12D p2 10/9/13

Choose a feature film that you've watched over the past year (at the cinema or on DVD/TV/online) and particularly enjoyed...

Watch the trailer on YouTube (or another video sharing site) and embed the video on a blog posting on your new blog. (You may need to do some research to find out how to do this).

Analyse the trailer, considering:

- cinematography (camerawork: types of shots used, angles, camera movement...);
- editing (length of shots, changes of pace);
- sound (soundtrack, sound effects, dialogue);
- mise en scene (costume, lighting, props, settings). 

Try to give examples of the techniques used (in the PEE format you'll know from English) and explain how they're effective and encourage audiences to want to watch the film. 

Finally, identify the film's genre (what type of film is it?) and give at least five examples of the conventions it uses that would help audiences recognise it as such. 

Complete for homework for next lesson, Thur 12/9.
