Trailer -
- Slow paced preview of the narrative - Music and sound represents this as it is slow paced and quiet
- Voice over of extract of dialogue from the film
- Selects key scenes from the film but without spoiling the narrative
- On-screen graphics include titles and explanation of the storyline
- Music and scenes remain the same pace throughout although beginning and end are more slowly paced
- Trailer ends when ship enters black hole, therefore leaving the audience with questions unanswered (enigma code)
