Research- Kill Bill

Kill Bill is the fourth film by Quentin Tarintino , starring Uma Thurman. Originally conceived as one film, it was released in two separate volumes due to its running time of four hours. The movie is an epic-length revenge drama, with influences from earlier film genres, such as hong kong martial arts movies, exploitation movies and Italian westerns .

The lead character, 'The Bride,' was a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, lead by her lover 'Bill.' Upon realizing she was pregnant with Bill's child, 'The Bride' decided to escape her life as a killer. She fled to Texas, met a young man, and on the day of their wedding was gunned down by an angry and jealous Bill. Four years later, 'The Bride' wakes from a coma, and discovers her baby is gone. She, then, decides to seek revenge upon the five people who destroyed her life and killed her baby.

The film was renowned for its over the top violence dramatic blood effects.

The teaser trailer for kill Bill begins in darkness with the sound effect of a plane coming closer, starting quiet and increasing in volume until you see the image of a plane flying over a city. The sound preceding the visual element of the advert draws the potential audience of that advert in the same way the domino teaser trailer did with the dark obscured shapes.

this advert is broken up by black screens with imposing yellow font, the colour yellow holds connotations of femininity and courage (originating from Japan) which are used throughout the film e.g. in the heroines costume, the colour of the walls in two of the main fight scenes and the detailing on the heroines’ sword, the colour yellow was also used n the advertising as the colour of the DVD cases and posters. We plan to use colours and their connotations in our own movie trailer for example red, symbolising confidence, danger, sexuality, strength, blood and anger. And also black showing death mystery power and elegance. They also use this method to inform the audience that it is a film by Quentin Taratino which will instantly attract follows of this genre of film who are familiar with his movies.

the trailer is packed with a variety of different fight scenes fulfilling the requirements of the generic iconography and attracting the target audience. We are planning to include a number of fight scenes in our own movie trailer; these will have to be planned well and choreographed to reach the believability factor that is required.
