I Am Legend
The video I chose was a trailer from the 2007 movie, "I Am Legend". This movie represents disaster in many ways including the epidemic which wiped out the entire city, and the death of the main character's family. This trailer is effective and interesting because it does a good job of giving the viewer a good idea of the main character's pain and lonliness due to his abrupt isolation. I believe this trailer does an exceptional job of engaging the viewer and reeling them in to want to learn more about the journey which ensues.

Great example of a primary source Duan. In fact, I would take up your argument and go further with it and say, specifically, HOW does the director "do a good job of giving the viewer a good idea of the character's pain and loneliness"? What specific techniques or camera framing devices has he used, that makes the trailer so compelling for you?
