Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Trailer Analysis - Action

The first shot of the trailer shows a long shot of the protagonist, the music is quiet as they want us to focus on the dialogue, "I have a situation". This dialogue shows that something has or is about to happen, which we see shortly after in the fast paced action of a fight scene, after this there is a sudden point where non-diegetic music starts, showing the audience the typical action film 'badassery', the music is often interrupted by dialogue showing the main scenes throughout the film with the music resuming between cuts. The trailer contains a lot of dialogue, this could suggest that the film is confusing and the dialogue gives the audience parts of it to help them understand the main parts. Towards the end of the trailer the music starts to build up and play over the dialogue, all building up to a dramatic ending where it suddenly stops. The fast paced cuts in the trailer reflect common conventions in action films, along with a lot of explosions and gun fights. Another thing that we commonly see in the action genre is that the villain is often foreign who hires henchmen who are tougher than him
