Léon: The Professional

If I were to re-make the trailer for 'Léon' I would include all the high action moments, particularly scenes involving guns and shooting. These scenes would then be juxtaposed with a narration from Gary Oldman in the scene where he is about to go in and kill Mathilda's father, called the 'Noon' scene.

"I like these calm moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when your put your head to the grass, you can hear them crawling, and you can hear the insects. Do you like Beethoven?"
"Couldn't really say"
"I'm gonna play you some"

The scenes from the movie would be in slow motion and would be paired with a Beethoven track when Oldman isn't speaking. The end of the trailer would fade in with the title:

The Grand Budapest Hotel



A 2014 comedy written and directed by Wes Anderson with cinematographer Robert Yeomen ,where the narrative takes the form of a story within a story within a story within a story.
The majority of the film was filmed in Germany where Anderson shot the film in three aspects ratios: 1.37.1 for the 1930s, 1.85.1 for the 1980s and 2.40.1 for the 1960s.

The 1930s shot include more pinks and reds in the colour palette which are cast over the image creating a harsher light, compared to the 1960s where the colour palette includes more yellows and oranges making the image look softer.

Anderson is known for creating symmetrical frames, particularly in the Grand Budapest Hotel where he shows actual frames in the frame of the shot itself. By having symmetrical shots it meant that groups of people were shown through layering within the frame, creating interesting visuals.
