Murder on the Orient Express

• The production information is shown at the beginning of the trailer
• We open on several establishing shots of the Orient Express - it's snowing, a waiter prepares a table, etc. This sets the scene.
• We are introduced visually to some of the characters having dinner, before Poirot's voiceover begins.
• We see Johnny Depp's sly smile before we cut to black. Wheels screeching and a man screaming can be heard as we flash back in to shots of train wheels, and then to black again.
• We then see a blue intertitle - 'this November'. The blue text mirrors the ice - cold and harsh - and the contents itself tells the audience when they can see the film.
• There is a non-diegetic swell of music and Poirot's voiceover continues over black - 'a passenger has died.' This emphasises this moment. It is interesting that the first half of the trailer is entirely exposition, before we find out what has happened.
• The music changes to a more upbeat and suspenseful piece as Poirot begins his search for the murderer.
• There is a POV shot of Poirot walking down the train, which simultaneously makes the reader empathise with him and also introduces all of the other characters through titles that track them.
• After the man asks 'who are you?', there is another cut to black and swell of music (which adds drama) and a slow pan up as Poirot says his line. 
• After Poirot's line, the music swells and crashes again over the title. Then we see the cast and awards they've won which brings an audience to the film.
