Ill Manors trailer analysis



Consider the discussion points from analysing the Ill Manors film trailer in class - then watch it again and answer the questions below on your blog:

1. What are the typical codes and conventions of film trailers - what information is usually provided?
2. How are trailers distributed? 
3. How does the Ill Manors trailer use trailer conventions?
4. Who is the target audience? Does it have a unique selling point or use particular techniques to appeal to the audience? Consider the way the scenes are edited together – does the trailer give away any clues about the narrative? Are the main stars visible in the trailer? Is there information about the director of the film? Is there information about the release date? Is a narrator’s voice-over used? Why?
5. How has the genre of the film been represented through characters, settings, lighting, colour, music/dialogue, camera shots/movements/angles and editing?

The final questions (4 and 5) require you to carry out a detailed analysis like you would for a Section A exam question so make sure you include specific examples from the clip and use correct media terminology. If you are looking for an A grade, try and apply some media theory too. 

If you don't finish in class, finish for homework.
