Batman The Dark Knight Trailer Analysis:

Overview: The dark knight is a famed movie as part of the batman trilogy series, which was released to the public in the year 2008, it is the second movie in this trilogy and was very successful and led to a third movie being made straight after. it made a lot of money at box office approximately around $534 million on only its first weekend, therefore this was a very successful movie, its main focus is centred around batman coming into conflicts with his work life, and his romantic interest in Rachel, as she has made it clear that he cannot have both. it mainly focuses on that, and as batman he must make a number of sacrifices for the greater good of Gotham.

Mise En Scene:  The movie itself is set in Gotham city, this city is a fictional city, however it is actually based on the real city, new York and what it is like during night-time, when it is sprawling with criminals, and all sorts of dangers on the street. we also see scenery such as the dark, deserted buildings at night, as well as the traffic in Gotham at night-time, this scenery mainly portrays the dark dangers of Gotham and it links in well with batman character, who even though he is a hero, he uses violence and intimidation to get his way usually this involves threatening and interrogating villains alike.

we see other scenery such as during the daytime, we see the bank scene at the beginning, we see a lot of money and lots of riches, this connotes that the movie's messages and scenes are about or involve money and lead to corruption, violence and greed as a result of this lust and hunger for money and power. the scenery involves many buildings and in the first scene we see a bank-robbery in which some amateur robbers rob a bank and leap off and abseil the high buildings. the scenery in general shows a rich and elegant economical financial district, in which it would be teeming with criminal activity as a result of the image the city conveys and the aura it gives out. we see many props and costumes used as well such as a clown-mask, this ultimately symbolises the maniacal violence the joker is famous for, and sees many of his killing sprees and anarchy has just nothing more than restoring order or even a simple "joke".

What we find out about the plot: the plot of batman the dark knight involves it being a fantastic sequel to the first movie batman begins. it starts off with a couple of robbers in a car plotting to rob a bank and steal lots of money. afterwards they go into the bank and start killing off each other in order to get a bigger share of the money, while the real joker kills the last of his accomplices, he drives off in a yellow school bus, with the bank manager's head attached to a grenade. afterwards the joker burns the entire amount of money near a bunch of gangsters and forces them to do his bidding, in order to get batman to respond.

meanwhile Bruce is in the bat cave contemplating his latest encounter with the scarecrow, while his mind at the same time being pre-occupied with Harvey dent, and his former girlfriend Rachel. he proposes Harvey a offer to endorse him to be the major, which Rachel is sceptical about, as she considers the past relationship they had. afterwards batman gets ready to intervene in another crime incident involving china, during the course of the time joker kills a dozen people to send batman and the people of Gotham city a message - that they should give up on their "hero", and give him up. afterwards he is interrogated by the batman and then he leaves. overall the events of the film are summed up by one famous line from the film, "you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a villain". What this essentially suggests to us is that fighting crime as long as the batman has could mean that eventually he realises that crime will never stop, and that there is no point and therefore this could corrupt his moral values and his ideals on the sense of justice within Gotham city and everything he strikes towards.

Sound: throughout batman the dark knight it is evident most of the sound is diegetic, with some non-diegetic sounds, most of the diegetic sounds, include gunshots, explosions, and the bat mobile speeding up and crashing through obstacles as well as exploding near the bad guys. some of the non-diegetic sounds include off-screen screams from the people joker kills. the dark knight however doesn't include much background music, most of the scenes are about incredible dialogue, and a amazing script, which has been praised numerous times by critics, Overall it is a breath-taking amazing movie.
