Analysis of film trailer The film trailer I am going to analyse will be marvels avengers. The trailer begins with dfferent scenes of the film and small use of narration.From just watching the trailer once I think any viewer of the trailer will be able to grasp the plot of the film that seems to be a massive superhero adventure film .The trailer starts off selling the viewer different clips of havoc chaos and anarchy of people in distress and others fighting against something .So the first clips shown will intrigue and lure vewers to wonder whats happenng and will make the audience continue to watch the trailer to try and get a better understanding of what they might decide to see.

The prescene of a massive actor like Samuel L Jackson being the first character to really being shown and his narration over the trailer could lead viewers to believe he was has a big role in the movie .The trailer shows the viewers that the film is based on more than 3 people as throughout the trailer several characters are shown and dialogue parts in the trailer. The music in the trailer is upbeat and makes the trailer stand out with the meaning of something powerful and dangerous as well as hard hitting could be included in the film .No taglines or catchphrases have been used in the trailer which I believe the director avoided because the action scenes in the trailer explain a lot about what the film is about without cheesy taglines throughout the trailer.

Throughout the trailer the language and dialogue being used is suitable for the genre which is action adventure as well as the locations ,setting and costumes the characters are wearing .The intended audience from my opinon would be kids, sci fi fans , geeks and people who enjoy action films. Whats effective about this trailer is it lures the viewer to wanting to find out and see more .Furthermore something I realised is that the director left the title of he film to the end which causes anticiptation throughout the trailer to make the audience ask why so many superheroes who have had their own films are all together which the anwser for that possible question is given in the trailer .Moreover the name of the film links up dots and answers a lot of questions and makes sense from what has been said in the dialogue and the scenes that were shown to construct the trailer together.

Film Trailer Analysis Three Musketeers



The three musketeers trailer begins with credits of companys who im guessing were invovled with the production of the film ,which may have been shown to give the viewer an idea and insight on who is behind the film. Following up after clips of the film are shown with narration and dialogue of the film flowing over a instrumental sound that compliments whats happening in the scens aswell as pumping up the audience and causing adranaline which the direrctor has done by heavily rotating a lot of action adventure scenes in the trailer.

The story of the film is also shortly given away through dialogue of the film and narration.the strong seems to be centered around four males in particular fighting for justice trying to defend something as wellas stop something awful and treacous from happening by going to battle with an opposing force that may have a film that will keep the audience awake and wondering what will happen next.Methods I beleive have been used are, there is a lot of buildup towards the fighting scenes with more calm scenes and a tone of narration that amkes you wanna listen to whats being said .The trailer seems to be selling away a concept of good trying to prevvail over evil with all its power no matter how much the threat is.

None of the actors names have been included in the trailer .Which from my opinon has been done so that viewer can concentrate more on and get a grip of the story ,characters dialogue and narration and not be swayed away or covinced to see the film just on the basis of name wise whos in the film .Several shots and scens I beleive were put together to give an emotional effect such as courage ,passion and determination to capture and combine the overall subject matter of the film .Throughout the trailer there are no taglines but there are sentences given given a descriptive messages of what to expect from the film. media type="youtube" key="mQd3MwT2fAM" width="425" height="350"

Film Poster Comparisons

[[image:13permsmedia/imagesCAU723EF.jpg width="355" height="376"]]
= Just taking a first glimpse of the poster from my opinon looks very demonic and devlish as well as very daunting to look at ,the eyes kind of display and give of the feeling like you've been caught or a sense that theirs no escape from the creepy looking pupils of the eyes.The background colour of the poster = = which is a bloody criminson red colour which is extremely effective and may cause you to assume and think blood and violence will be seen a lot throughout the duration of the film .I beleive the poster is uncoventional slightly of the stereotype of an horror movie poster, because it conforms to the fact it freaks you out because it conforms to the fact it freaks you out but draws and captures you in. =

==The 2nd poster is not different but this time has the image of the boy and the distant broken down looking city just by itself which are much larger image wise than the first poster.Although this poster does not have the devlish eyes I dont think the poster appeals and grabs or attracts the eye as much .Furthermore this 2nd poster does have sell lines which definetly used to make you think do the words in capitals resemble the concept and visuals of the film .Overall I prefer the first poster ,reason being it was highly effective interms of creeping people out and leaving people wondering what do the devlish eyes symbolise and what is the director trying to make you feel.==



= = __Group:__ Denai, Lois, Tiffany and Robert __T__ __itle__: 10:1 __Genre__: zombie horror. __Tagline__: When life and death collide, who will survive the ride? __Basic plot:__ Itâ€™s Halloween. Student finds and old book in the school library 'rise of the dead' telling them how to summon the dead. They bring it to their class mateâ€™s attention during an afterschool detention and 5 of them decide to follow the clues to the school basement while the others decide to leave and go home instead. The teens mess around in the basement but their book has conjured up evil and causes the zombies in the area to awaken. The non-believers are met by a mass of zombies as they try to leave the school. The remaining 5 are left to fight in a zombie massacre. __Characterization:__ Zombies will be 5 of the original ten we want to represent different types of characters: The zombies: the logical thinker, Ashley (one of the couples), Dave: the caretaker, Alex: the leader of the pack, The zombie slayers: Stacey: the dumb blonde, Matthew: the Nerd, Icy: Gangster, the teacher the Andrew: other half of the couple. __Mise en scene:__ Location : school (the school basement, the toilets, the attic, the black staircase, the corridors, the classroom) the church cemetery (St Anthonyâ€™s) the park. Lighting: Dark, Chiaroscuro lighting, sepia for when they are reading the book to emphasise its old age. Costume: all in school uniform with individual twists. The dumb blonde will have a short skirt, nerd with glasses, Zombies in ripped and bloody school uniform. Fake blood and special effects make up. Care taker in a jumpsuit. Cinematography/editing: fast motion editing when the zombies are attacking the pupils. Use of titling and point of view tracking to give the effect of zombies following them. Close ups when characters are screaming to express emotion. Resources: weapons found in a school e.g. Brooms, mops, board markers, ruler meters, chairs etc. we will also need actors (around 10 people) computers and editing software and a camcorder. Our influence was the 2008 movie Day of the dead. We are using similar shots and angles we have seen in the movie. Our unique selling point is the fact that it is set inside school; a school is considered a safe place makes the storyline unexpected.

ZOMBIE/SLASHER GENRE REASEARCH

===Zombie is a term used to denote an animated corpse brought back to life by mystical means ,such as witchcraft .the term is often figuratively applied to describe a hypnotized person bereft of consciousness and self awareness ,yet ambulant and able to respond to surrounding stimuli.Since the late 19th century ,zombies have acquired notable popularity ,especially in north American and European folklore .In modern times, the term zombie has been applied to an undead race in horror fiction ,largely drawn from George A Romero' s 1968 film night of the living dead. ===

===The figure of the zombie has appeared several times in fantasy themed ficition and entertainment .In 1932 ,victor halperin directed white ,capitalizing on the same voodoo zombie them as sea brooks book of three years prior ,is often regarded as the first legitimate zombie film ever made and introduced the word zombie to the wider world. ===

===A new version of the zombie ,distinct from that described in Haitian religion has also emerged in popular culture in recent decades .This zombie is taken largely from A Romero' s seminal film the night of the living dead, which was in turn partly inspired by richard mathesons 1954 novel I am legend .The monsters in the film and its sequels , such as dawn of the dead and day of the dead , as well as its many inspired works ,such as return of the living dead and zombie flesh eaters ,are usually hungry for human flesh although return of the living dead introduced === ===the popular concept zombies eating brains .Sometimes they are victims of a fictional pandemic illness causing the dead to reanimate or the living to behave this way ,but often cause is given in the story .Zombie fiction is now a size-able sub genre of horror ,usually describing a breakdown of civilization occurring when the most of the population become flesh eating zombies. ===





=== The masthead conforms to stereotypical conventions of magazine by the placing of the masthead being in the middle at the top of the magazine .Another point to be made is the fact ,the model Hellboy's head cover's some of the masthead shows that the distributors are confident that the name brand of the magazine Empire is known to the public ,so that they don"t have to show the full print of the masthead. ===

=== Font and colour scheme its quite basic just red and white ,white because the background is black so it will stand for the sell lines which is an obvious chice colour .The masthead fits in with the whole concept of the models character and background being Hellboy .So the flames burning each letter shows the consumer that this issue main feature article is about the Hellboy movie. ===

=== From my own opinon there are too many sell lines ,which is not a good thing or bad thing because the model of hellboy has been taken as a close up photograph. So overall the shot of the character is so dominate than anything else on the cover. ===
