Previews: Trailer
A Quiet Place: Day One includes examples of the following:
- Big Applesauce: The trailer establishes the location with a wide shot of New York City.
- Foregone Conclusion: As a prequel this is to be expected to some extent. We know that humanity will not deter the alien invasion due to the state of the world in the original film. Furthermore, the fate of Djimon Hounsou's character seems assured, since he appears in A Quiet Place Part II.
- Interquel: A time card in the trailer sets the film at day one of the invasion, around the same time as the prologue in Part II.
- Super Window Jump: One of the last shots in the trailer is of the aliens jumping down through a glass ceiling to chase the protagonists.
