Develpoed Teaser Analysis 2

The teaser trailer for A Clockwork Orange is highly unusual but still an intelligent and avant garde one. The entire teaser spans 58 seconds and is based around the idea of subliminal messaging which is a direct link to the film's narrative. Just like the character is exposed to images of violence the viewer is exposed to a series of images and words relating to the film and at times repeating certain things to emphasize their importance. Words like 'Witty', 'Satiric', 'Metaphorical' and 'Political' specifically are repeated a number of times. The juxtaposition of these positive words and horrifying images are jarring and leave the observers in a state of disbelief. The teaser's importance surrounds more around being stylistically original and different because of it's well known narrative. The background music to the teaser is also a direct link to the characters taste, he is known to have a special liking to Beethoven. The intelligent and high cultured style of music is oppositional with the teasers choice of jump cut editing, the aggressive way each still jumps make it seem as though the music and editing do not belong together.
