Cinematography & Visual Atmosphere
Captured by Norwegian Director of Photography Pål Ulvik Rokseth, the trailer emphasizes authentic medieval lighting. Interiors inside the Tower of London and manorial halls are lit with authentic flickering torchlight and heavy tallow candles, while exterior battle sequences across Kent and London utilize cold, overcast British skies to evoke the harsh physical reality of 1381.
Volker Bertelmann's Original Score
Academy Award winner Volker Bertelmann (All Quiet on the Western Front) constructs an arresting auditory landscape. The trailer eschews generic orchestral crescendos in favor of guttural medieval folk instrumentation, distorted hurdy-gurdy drones, and propulsive percussion that mirrors the footsteps of tens of thousands of marching laborers.
