Cinematography

The film trailer ‘American Gangster’ fall under the genre crime and drama. The trailer begins with an establishing shot of the city and then a medium shot of the main character. The medium close up shot of the main character allows the audience to see his appearance in the movie and his facial expression; he gives out a serious look.  The main character is walking and the camera is moving across as he is walking and this also connoted that the movie is based on him or surrounded by him. When the main character is in the bank counting the money the camera is at a low angle and it shows the characters power at that moment. The camera switches from the police man to the main character and this shows the contrast between them.
