'The lost boys' analysed

The trailer starts with a establishing shot and changes to a long and medium close up shot. The establishing shot is useful in setting the atmosphere.From the trailer of 'the lost boys'I would say that the genre of the movie is gangs however the sub genre is friendship and brotherhood. The non-diogetic music gives the trailer a happy upbeat atmosphere however this is disrupted by the type of lyrics used. The lyrics are from the ten commandments.
The words of the soundtrack is already suggesting that something bad is going to happen because one of the lines used is 'thou shalt not kill'.this suggest that someone is going to be killed.At the start of the trailer the soundtrack is suggesting a action movie however this changes when the lyrics comes on.The type of lighting used compared to 'let the right one in' is different.the type of lighting used creating a joyful atmosphere that the audience will find surpriseing  because the setting of the film  doesn't fits the type of action about to take place.
The representation of vampires in the trailer is that vampires are violent because the opening scene shows a group of boys fighting each other. The trailer shows a power struggle between the police and the crimes.
