trailer analysis

I have chosen to analyse the trailer for Rappers Ambition. This is because i thought it was the best one; the camera angels are realy good, the use of camera effects were used well, the lighting fits the trailer well, the music is appropriate and many more reasons why.

The lightin is used well, because in some bits it is dark, this tends to be during the night time, this informs the viewers that here will be some scenes with suspence, and other scenes are shot in daylight, this is to allow you to see what is hapening clearly.

The camera angles are varified. Some are long shot and some are zoomed in. The long shots are used to alow the audience to see everything. The parts that are zoomed in, are used to alow you to see the characters facial expresions at the time- this is to highlite any events that mite take place, take fore example if a character looks angry this makes the audience want to know why he looks angry and makes you want to watch the film,or in a few cases, when someone is writing lyrics on to a piece of paper. This helps you to gain understanding of what happens in the film.

There is a sound track played through out the whole of the trailer. It is a beat to a grime/rap song, this is because it is relevent to the theme of the film, and it is a quite intense beat, this causes tention and makes the viewer want to watch the film.

The length of the trailer is quite short, but long enough to give us information about what the film is about. Some clips that are shown are fast, and some are slow. Most of the time, they are syncronised with the beat of the music in the background. The longer shots tend to be the important ones, for example when a boy picks up a flyer about a rap battle, we see this shot for a long time so that we can understand what is going on, and it gives as an insite on what is going to happen in the film.

There is no narative in the trailer, sometimes you hear dialouge from the charcters, this gives us acknowledgment of what is happening in the film and alows us to build up a story line on our own. At the end there is a voice over, that tells us the name of the film and that it is in cinemas now, this information is said because it helps you to remember the name of the film and so that it is clear that you can go and watch it now.

The language that we here the actors speaking, is london ghetto/slang. This is becuase the film is set in london, in urban areas were slang is spoken, it is used, so that the film appeals to its target audience.

When talking about the mise en scene we can say that, most of the scenes are shhot outside, this indicates that the film involves some form of street life. We also see some clips in a recording booth, this is because the film is about rapping so it is relevent to the theme. Another clip we see is on the train, this shows that the events verified and taken in different places.

There are not alot of props shown in the trailer. One of them is a glass bottle that is thrown. After is has been thrown it is reveresed backwords, this is to make sure that the bottle being thrown was established, good use of camera tricks. They used a glas bottle to show an element of violence, and frustration, this is an indication to the fact that it easy to make it as a rapper.
