Analysing Film Trailers
Film trailers encode their texts with signifiers so the audience will know what type of film it is in a short space of time. You are now going to watch a selection of film trailers and explain how they have been encoded to communicates the genre. You should make notes as you watch them, then write a paragraph explaining how you know what genre the trailer belongs to. Remember to use the word genre signifier throughout. You should think about:
- Music
- Setting/location
- Costumes
- Props
- Pace of edit (how fast the shots are put together)
- Shot selection (what type of shots are in the trailer)
