Logan Trailer Analysis



Right at the start of the trailer there is country music being played. This could tell us that the film Logan is filmed out in the country/desert. At the very start we see the word 'Marvel' pop up. This tells us that it is part of the X men franchise. This is a unique selling point by having this included right at the very start because if people have been to see Marvel films before and enjoyed them, they are more than likely going to go and see this film. 


We immediately see a close up of a mans hand and arm. The hand is covered with blood. This could be a genre indicator, indicating that t is an action film. This is when we are first introduced to one of the main characters, this character is Logan. The trailer then cuts to a close up of Logan's face. The hand that was shown was probably Logan's hand at the start as well.. Throughout this scene there is a voice over being played over the music. It gives us a little insight as to what may be included in the film. 


The trailer then cuts to a scene where Logan is standing in a bathroom with both his hands on a sink and yet again both his hands are bloody. It then cuts to medium shot of Logan's back, where we can see the scars all over his back. This is another genre indicator as it could connote fighting. As Logan puts his shirt on his hand is shaking. This could show that he is weak and may not be able to complete the things he needs to be able to complete. This is a high angle shot of him putting his shirt on. 


We are then introduced to two new characters. One being a young girl and the other being an old man. There many medium and close up shots used to show the young girl and one medium shot of the old man lying in a hospital bed. Throughout this scene the music is still being played but with a voice over. This voice over consist of two men having a conversation. 


The editing pace then starts to pick up as the trailer gets more intense. The trailer starts to show men running in with guns, then a car going very fast trying to escape from somewhere. This is where the music starts to pick up making the atmosphere feel more intense. It then moves onto having 3 close ups of Logan, the old man and the young girl. This could show us that they have all formed a bond and are working together. We know that Logan and the little girl have a special bond because towards the end of the trailer it looks like the little girl has been taken and Logan is doing everything in his power to get her back. 


Right at the very end of the trailer there is a medium shot of the young girl and Logan. The young girl comes up and holds Logan's arm. This could show that the little girl has trust in Logan and that they share a very special relationship.

Little Miss Sunshine Trailer Analysis

Little miss sunshine is a comedy film. At the beginning of the trailer, we are shown the production title which is fox, this is one of the first things shown because it may attract the audience as they know that this production company is very popular and makes very successful films. The music in the background is what the audience would expect when watching these types of film, it isn't too slow but then on the other hand its also not too upbeat and fast to flow with the scenes and therefore it is perfect for the way that the trailer is moving. This is effective for the audience because it will give them an insight on what type of pace the film is going to be and what type of mood it is going to set. After the scene of the man and the boy talking, it fades out to add information about the film and the characters and producers, this is effective because it does this every so often throughout the film so it doesn't happen all in one go and its also not too quick so people
