Downton abbey

·         Period drama

·         Hardly any dialogue, soundtrack represents the emotion in the scene.

·         “Why are you English so curious about other people’s lives” This raises curiosity in the audiences mind about the characters – enticing them to want to know more.

·         “Secret safe with me”

·         At the end of the trailer “We all have chapters we would rather keep unpublished.” Reinforces the sense of secrecy, something will be revealed. The ambiguity persuades the audience to watch it.

·         Soundtrack – speeds as the pace of the shots quickens – montage shots. Highlights the increase in actions, conflict/issues and fighting evokes emotion and tension in the audience.

·         Emphasis on props/object rather than people

 E.g. long shot of the manor house

        Candles

        Windows/doors – emphasises concealment

·         Multiple close-ups and medium close-ups illustrating the characters expressions and emotions.
