shows a society with post apocalyptic control. The streets are filled with trash, there are explosions, riots, the overall coloring of the film is grey, giving a general harsh feel to the trailer. Using voiceovers from the main character, the trailer establishes his hopelessness in a world with no future. His ex wife is his catalyst that inspires him to help the pregnant girl.
For my trailer I would like to create a mood, like this one did, by using lighting, music, and other film techniques that I may learn. I also want to have a good balance between character development and development of a dystopian society.
