Legend Trailer Analysis

Legend Trailer Analysis

Legend featuring Tom Hardy is a film all about the Kray twins in the 1960's. The film is based around how the twins ruled London and the struggles that they went through on the rise up to the power that they held. It is also based around Ronnie Kray and the love affair that he has with his wife Francis. This film is in the genre of a gangster crime sort of film. 
It is very clear through the trailer and the stereotypes that the trailer shows that it is going to be a film that has a love story behind it. From the first couple of seconds its clear that this is a gangster film with what the main characters are wearing. We are introduced to both Ronnie and Reggie Kray and they are both being drove around like they are royalty and both wearing very expensive suits showing that they are both important and wealthy which are both stereotypes of a gangster films. Also within the trailer there are short clips of fighting scenes with weapons involved as well this shows that this film is also partly a crime film with the fact that we also see that the police are involved at the end trying to track the twins down and arresting them. Normally within gangster films it is all about money and there is a part in the trailer where Ronnie Kray says "we are going to rule London" while there is a clip of bundles of money showing that this is fitting the general stereotypes of a gangster film. The fast intense music also shows that this film is going to be exciting. 
There are many camera angles within the whole trailer but one that I picked out that occurs the most was a low angle shot. This shot was mostly used when either one of the Kray twins were speaking. This shot is used to show the audience who is the powerful one within the trailer and it is very effective. The Kray twins were very powerful people back in the 1960's so using this type of camera angle is perfect. The editing that this trailer uses is very fast pace and at one moment there is a lot happening at once, the editors have done this to create tension and to give the feeling to the audience that they should be on the edge of there seats with excitement. Overall I think that this trailer is extremely effective in all departments.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Trailer Analysis

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Trailer Analysis   After watching the trailer to this well known horror movie it is very clear that the film is aimed at the older generation and that there target audience would not be anyone below the age of 15 as it clearly has a lot of graphic scenes that younger viewers would find very disturbing. So I think that the target audience for this film ranges from the age of 18 up to around 25 as these are the ages where your going to get teenagers and young adults who enjoy watching these type of gory, scary films for the thrill of it. right from the start you can see that it is a typical horror film as you see that the film is based around a group of vulnerable teenagers who are going away for the weekend this is a typical stereotype for horror films because a group of teenagers are easy to use because they could be thought as young and helpless. Normally films use voice overs in their trailers to tell the audience about the story or about credit info...

Digital Technology

Digital Technology The software that I used for the construction of the film that we made was adobe premiere. It was very useful throughout the whole process. It helped us in creating a film that looked professional and not tacky. From right at the beginning it was very easy in finding out how to use the software and when you got the hang of it, you were able to use such things as animations, sounds and cropping clips. We used all three of these in the creation of our film. I did most the editing on our film which meant that it was up to me to make the film look professional. As I did most of the editing it meant that I felt more comfortable using the software adobe premiere. We also used YouTube to upload our film and make people able to watch it whenever they want.  For the creation of our film we didn't actually use much equipment. To do the filming we used my Iphone 5s because we knew that it had just as good quality camera as the cameras provided from the school. We w...

How have I improved my conventions of real media texts?

How have I improved my conventions of real media texts? In this post I will be talking about both my projects and how both of them look like professional media projects. For my first project which was my AS it was not very successful with looking like a real media project. It looked very fake and looked like there was not a lot of care taken with creating the titles for example. There were no animations that were involved in the titles they just appeared on the screen and this made it look really poor and uninteresting. However when it came to creating our A2 project my group made it known to each other that we must make the titles make look more interesting. We done this by adding animations to each one. For example on the first title that came up we used a fade in which meant the title disappeared into the back of the screen. Firstly this made it look very professional yet it also helped our trailer appeal to our audience as it made it look like a mysterious action film. The fac...
