"300" trailer

This is the trailer of “300”. So splendid that took my breath away for the very first scene. Watch it and you will know. I think it is one of the best trailers that has been created for many years. For a trailer, its main purpose is to introduce the film. However, if the trailer were ill-created, the movies would lose a magnificent attraction. The trailer of “300” did its job very well-done, it make views feel the flames of the 300's spirit.

This is the most impressive sentence in the trailer: “A new age has begun- An age of freedom – And all will know – That three hundred Spartan – give their last breath – To defend it. SPARTANS! TONIGHT, WE DIE IN HELL!. It shows the heroic decision of King Leonidas to stand against Persian invasion with a number of soldiers far least than Persian army number. Their last stand though was crushed but still was a success. For a trailer, a sentence like that is very necessary to make view curiosity and strong reaction. Again, this trailer is probably the one of the best trailers for many years.

"300" was a movie about the famous last stand of Spartan against Persian at Thermopylae. Although, the movie is not 100% reconstructed as mere history, it shows what happened at Thermopylae briefly.

In this entry I will present a few techniques that was used in the movie. I know all of this after Lam Dang Son told me and then I read wikipedia.org. "300" was one of my favorite movie, so that I want to write something about it.

Firstly is the chroma-key technique. Every scene in "300" was filmed at a studio Montreal, Canada. There were no cliff, no battlefield and no Thermopylae at all. Everything was computer graphic.

Second is about the camera control technique. It was amazing skill. In the fighting scene between Leonidas, the Spartan King and the Persian soldier, camera movements were magnificent. Let's watch it.

You see? It was amazing. They must have used high-speed camera. In a high speed movement of the actor, the camera managed to zoom in and zoom out amazingly and perfectly timing, focus on his actions. Fascinating.
