This shot in the trailer caught my eye because of the scene location and the presence of nobody there. When I first saw this my eye was attracted to the empty swings that were swinging back and forth. My eye was attracted to this because usually on a play ground there is many children, but this shot really emphasizes the word solitude which corresponds to being alone. This shot is an extreme close up and a long shot. It's an extreme close up shot to the very first swing that we see and it becomes a long shot as we can see the objects in the background. I wouldn't consider this shot at eye level, but a show lower then eye level. The symbolic implication of the slowly moving swings is to emphasize once again the main idea of the movie. It is telling us that the group of kids is alone in the world. The color of the swings is black which in my opinion may be some sort of symbol. I think the color black symbolizes destruction and the color black can often connect to death. At funerals most guests wear the color black and that's why i think it symbolizes death.
This shot in the trailer caught my eye because of the lighting and how it reflects that they are alone in the world and its a dark place. When i first saw this my eye was attracted to the "spotlight" on the girl sitting on the floor against the wall with her arms over her knees. The position that the girl is in shows me that she is in emotional pain and I can see through her body language that she is upset. This shot is a long shot because we can see her whole body and the surroundings around her. Also the wall that she is leaning against looks to be a long wall and the depth of it could represent how life is a long road. I would consider this shot to be eye level because if I were standing far away from her i would see the exact same thing as the camera sees in the shot. The symbolic implication of the lonely girl with the spotlight is to once again emphasize the name of the movie "Solitude". Most of the scenes in the trailer that are given to us are to tell us that the group of teens are alone and I also notice that there isn't much of bright colors. Most of the colors are dark colors resembling a dark time and danger. 
This shot caught my eye because of the lighting and the camera angle. What caught my eye was that you could only make out some features of the figure standing on top of what i think to be is a roof. The lighting is coming from behind the figure so you can only see parts of the sides on it. The figure looks to be studly because of the way its standing. Its standing tall and we can see that the body language of the figure reveals to us that it has power and can be dominant. This shot could be a POV, birds eye or long shot. It could be a POV because this shot could be the point of view of someone looking up at the figure from the ground. This shot could be a birds eye view because it could just be the camera looking up at the figure from the ground. And this shot could be a long shot because you can see the roof or wall that the figure is standing on and you can see most of its body and the dark background. From the figure with the lighting coming from behind it looks like the figure is wearing some sort of armor. The symbolic implication of the figure standing on the wall is to show how powerful it will be in the film. The figure standing higher up above everyone else kind of shows us that he is powerful then everyone and everyone else below him is weak and useless.
