Game of Thrones Screencap Breakdown: Season 7 Finale Trailer

We begin with a fade up from black on the HBO logo while the camera pans up to Grey Worm standing before his Unsullied on the battlefield. A piece of Ramin Djawadi’s evocative piano music plays slowly underneath.

Cut to a wide shot of Grey Worm and his impressive Unsullied battalions. I guess he and his troops found a way out of Casterly Rock. It looks like they’re prepping for a big battle…

A large fleet of Ironborn warships protect the seaward approaches to King’s Landing. Euron Greyjoy’s impressive flagship is at the fore.

Aboard a ship in Daenerys’ armada, Tyrion Lannister gazes grimly at King’s Landing, and at the fleet guarding it. Varys and Theon Greyjoy stand in the background, also looking grim.

Euron seems to be waiting for something, but what? Perhaps they’re just there to make a show of force.

The Dothraki cavalry approach on the hills behind the Unsullied. The forces of Daenerys Targaryen are forming up. They can make a show of force, too.

High in a King’s Landing tower, Bronn and Jaime Lannister eye the enemy forces. Naturally, the Unsullied are in a much tighter formation than the Dothraki.

Bronn and Jaime again, although this time they seem to be looking out across Blackwater Bay. Both of these soldiers know the horrors of war. The grim looks on their faces speak volumes about the slaughter they know is coming if battle is engaged. Can they avoid carnage?

A closeup of the legs of galloping Dothraki horses throws some action into the mix.

The Dothraki cavalry sweep behind a steely-eyed Unsullied soldier in the foreground.

The Dothraki cavalry pass through a gap in the Unsullied line.

Next is a mostly blurred shot of Dothraki cavalry hurtling past the camera.
