Wonder Woman Comic-con trailer analysis



The use of music in the trailer

 In the beginning, the music picks up slowly with choir singing, suggesting divinity, such as a God, which is reminiscent of the use of Greek mythology throughout Wonder Woman. Similarly, whenever the camera pans to the soldier, who is a man, the note the choir is singing goes lower, while it goes higher when ever the scene pans to Diana. This suggests that, as an oppositional view for the typical sexist views of the time, that the woman is higher than the subservient man, who is also physically below her.

On top of this, the introduction of percussion instruments and harsher, metallic sounds as Diana begins to introduce herself into regular life, evokes images of industrial work and regimented army lines, and suggests that 'regular' life is worse off than simpler life on the island where Diana is from.
