Task 1
In the trailer for Channel 4's 'Deutschland 83' the director uses split screen at the beginning to differentiate the character from when he is in uniform as a soldier compared to when he is undercover as a spy. The director uses split screen here to highlight the two different lives that the character is portrayed to play during the war; as a spy in the west, and as a soldier. in the east. The music used in this part of the trailer seems to be similar to that of a war documentary as it contains orchestral sounds and dramatic notes which add suspense and tension. The dramatic music then fades and blends into a typical 1980's style of electronic music.
The costumes used fit perfectly into the time period and make it easy for the viewer to follow the plot and understand when the character is a soldier or spy. When a soldier, the character is dressed in the army suit with the badges stitched onto the lapels of the blazer. In the trailer you see the character being handed a red Puma t shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of white Adidas trainers. Adidas and Puma are both were both German brands and very popular during the 80's because of their sporty as a well as stylish look incorporating bold colours. When wearing this, the idea for the character is that he fits in to the public and does not look suspect when undercover.
When split screen is being used large white bold writing is used on either side contrasting each other such as; 'east' and 'west', 'over the wall' and 'undercover', and 'soldier' and 'spy'. This is used to contrast and create an opposite to show the complete opposite lifestyles that the character has to live.
