Medp 160 Post 2





I am a BIG fan of the God of War game series.
I have chosen this trailer for the upcoming release of the third series in the game.
Gamers (myself included) have waited for this game for over two years. Watching the many game previews and trailers over the past year for this game has peaked my interest for this game tremendously.I WILL be one of the first buyers of this game come March 15th. He is a promoter of chaos and mayhem yet the game player is somehow left rooting for him.

The trailer starts with the weilding of Kratos' main weapon and in the reflection of his knife we see an image of Kratos after he has apparently killed someone or something. That was not really editing in the traditional way that is done in regular film, but instead it was an animation effect and it is done seamlessly and effortlessly. As a media maker I am amazed at the complexity and the attention to intricate details the programmers have put into this trailer.
From hearing Kratos' voice as the narrator of his vengeance the viewer gets a general idea of what he intends to do to whoever stands in his way.
The music that the producers chose to portray the trailer excites the viewer and as it crescends the scene changes to another shot of game play the timing in impeccable and smoothly done.
