Final Poster

Here is my poster for the film Anonymous. It was a solo task that I completed in order to advertise the film. The dark background and red text is used to exaggerate the horror the film will entail and immediately clarify the genre of the movie.

Sket trailer analysis

The narrative of the trailer is clear through the portrayal of the characters and the location of the scenes shown. We can see that it involves the idea of 'Sisterhood". When the 'new girls' sister is murdered, she goes after the murdered with her new gang of girl friends, they are involved in a lot of crime in the urban areas of London and this helps to set the scene for what to expect in the film

I previously mentioned that the film was made to uncover the life of London's urban areas which is unknown to the rest of the UK, and as soon as the trailer begins and we see establishing shots it is clear that this is the case. In this shot we can see youths sitting around on the streets and being interrogating to someone waking by. This fits in with the stereotype many people would have and already makes the viewer assume how the film will play out.

The music is sharp and quick which keeps up with the initial quickness of the trailer. There are short clips seen during the first section of the trailer which immediately grabs attention. It is effective in showing why the film was made because it allows us as the audience to understand why we would want to engage with the film. We can see immediately the fast pace of the film is sure to keep us focussed and really understand their adaption of the life within London streets.

Overall, i think the trailer is accurate to how the characters are portrayed in the full film and does help give a glimpse as to why the film was made. This will have been because it brings attention to the urban areas of London and allows those who live there to feel relatable by the audience. It is also an interesting chance for other areas of the UK to see this lifestyle and how it contrasts.

Me before you trailer analysis

The trailer for Me Before you was released by Warner Bros. pictures. It was clear from the offset that it was based on a romance novel. The trailer stars Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin. These are two established actors who have worked in series such as The hunger Games and Game of thrones.

As i had previously mentioned in my initial analysis as to why the film was made, it has bought up many issues surrounding disabilities and has meant advocates have spoken against the film. The trailer highlights that this is the reason it has been made by including long shots of the main actor in a wheelchair like the one below. We are drawn to his disability through the use of camera angles. 

Also camera angles in a trailer are only a glimpse into what we expect to see throughout the rest of the film, therefore we rely on these to give away how the characters are portrayed, we see a wide range of angles and lighting which signify he is very depressed and lonely. H is often seen in a mid shot by himself which makes him stand out as lonesome. 

I believe the trailer has portrayed why the film was made because it is now clear that it has shone a light on disability and different areas of the trailer have done this. When the trailer was initially released many were curious as to how the plot would play out, this makes it succesful.
