Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 The removal of the guns in the US trailer seems to me to be a way of trying to not offend US citizens, because it seems Indiana Jones is being captured by what appears to be US soldiers. Perhaps there's US citizens who wouldn't want to see Indy IV if they think the US are portrayed as "bad" in any way, so US soldiers capturing Indy and being hostile to him OR Indy giving US soldiers a reason to capture him might be considered offensive by some. I personally hope there are no REAL US citizens who are so overly patriottic to have a problem with such a thing though. Especially considering the fact that there'll be a good and perfectly reasonable reason for it in the final film. It appears to me the US soldiers are Russians in disguise. The removal/addition of the US flag to the trailer might have a similar reasoning behind it. Whatever the case: I think it is over-the-top and was not necessary whatsoever.Yes, yes, bring on the crazy conspiracy theories.The truth of the matter is simply this:For a movie preview to be approved for all audiences by the MPAA, it is forbidden to show people clearly aiming guns at other people within a shot. You're allowed to show people raising a gun, you're allowed to play the sound of a gun cocking, but you are simply not allowed to clearly show people threatening other people at gunpoint.Hence the change.

This approach to shooting in photographics and cinematography after careful and meticulous setting up of subjects in lighting, framing, camera position and lenses, results in a look and feel that's warmer, more detailed, and natural.
