Trailer Analysis: Assasin's Creed Lineage - Jason

In this trailer, most of the scenes vary between low-key and high-key lighting. Whenever there is low-key lighting, the setting itself gives off a dark atmosphere. When high-key, the setting seems to be in daylight where not much action is taking place. At the end of the trailer where we see the protagonist walking down, there is much low-key lighting to create a dark atmosphere that connotes danger.
Both diegetic and non-diegetic sounds are used as we hear a soundtrack in the background all throughout while hearing the characters speaking and fighting. The music soundtrack is parallel towards the scenes being displayed as we see much fighting and build up of suspense through dialogue. Many sound bridges are used throughout the trailer as we hear both protagonists speaking to each other as other scenes continue.
Many shots are used varying between close-ups, medium/long shots with slight craning and panning. The predominant type of shot being used are close-ups as we see the main protagonist's face with his weapons. Medium to long shots are used when fight scenes occur along with a slight use with panning. A crane shot is used when we see a man hunched over a dead body.
The mise en scene used here mainly consists of the props and costumes used along with the setting. The types of costumes that are worn resemble clothing mainly worn in the French Renaissance period. Seeing how the setting is set during this period, the clothing confirms this as they seem very different to today's fashion. The props are made up of swords and daggers. Seeing as this movie is of a action genre, the mise en scene fits perfectly and is parallel with every scene.
The editing style used throughout is a fade varying between black and white. The speed of scene transitions is slow at first but then speeds up towards the end when there are different shots of the main protagonist walking down in darkness.
