Bullet boy codes and conventions

Narrative - the narrative of Bullet boy is shown in a very basic manner through voice overs and texts shown throughout the trailer to back up and go with the voice overs.
The narrative moment in the trailer in my veiw was the words "one shot" displayed and ashely walters shown with a gun to go with the text.
The trailer shows that the film uses Propp's theory as you can identify ashley walters as the hero, his lover to be the princess, his mum to be the doner,
his freind to be the helper and the police to be the villians.
They also have used binarry opposition in the trailer by showing a child with a gun in several scenes.

Setting - This film is set in London and this can be seen through the scenes during the trailer , also during the trailer they show the awards won or nominated for the film and the awards are British.

Characters - all characters in the trailers are shown in tense scences and no characters is shown in any shape or form happy or with nothing to worry about.
ashley walters is clearly shown as the main character as most the trailer is revolved around him and his fight against avoiding the police.
Other chracter roles in the film arent shown as of more importance as ashley walters although the child shown with the gun really gets the audiences attention as this is something nobody wants to see.

Iconnography - In the trailer I think the gun is used to link to the title of the film "bullet boy". The gun is clearly a major factor in the film and the trailers revolves around this and the tittle suggests so does the film.

Superbad mest 1 analysis

Media forms -This text is a american teen comedy which relates to all the teenage swearing in the scene. the sub genre is high school cteenage comedy and is closley associated with the american hit teenage comedy film american pie.
In this scene of superbad it shows a flashback to seths childhood were his life was changed becuase he was caught drawing penis's and was acused of being possesed by the dick devil.

This scene is set in a school and all characters in the scene are children. narrative moments in the scene would be were he is caught drawing these pictures as this relates to the title of being "Superbad".
In the scene we can see how Propps theory applies to the text as Seth is the hero trying to impress the Princess of the film who he is trying to get and the villian would be the teacher getting him into trouble. levi struas's binary oppositions also applies as the hero seth is caught drawing penis's and that is seen as a bad and corrupt thing.

In the scene children are represented as very imature and this is shown in the clip where the girl is showing screaming becuase she sees the drawings.
The film is shown as a male dominated film as all the lead characters roles are given to male characters and women are just seen as objects in the film this is shown in the clip where the attention is focused on seth and not female roles in the scene. this scene also relates to audience appeals as the need to belong to a group is very apparent in this text, this is shown in the scene where the hero is trying to impress the princess by doing something stupid.

Harry potter trailer questions

1. What aspects of the film are emphasised in the trailer? Why do you think this is?

The main sapect of this trailer amphasised in my veiw is the narrative of this sequel. also to make people aware of the release date of the film . this is shown in the trailer as non diegetic sound (voice overs) from different character makes the narrative very clear and sets up the film. Promoting the film is done through the showing of the date of release .

2. How is the genre of the film established in the film frailer? (refer to the mise-en-scene including editing and sound in addition to visual/symbolic/written iconographies).

I think the main way the genre of the film is shown is through the fast moving trailer in general. This fast moving trailer trailer shows there is action in the film. Another big factor that adds to the genre is the costumes as they are all dressed "wizardary" clothes and are shown flying around on broomsticks.

3. From the information you see/hearon screen only (and not from prior knowledge) who are the target audience of this film and how do you know?

The target audience at first glance seem to be teenagers as the main actors are teenagers themselves and the whole film is based on magic and wizardary and is not normally associated with anyone older than teenagers.

4. How does the trailer show that this film is worth coming to see?

The film trailer through its high graphic and intense scences automatically makes the audience want to come and see the film.

5. Harry Potter & The Order of The Phoenix is obviously a sequal. 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?

Through the main characters voice over during the trailers the narrative is clear and sets up this film for another adventure. As this is a sequel the makers had to make the narrative very clear and do this very well by showing scences of darkness and throw in a glimpse of romance which has not been efore in harry potter films.

6. 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).

1. Wizards

2. People flying around

3. Magic

4. Romance (expected in teen films)

5. Conflict
