The trailer begins by zooming through space as tense non-diegetic music plays. It then cuts to a rocky planet, zooming out to reveal an egg. Lines appear and come together to spell "Alien". The camera pans down into the ground below the egg as it cracks open and a scream is heard, making the audience wonder what is inside. The trailer uses quick cuts between scenes without providing much context to generate speculation about what will happen, featuring people screaming and fighting as the cat becomes vicious.

1. ALIEN TRAILER
Decontruction

2. ONE
The beginning of this trailer starts off with the
camera zooming through space. Tis goes on for
the first 15 seconds before it cuts to the next
clip. During this time the non diegetic sound in
the background creates tension as the sound
builds up.

3. TWO
The camera then cuts to a rocky planet which
the camera zooms out on. During the next 25
seconds the camera cuts in between shots of
zooming out of the
planet and zooming out from an egg. At the top
lines also begin to appear.

4. THREE
The camera fully zoomed out to show the egg
at this time and we can see that the lines at the
top of the screen actually come together to
read ‘Alien’. The eerie music is continuing in the
background as the camera pans down into the
ground below the egg.

5. FOUR
There is a cracking noise as the egg
cracks and we hear a scream. This
causes the audience to slightly feel
fear as they wonder what is inside the
egg that would make someone
scream…?

6. FIVE
The are a few quick cuts in between different
parts of the film however nothing tells us what
is going to happen. It continues to make us, the
audience, guess and speculate about what is
going to happen. There is also a cat and, lets
face it, who doesn’t love cats?

7. FOUR
Throughout all these cuts there continues
to be a weird high pitch noise which is
kind of like a scream that causes fear. So
then there are some extremely fast quick
cuts barely stopping to let us understand
what is happening. What the audience
can understand is that people were
screaming, rolling around, fighting and
the cat had become vicious.

8. FINAL
 After all the quick cuts the background music just cuts out completely
and some words appear on the screen.
