comparison to the visual aspect ct of thetrailer as Maximums is being given power

by this loud drumming which is used after every black
screen shot this once again creates questions for theaudience as they merely see the ruler in pain and do
not know how he got in that state, encouraging them
to watch the film and find out.
The shot off the old mans eyes can be symbol that the
future is being written through his eyes, this newemperor and he is afraid. The tension is even more
enhanced through the use of the non-diegetic sound
and is alike a heartbeat which may symbolize the death
of the leader.

assigned leaders face this is important as it explains
his own shock and sorrow.

alone will interest a large amount of
people as their thoughts maybe that
there will be action and drama.

The customs are highlighted which is
highly effective as the film is enjoyed
thanks to its recreation of such an era.

he is a slave.
Although the movie is mainly battles
and violence the use of romanceopens doors for another type of
audience, reason for it being placed in
the trailer.
