- the way they have all the trees at the beginning to show that it is a peaceful place
- changes to a place with trees that look dead and in the background what looks like the remains of a castle
- hills with big rocks sticking out the top which could mean that it is at the top of a big mountain
- flat grassy lands with a quite big tree and a small cottage in the back to show that the land has not been touched much around the town
- In the house the celling is low down to show that that people who live in the houses are not the tallest people
- A town that looks as if it were naturally built into the land around it
- Difference in clothing between the dwarfs, Bilbo the hobbit and Gandalf the wizard. Bilbo wears quite plain clothing a pair of trousers and a shirt. While as Gandalf wears what you would picture if you heard the word wizard, a big pointy hat and a look cloak. While as the dwarfs all where different things they look complicated, made out of animal fur for some of it and they all have beards.
Camerawork
- Birds eye view to show how much forest land there still is on middle earth
- An ECU of Gandalf
- camera zooming into a map to show where the place Gandalf is describing is and how it is no where near anything else
- A close up hero shot of the lead dwarf with the rest of the dwarfs behind him

- showing the inside of the mountain to show how dangerous it is
- ECU of Gollem to show how he looks and to show that he my not be the best person in the film
- dramatic exciting sounding music to open whilst Gandlaf is describing the dwarfs and their plan
- change after first titles to a less dramatic music which signifies a change in environment and characteristics in the characters
- another change after lead dwarf says plan and Bilbo has changed his mind about going on the adventure this change could possibly be saying this music is exciting and this is where the trailer now gets exciting.
- drum beat to signify that Bilbo has just realised what Gollem is talking about and is surprised
- another dramatic change in music to signify that it has now become more adventurous
Editing
- starts with a darker shade of green to show that it is the outside world and then changes to a much brighter shade of green to show that it is now in the shire
- bright colours on the inside of Bilbo's home to show that it is safe for him to be there
- the changes from the bright green colour of the shire to a lighter green on the trees and a white colour on the buildings to show that it is now somewhere completely different
- dark colour with only a small bit of light from a fire with monsters to show the danger that Bilbo is no in
- light blue colour to show that it is perhaps on the inside of a mountain or on the very edge of one
- inside of a different mountain with very dark colours and only tiny bits of light to show that it is now in a place that is dangerous to go to and could bring harm to anyone that enters
