THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL - Official International Trailer HD

 The opening shot clearly states the production industry's in order to appeal to audiences that follow the many films created by the conglomerate which in this case is,'Warner Brothers'.The scene opens to three men revealed in a medium establishing shot within an elevator at what looks like a hotel due to there uniforms.We (as the consumers) can get the sense of a comedy here because of the costumes as they are brightly coloured and very true as to what we as the audience would imagine a 'Lobby Boy' to be wearing.This sets the tone for quite humorous,fun and enjoyable movie as light music surrounds the scene with is something we would associate with a comedy movie.Immediately in this establishing shot we can see what the audience would expect to see if they were in a sterotypical hotel themselves,which means the production company's have gave the audience a sense of reality and played to the likes of their audience.Although it is not clear within this trailer as to what the genre is, it's more about the style of the early 1900's that comes across within the trailer.

 Throughout watching trailer we can sort of get a sense of a build-up as a story line develops through the use of narration. It is stated from what seems to be the main characters that,
 ''I become his pupil and he was to be my councillor and guardian'',which gives us the impression that their is a sort of parental relationship going on between these characters.This implies the story will be about these two learning off each other,however as this is only 0:38 seconds into the trailer it implies this might be sub-plot to the main story.This mention is then followed by many scenes cut together to shows the lives of the main characters.These scenes still represent a humorous feel which suggests this is still a comedic film.

 The editing throughout has quite fast and shows that a lot of story lines are happening at once and this represents a busy scene throughout this trailer.This represents a comedic feel as many comedy trailers don't want to reveal the jokes and therefore only show brief parts of the movie in order to not reveal the witty feel to the movie.The genre of this film is quite niche and therefore the editing because of it's pace sort of disorientates you as the audience.The editing help us in the trailer to identify the events within the movie which overall is presented in a busy way.

 The problem that develops within this trailer is created through the mention of the police.Now this creates a very different direction for the film rather than the comedy route I had originally anticipated,now with the mention of a murder.The genre changes to crime meaning there is now a hybrid within, 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' genre.The re-literation of the murder by showing a picture creates quite a dark feel to the film and this is again created through the colour scheme. The darkness is again empathised by the very tonal image as previously we had only seen bright and eye-catching colours that suggested humour.The of jail is then tempted as the scenes uses a cut-a-way to show to men trying to escape from jail.The overall obstacle that is presented is the fact that a painting has gone missing and that they need to find it however it also stated that the main character 'Gustav.H' is a suspect in a murder creating a obstacle for the character to overcome and achieve there main goal of finding the painting.These are what looks like the events in which the main characters, 'Gustav.H' and 'The junior lobby boy' have to overcome.
