The Notebook Trailer Analysis

The Notebook Trailer Analysis

The notebook is your typical love story all about a couple that fall deeply in love with each other and because of family situations find it hard to become a couple but then later on in their lives reunite and live happily ever after. The notebook was a best selling film when it was released because of how effective it was to all audiences. Normally the stereotypical audience for a love story is women or girls but with this film it was so good that even men wanted to go and watch the film when it got released in the cinema. The film stars Ryan Gosling a well known actor especially to the women because of his good looks this might of been a reason as to why his name was mentioned in the trailer so that the women audience are then interested and want to watch the film.
From right at the start of the trailer you can easily tell that this film is aimed at women and not men this is simply because of the music that opens the trailer, it is peaceful and the type of music that you will generally stereotype to be used in a romantic film. We are introduced to the main characters straight away  which is a good thing because then the audience can start to relate to them. The trailer takes us on a shorter version of the film so we are shown at the start of the trailer when the couple meet, we are then shown what happened when they had to split up we are shown the difficulties they had to endure and then we are finally shown what happens when they were reunited with each other after being apart for so long. The trailer has many conventions which show that this film is going to be a romantic film first of all as i said in the previous paragraph the music used is a key point as it is clear that the type of music played would not be used in your typical action film trailer. Throughout the trailer the colour red is very noticeable it seems to be the main colour that is portrayed within the film. The colour red connotes love and affection and that is why I believe it has been used so much. Half way through the trailer we can see that the lovers hit a rough patch in their relationship where things start to go wrong, this is stereotypical to happen in a romantic film.

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...
