How film trailers are used to attract an audience.


What aspects of the film are emphasised in the trailer? Why do you think this is?
The actiosn that are being used are emphasised in the trailer you can see this from the body language that the actors are using and not only that but also the soundtrack that is being used in the background including the voiceovers.

How is the genre of the film established in the film trailer?
The genre of the film is established in the film trailer through the sound that is being placed as the director has chosen to use Chirstmas carols and this makes the trailer seem jolly linking is back to the genre. Not only that but also the body language of the actors as they seem to be more relaxed you can also tell by the costumes and make-up as they seem like normal people so that the viewers can relate to the situation going on in the film. High-Key lighting has also been used this lighting is normally used in comedy and romance films so that they are setting the scene of the film. This particular film is Comedy and with all these aspects you can tell what the genre is through the trailer.

From the information you see/ hear on screen who are the target audience of this film and how do you know?
From the information that i have been given from the trailer through what i am seeing and hearing i can tell that the target audience for this film are looked to be teenagers and onwards i think this because they are more likely to understand what is going on and not only that but it is also because of the genre of the film.

How does the trailer show that this film is worth coming to see?
The trailer shows that the film is worth coming to watch because of the scenes that have been used in the trailer as they have decided to use the funny clips to make it seem intresting not only that but the director has also put aside what the film will be about and how the narrative will adapt making the film worth coming to see.
