Video Analysis

The first thing I noticed about the trailer for The Departed was that Scorsese used slow motion in some scenes to show that there was also a serious and sympathetic side to the movie. On the contrary Scorsese also used quick cuts between some of the scenes to portray a sense of suspense and action.

Another thing that I noticed that Martin Scorsese used to capture the audience into seeing his film was the close-ups of each individual important character including Nicholson, Damon, Decaprio, Wahlberg, and Baldwin showing that there is a wide variety of characters and an even wider variety of interesting stories linked to each one.
