Kat and Alfie Trailer East Enders

The trailer starts with an establishing shot, showing us the location in which the show will take place and giving us a current view of what the pub looks like so that we are aware of the recent fire that has made the pub inhabitable.

The camera angle here is slanted, along with the sign which appears to have fallen. This suggests that the town itself has become rundown, broken and dysfunctional and that things will continue to go wrong.

A tracking shot is used to show Kat walking, giving the effect that everyone is watching her. Her boots and the loud noise they make when she walks also helps to draw attention to what she is doing.

This over the shoulder shot shows us the fear this character has for Kat, as she is right at the side of the shot, almost trying to hide away, and due to the blinds she hides behind, we can tell that she does not want to be seen by her. 

Although we can tell who she is looking at, we are still not shown Kat which builds up suspense as we wait to find out who this character is. 

A tilt shot is then used, as the camera travels from Kat's feet...

To her face. This happens fairly slowly and really builds up our suspense to find out exactly who the character is. It also allows us to focus on each part of her at a time- i.e. what she is wearing, we see her boots, wonder who would be wearing them and why, we then notice her short skirt, bracelets, poncho, big gold earrings and start to build up the image and personality of this character.

This over the shoulder shot shows the intimidation which Kat possesses. We see her as a dark figure and the characters looking at her with shock and dread.

This close up shot is used to really define the fear and intrigue of the characters as we can very clearly see the expression on their faces from this close up. They are obviously shocked to see her, and we can tell this character's fear from the way in which he hides behind the blind. But the fact he is still looking at her shows he is intrigued as to why she is here. 

This shot focuses us on Kat's actions. With the typical Western scene that is represented here, we expect her to be reaching for a gun and this wonder builds our own personal fear of this character.

We then have a macro shot, where once again we are shown the pub, giving us a clear reminder of the location. We also get to see the reaction of characters which have noticed her from a distance.

An over-the-shoulder shot is used here to clearly show the audience that Kat has noticed Alfie. This is the first time in the extract which we see a character that is not intimidated or feared by Kat. In the previous over the shoulder shot, Kat is portrayed as a very dark and mysterious figure, but when the same shot is used again here, the dark character personality and main focus of the shot has switched to the almost silhouette figure in Kat's view - showing this character also has a high status in the plot of the story.

This shot of looking through Kat's legs, in one which you would typically expect to see in a Western film to portray that both characters are directly facing each other, legs apart, bold and ready for a duel.

We then switch from a close-up shot of Alfie...

To one of Kat. This gives us a close and clear view of the character's expressions and
