Trailer Analysis by Manasseh Dalton-Brown




The text frames in the film trailer ‘The Dark Knight’ are specifically chosen to catch the viewer's eye and tell a story. At the beginning of the trailer the music is very quiet and the first bit of dialogue “There’s a storm coming” this line foreshadows that something dangerous is going to happen. The quietness of the music makes the atmosphere very tense, and also the trailer begins quite slowly to introduce the characters. As the trailer progresses so does the music, which gradually gets louder and a lot more atmospheric creating a very dangerous feeling.  
The scene uses special effects and changes the speed of the scene depending on what is going on. When the fight starts the trailer turns to fast music and it show glimpses of the fight and other scenes of action. There are very few text frames so dialogue from parts of the film are used to drive the story forward

Location planning




Bedroom
We chose this location as the bedroom that will feature in the trailer because it will show the age of the characters, their personalitys and their gender.









Hallway










park
We chose this because we thought it would be fitting as a location for our trailer. In the trailer we show that the pregant teen, might be lonely or upset. Therefore, i think this location is perfect because it is generally quiet and almost stranded at times where know one is about, conveying that she feels alone just like the park.

Magazine Cover Analysis by Manasseh Dalton-Brown



Friends with benefits is a romantic comedy about two friends who make a proposition that will benefit both them, but however both seem to start to break the rules and start to fall for each other. Throughout the film, you can recognise distinct features that would help us to figure out quickly what genre the film is.

In the start of the trailer, it starts with upbeat and fun music which could possibly convey what kind of movie it is. It also starts with quick transitions between two different dates and how much of a disaster they were. Soon after the transitions start to slow down, showing lengthy conversations between the two main characters. This could possibly convey that their lives have changed once meeting each other.
