Crime Film Trailer Analysis 1 - 'Snatch'

The first trailer I have decided to look at is for Guy Ritchie's 'Snatch'.

Typical crime elements in the trailer include:

• costume - disguises, smart suits
• props - weapons, jewels, diamonds, cards, safes
• rapid editing
• reference to other crime films
• up-tempo, non-diegetic music
• settings - London (city), gambling house, offices
• typical character types
• tagline references genre
