User blog:Zathronas/Analysis by an author: Trailer "Black"

Hello and wecome to author analysis. Today's topic:  The trailer Black

This trailer is particularly interesting as it is the only trailer that as of volume 1 has a direct correlation with the series. We start with Blake on a boulder in deep thought. Adam come to tell her it's time and here they go.

They attack a train shipment of dust from the Shnee company. How do I know this? First we see in one of the cab the Shnee logo on some crates. Second, Weiss mentionned a train hijack in episode 15, just look at Blake's reaction to her revelation. She know's that it was the shipment she attacked with Adam.

During the whole trailer you see Blake in a moral quandary where she wants to help but cannot abide the killing of innocents. I've had heated debates on the forum on the signification of this. I feel that this shows Blake cannot be trusted yet as she does not tell the whole truth to her teammates. I was told that she merely didn't have time to say it and was cut off by Weiss which is partially true. But the train shipment comment by Weiss gives me pause. At the end we see Blake literally cutting her ties with white fang.

As for the song which you can find here http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/RWBY_Soundtrack/From_Shadows

The lyrics are very aggresive and shows the feelings that must permeate in the white fang but... isn't it Blake's song? This is the only song on the trailers that doesn't seem to reflect the RWBY character we see in volume 1. So I'm going to ask you the significance of this. I have my own conclusion that I will give you tomorrow.

So for yesterday's question it seem that the Yellow trailer has the favor because it is like Yang, funny and fun which I completely agree. My own best is the Black trailer because it stirs the pot ;) As you'll see

Tomorrow we finish the trailers with the "Yellow" see you then!
