Using your learning from last weeks' lesson on film trailers and their purpose watch the trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix and answer the questions below IN FULL SENTENCES NOT BULLET POINTS and give relevant examples and explanations to support your points using appropriate media language:

- What aspects of the film are emphasised in the trailer? Why do you think this is?
- How is the genre of the film established in the film trailer? (refer to the mise-en-scene including editing and sound in addition to visual/symbolic/written iconographies).
- From the information you see/ hear on screen only (and not from prior knowledge) who are the target audience of this film and how do you know?
- How does the trailer show that this film is worth coming to see?
- Harry Potter & The Order of The Phoenix is obviously a sequel. The trailer must ensure the potential audience can understand the film even if they haven't seen the first one. How does it do this?
- Trailers are not 'mini-films'. They are a genre in their own right and have their own set of easily recognisable conventions. List the conventions of film trailers -you should be looking at a list of at least 5 points and up to 10! (1 or 2 is NOT enough)
Work to be completed on paper, typed up and ready for discussion in Wednesday's lesson (17th Dec). Anyone with any outstanding work at this point will be coming back after school to complete it.
