Researching Sounds in similar Thriller Film Trailers (part 2)

The Kill Bill volumes, both 1 and 2, tell the same storyline, with the first volume being an establishing and beginning section, whilst the second is the end part of the story. Both are directed by Quentin Tarantino and contain the same actors, providing the people in the first weren't killed.
I thought it would be interesting to continue my research and deconstructions of key sound on a sequel.

Two films from the 2000s (also a sequel):

KILL BILL (Vol. 1)

-          Voiceover - establishes the scene, so that the audiences understand what has happened

-          SFX (weaponry or any destruction of set) - as this film is a Quentin Tarantino film, we know he likes gore, so anything weapon-based indicates that there will be action and as there is so much action in the trailer, it's likely to be the same in the film. it's also very comic book-style and subsequently widens the audience to fans of comics, too.

-          Dialogue - establishes other characters
 

-          Modern music - links us to the modern world so that it makes us try to imagine if this could happen in the real-world

- Some older music, Spanish-classical guitar - it's quite soothing and calm, meaning that there will be some calm bits, in the film

-          High tempo music - returns us to the familiarly fast-paced parts of the movie, shown previously in the trailer

-          Classic, catchy line which sticks in your head (closing line of dialogue) - as it sticks in your head, it will more than likely be something you remember and perhaps make you want to go and see it.

KILL BILL (Vol. 2)

-          Voiceover - establishes what has happened and where the new movie will go in terms of storyline.

-          Music (Spanish classical) - again, it's quite soothing and calm, meaning that there will be some calm bits, in the film

-          SFX (weaponry or any destruction of set) - as this film is a Quentin Tarantino film, we know he likes gore, so anything weapon-based indicates that there will be action and as there is so much action in the trailer, it's likely to be the same in the film. it's also very comic book-style and subsequently widens the audience to fans of comics, too.

-          Voiceover - this shows who the main enemy is of the main character, played by Uma Thurman - eventhough she appears to have many enemies in both films

-          Movie dialogue (played in sync with picture and over pictures as if it was a voiceover)

-          Classic, catchy line which sticks in your head (closing line of dialogue) - as it sticks in your head, it will more than likely be something you remember and perhaps make you want to go and see it.

So, in summary, although they are different parts of an elongated film, they both have a very similar format in terms of sound and they both contain almost exactly the same aspects.
