The Last Ocean Trailer Analysis
Running to save the last ocean species is the best adventure any human can ever experience besides the challenges that come with it. In June 2012, Fisheye Films brought a trailer ahead of its new documentary that was to be released in September 2012. A group of conservatives joins together in a race to protect the earth's last untouched ocean which is not known to most people, from invaders whose appetite for fish has gone high. This analysis will go through the trailer frame by frame for clues about this narrative of protecting the Earth's last untouched ocean. Before we get started, I would like to assume that we have all watched the trailer and we can now talk about what we found in it.

The producer informs us that the Ross Sea is the most pristine ecosystem on Earth and is located in the Antarctica. We are then taken through what is found in this untouched place of the world. It is interesting to see and hear the producer and other experts give their opinion on these beautiful scenery of the Earth, which is more impersonal, but it is good to see them put effort into protecting this place for the first time in the human history. In the midst of their opinions, we can see and hear animals such as penguins and whales enjoying this place and various scientists visiting them to ensure that they are okay.
And then we jump to a little scary scene of cracks in the ice which in the previous frames was looking fine. The penguins that used to move in this place freely are not seen. And that is when we get into the melting of the ice covering the ocean being cracked and the fish are being fished out of it. Before long we see them being processed ...
