The Grey



MISE EN SCENE
Setting and Props
The trailer is set in harsh winter conditions, possibly in the location of Alaska or the Arctic I can gather from the short trailer. Props involved in the trailer include: gun, plane (the crashed plane), walking equipment and the wolves.
Costume, Hair and Make up
The actors are wearing large, thick winter clothing such as big coats, hats and winter boots. The make up has been done to give the impression of frost bite around actors beards, cuts and bruising have been introduced as well from the plane crash. Also the large amount of blood on the corpses that litter the crash site make the viewer believe that realistically this is what it would be like in real life.
Facial expressions and Body language
There is quite a mix of emotions conveyed throughout the trailer. From the shock realisation that the plane is going down, to the anger and determination to defeat the wolves that are attacking. It all adds up to show us that the actors experience quite an ordeal throughout the film.
Lighting and colour
The trailer only really uses the two extremes of lighting and colour in the trailer. The bright white snow enhances the day time shots making it extremely light in some parts. However the lighting has been cleverly done in the night time encounters with the wolves, to make it so dark that you can make out just the eyes of the wolves in some cases, this is extremely effective.
Positioning  of the characters within the frame
Finally, the characters tend to be positioned quite close in to the camera in most shots, A lot of close ups have been used, in order to maximise the show of emotion and facial expression by the actors. They tend to be centre of shot throughout the whole trailer.
