What makes a GOOD TRAILER? A good trailer consist of the various good components of a film. These include intriguing clips from the film, synchronous sounds, range of camera angles and shot elements are sounds. Also trailer must contain; release date, title, main actors This is done so that the trailer will attract an audience to watch the film. The narrative of a film should never completely be revealed to an audience – this spoils the plot of the film before it is even seen in theatres. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjWwXdVE60s
Audience Expectations Target Audience The target audience are young adults, who would enjoy light hearted family orientated comedy - as some of the scenes are orientated around Steve Martins Character and the way he runs his family. This film will also appeal who enjoy two different types of comedy. From the trailer Bringing down the house, the audience would expect the film to make them laugh, as the 2 main actors are well established actors, known for their roles comedy and other roles. After watching the trailer, audience will expect these two come together due to a situation that both of them get involved in. In this scene, Charlene is teaching the kid to read, but using inappropriate reading material – this is a funny element, as you would expect Charlene to know better as the adult , and take on more of a motherly role towards the young child.
Codes & Conventions This trailer contains typical codes and conventions of a comedy film. These are: upbeat music to assist the happy, funny comedic side to the storyline, non-diageticsound to accompany humour - the audience should laugh. Dialogue with any background sound. Humorous behaviour Good punch line Witty lines Main plot developed Eugene Levy says to Queen Latifah, “you are straight trippinboo” which is humorous to the audience as this is something he wouldn’t have said, if never meeting her- and out of his character.
Link of images/sound/voiceover Using sound to add emphasises on the zooming in- adds a comical affects, in the clip- the reveal of Charlene to Peter is a shock, as he expected the white female in the picture that Charlene sent him. A comic moment in the scene is when Charlene reveals she is in the picture , but as the one getting arrested in the background. The voiceover, accompanied by clips in the trailer reveals the narrative/plot of the film without completely revealing the plot) – giving us a basic summary of the film and makes us think about what is going to happen in-between scenes. The use of dialogue and low non-diageticsound , allows the audience to be entertain, of where Peter and Charlene meet for the first time. By using match-on-action, straight cuts of a short length of time, keeps the audience engaged in the trailer not having
Is this effective trailer ? Does it tease? I believe that this a successful trailer, because of the comical punch line, that attract the audience into watching the film. Also the company have established the 2 main characters well, who are completely different from each other- it draws the audience to see how they interact with each other.
Stereotypes & Ideology Queen Latifah is female however represented as a typical black male, in the sense she has just been released from prison, and trying to find refuge.
