V for Vendetta trailer analysis



I did not know that this film was actually adapted from a graphic novel until told but i could tell that there was some elements of a graphic novel. The only other graphic novel film i have seen is 300 and i can see that there are similarities due to its provenance. I have not seen this film or read the graphic novel but think it looks appealing to those who are not necessarily graphic novel fans, it appears to add a stylistic quality to the film. It allows those who have read it to appreciate this but also for people who just enjoy it as a film
The use of of costume is very key within this film as the costume of 'V' has a very perfect look, from the glossy mask and boots to the hair cut and cape.I think this is often seen in films like this.
There is one part of the trailer where V throws knives which fly through the air this is an exact scene from the graphic novel, the use of special effects surrounding these knives do reflect the style of a graphic novel.
The use of grey and blue lighting is effective, along with alot of black and red all help the style of this film.
There is a style of narration which goes over the top of the trailer i believe this is also part of the graphic novel transference.
Other elements seem to appear within this trailer such as religion and politics seem an important part with this film.
