Analyzing a trailer

The Expendables

We are told the name of the film near the end of the trailer and the most climatic part of the trailer, this gives the audience a lasting memory of the name of the film.

We are told who is starring in the film because this film has a huger cast of big action movies stars like Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham. This m.is given to us in huge writing bursting into the screen in white on a black background for the most impacting effect. this is going with the genre of the film being a very violent and flamboyant

action film. The reason we are told who is starring int he film is because of the very large cast of massive movies stars. This would bring all the fans from each of them to see this film and also attract action movie fans as it boasts that cast.

We see a large amount of explosions and gunfights in the film so we will be seeing a large amount of gunfights, fires and explosions. This is the ground basis for a good action film, this screengrab clearly sums up most of the action in the film.

This screen grab contains the military vehicle and the rolling soldiers, on the background of the huge explosion. This is just eye candy for the audience to draw them in and give them a taste of spectacular shots like this for the film.

The soundtrack of the film is by a wellknown band of the rock genre called Shinedown. They would bring thier respected fans to watch this film. As well having thier own fanbase, the bands music would suit the films action nature perfectly with the hard rock of their music.
