Film Poster Analysis-Batman V Superman

I have decided to analyse the film poster for Batman V Superman. This is due to the film being extremely popular due to the combination of two of the worlds favourite superheroes. I feel this poster is successful due to the colours, lighting, props and positions in which it has used/created. The action and adventure film was very successful during production and distribution as it attracted many fans due to cross media convergence, synergy and advertisement.

The poster is positioned at a fairly low angle, demonstrating the strength and power between the two characters. The side view is also effective as it shows the differences in characters and that they are against each other. The picture itself explains a lot to viewers and doesn't leave audiences confused. The lighting present in the poster is fairly dark and mysterious conforming to the action genre as well as the plot, and types of characters. Both characters are dressed in their costumes positioning audiences to feel excited and engaged. The two completely differ from one another as Batman is dressed very dark and mysterious compared to Superman who is dressed in slightly warmer colours and doesn't hide his full identity. The medium shot enables us to see the characters body language, both characters have tightened fists implying they are ready to fight. This conforms the idea of superhero's and the protagonist as they are prepared to do whatever it takes to help save the world.

The creators of the film poster have profitably combined both symbols together creating an overall symbol of the two. The symbol is presented in red which connotes aggression, violence, death and masculinity. This conforms the genre of action, as the hero/protagonist faces many missions and problems along the way. The symbol implies the two are working as a team, however, the arrangement of the characters tells us something different. I feel this is effective as audiences aren't completely sure how the film will work and if they work together or not.

The title is shown quite small at the bottom of the poster, the font is in block capitals and shining in white, I feel they have done this as the image already explains itself fluently without needing a large title taking up room. The colour of the font helps it stand out amongst the dull background. The release date is also shown on the poster as it permits viewers to understand when looking at the poster without having to go and search the release date.

Action Trailer-The Legend Of Tarzan (2016)

The Legend Of Tarzan is a 2016 American action adventure film.

The trailer opens with an establishing shot immediately setting the location of the film. The soundtrack begins fairly mellow and mysterious conforming to the action genre. As the scene fades to black it cross cuts to a medium shot of leaves and vines being rummaged about by a animal. This connotes wildlife, fear and strength.  We then begin to hear a narrative, who states "The jungle consumes everything", as we see a long shot of mountains with silhouettes standing on top. The fog surrounding the mountains connotes mystery, suspicion and fright conforming to the action genre.

A medium shot is used to introduce the Gorilla's. Impressive CGI effects have been used to get a realistic interpretation of the wild animals. Due to proliferation film companies are able to create these extreme effects with their large budgets. The lighting is fairly dark which makes the Gorillas look aggressive and frighting. There is one strobe of light which makes one Gorilla in particular stand out. CGI and aggressive antagonists conforms to the action genre. The soundtrack still appears as mellow and slow pace to keep the trailer engaging and interesting.

A long shot shows a tree house in the middle of nowhere. Sound effects have been created making sounds of lightning and thunder. This creates a more tense and suspicious atmosphere. The lighting is also extremely dark as it reflects the weather in shot. In editing they create flashes as the shot fades out which successfully reflects lightning. Shot reverse shot is used to show the Gorilla and baby meeting for the first time, the close up shots show their emotions more clearly.
A narrative voice states "He is no normal man" which implies he has many strengths and powers in which everybody else doesn't have.  A fast pace panning shot is then used to show Tarzan running through the jungle and swinging through trees. This demonstrates his bravery and masculinity as he makes his way through the jungle. The soundtrack becomes more powerful as it reflects Tarzan himself.

This close up shot shows the protagonist as muscular, strong and powerful, conforming to the action genre as the protagonist is usually a hero in which saves the world from the antagonist. The lighting continues to stay dark and eerie as he is introduced by name 'Tarzan'. This constructs his character as dominant and vigorous. The soundtrack has become much faster in pace and lower in pitch which suggests something is about to occur. A fast pace panning shot then shows Tarzan swinging through the trees extremely fast demonstrating he is chasing something or trying to save something. A montage of shots shows Tarzan finding Jane which introduces romance into the film. Weapons, violence and aggression are all involved in this montage which reflects the action genre.


As the trailer continues a close up shot shows a Gorilla aggressively roaring into a humans face. The close up is effective as we are able to see the  exceptionally large sharp teeth and the fear in the humans eyes. Sound effects have been created to emphasise the Gorillas roar and what powerful and aggressive creatures they are. There is then a montage of shots which show violence and hostility, including slow pace shots and fast pace shots.

Match on action is then used to show confrontation between Tarzan and a Gorilla. The first glance is a close up shot of the Gorilla where we can see the aggression and strength within him. This positions the audience to feel slightly uneasy about how Tarzan will come out from this. The second shot also shows the Gorilla to an advantage as it throws Tarzan through the jungle. However, the last shot shows a medium shot of Tarzan holding the Gorilla down. The lighting is extremely effective as its creates a dark effect where Tarzan looks like a silhouette. This positions the audience to feel less anxious as Tarzan has overpowered the Gorilla.

The trailer ends with a character explaining through his dialogue "King of the jungle...Tarzan...Tarzan!" We then see a slow motion medium shot of Tarzan and a Gorilla battling it out. The scene then fades to black before we see them reach each other as the directors want to leave audiences engaged and excited. Tarzan is given prevalence as he is the main character and who writers want you to sympathise with and connect with the most. The medium shot is effective in showing their body language, it appears to be strong, masculine, confident and dominant. At this point the soundtrack also becomes more intense as it positions viewers to feel anxious and suspense.

Action Trailer- The Jungle Book (2016)

The Jungle Book is a live-action recreation film of the original animatic disney film. Impressive CGI and new technologies tell the story of Mowgli's journey.

The trailer opens with a fast pace tracking shot moving through the leaves of the jungle. The sound effects created are wind whistles and leaves rustling in the wind. The soundtrack is fairly mellow and mysterious due to it being the beginning of the trailer. As the screen dips to black we are then shown a birds eye view shot of the jungle. There are many trees, vines and rivers which connote to the idea of a jungle and wildlife. Throughout the trailer their is a narrative voice who talks to the audience through their dialogue. From watching the trailer and the way in which they pronounce their words it implies that its the snake. The narrator begins asking questions such as "Are you alone out here?" suggesting she's trying to find out details and if its safe to come out.

There is then a long panning shot of Mowgli standing all alone in the jungle. The lighting appears very dark to create a tense and suspicious atmosphere. The soundtrack also becomes faster in pace and higher in pitch. This positions the audience to expect something may jump out at us or surprise us at any moment. Mowgli is shown to appear as vulnerable through his body language. We are able to understand that he is all alone in the wild and violent jungle. The vines are also used to make the jungle appear scarier and move interesting.

This part of the trailer is where the impressive CGI is first introduced. We are able to see different Wildlife animals which look completely real. Due to proliferation new technologies film industries are able to create these imposing affects. The low angle shot makes the animals which are eye level look fairly less superior compared to the one particular animal which is seen at the top. The lighting has been used effectively to capture the animal making it take most of the attention from audiences. The sounds heard at this point are mainly sound effects of Falcons and Eagles which help create a more agitated and nervous atmosphere.
As the soundtrack drops and becomes louder making audiences jump slightly, a close up shot is used to show a Tiger's step as he makes his way down the rock. We are able to see the graceful movements of the Tiger as it makes its way to the water. The narrative continues as she asks "Don't you know what you are?" implying she is talking to Mowgli. This suggests the snake is confused as to why Mowgli is in the jungle and not in the 'Man Village'.  The Tiger has been created using CGI, and looks very realistic due to the budget in which the film had.

The trailer then fades to black. A loud roar is presented as a medium shot shows a Tiger aggressively roaring at the screen. There is a mixture of lighting and roaring sound effects used to help keep the atmosphere unrelaxed and strained. This gives us a full insight of what the Tiger looks like and the how good the CGI really is in this film. The lighting flashes intending to look like lightning as the screen dips to black. This short scene is fairly scary to get a reaction from viewers and audiences.

There is then a extreme long shot where all we can see is a bright light moving towards the left in the distance. We are also then able to see in the reflection of the water that it's Mowgli who is in fact running through the jungle. The narrative states "I know what you are" implying to the audience that she doesn't think he's a threat, the snake is what's really evil. The soundtrack continues to get louder, more mellow and faster in pace. This conforms to the action genre as it's represented as life-threatining and heroic.

As the trailer continues we see a close up shot of a Panther. The lighting is made really dark so you can only see the fluorescent green eyes. The lighting creates the effect of pursuing the Panther as evil which subverts the qualities of the character 'Bagheera'.  The soundtrack becomes less mellow and softer as we are introduced to the Panther. As the screen fades to black we see a extreme long shot of Mowgli walking through the jungle, Bagheera is behind him demonstrating he is protecting him in the wild. The imposing CGI effects shows how large of a budget the film had.  In this shot the audience are positioned to feel the scene is completely real, however the whole scene is created for our pleasure. The soundtrack becomes calmer and sounds like a jungle, there are animal noises, whistling winds and animal footsteps. A medium shot shows Mowgli on a big bear's back suggesting he has many friends in the jungle in which are protecting him along his journey. The narratives voice then returns explaining "Poor, sweet little cub", this suggests something bad is about to happen including violence and aggressive scenes. We then see a montage of shots showing Mowgli meeting a gigantic orangutan. We see through his facial expressions and body language that he is frightened.

Match on action is used to show Mowgli running through the trees jumping from branch to branch.
the narrative voice states "I'll keep you close" which suggests he's running away from it. As the narrators dialogue suggests "Let go of your fears now"the screen dips to black and the soundtrack drastically increases in volume speed and pitch. A medium shot shows Mowgli standing in thick tall grass where a Tiger Roars pouncing onto him. Sound effect of roaring is used to make it more scary and tense. Match on action is used to show the Panther and Tiger aggressively fighting which conforms to the action genre of a hero and villain.

The narrator's voice then becomes diegetic sound, present in shot. We are introduced to the snake for the first time and positions the audience to feel weary and uneasy. The snake is positioned higher up that Mowgli making it much more powerful and strong. As the snake gets closer to Mowgli and moves in a slithering sneaky way, it suggests through its dialogue "Trust in me". This enables viewers to feel sympathy for Mowgli as we know the snake is evil and cannot be trusted. This conforms to the action genre as it usually involves a protagonist and antagonist along with someone/something needing saving.

There is then a montage of shots showing all the difficulties Mowgli faces on his journey. Including chases, violence, attacks and life-threatning actions. Mowgli is given prevalence throughout as the writers want you to connect with him the most and sympathise with him.

Action Trailer-Furious 7

Furious 7 is an American action film staring all the originals including Vin Diesel. The film includes crime, violence, weapons, cars and technology which all conform to the action genre.

The trailer opens with a medium shot of a character sitting in a car. Through his dialogue he states "Let's get to work" implying they are about to race. The car and walky-talky are all examples of the impressive technology used in action films. The soundtrack is fairly fast pace demonstrating something exciting and thrilling is about to occur. The lighting appears fairly dark and mysterious helping keep the atmosphere tense and the events unreadable. The diegetic sound in shot is all the characters in conversation discussing what they are about to do and how they are going to do it. You can hear by the way they speak some are more nervous than others.

As the soundtrack becomes louder and has occasional outbursts of drops in the tune the lighting becomes much brighter. The camera pans backwards showing the audience all the impressive looking cars and technology. The scene then fades to black as it pans backwards showing an birds eye view of a plane travelling over a desert. This suggests the cars are in the plane and are about to land. Through a characters dialogue we understand they are about to carry out the manoeuvre "Here we go!" as we here this there is a close up shot of a foot pressing down on the accelerator implying to the audience they are about to move.

As the soundtrack mutes, all we the audience can hear is strong whistling winds. This demonstrates how fast the car is traveling through the sky. A low angle shot shows the car falling out the plane in spinning motions. This positions the viewers to feel anxious and nervous. A close up shot shows the character looking tense as he tightens onto the wheel and pushes the parachute button. It looks as if the shot has been made slower in pace to get a better more effective result.

We begin to hear stronger sound effects of winds as the cars are falling out the plane. This establishing shot is effective as it shows all the cars following each other one by one. This implies they work together and trust each other. A montage of shots shows the characters dropping their parachutes and landing on the ground. The diegetic sound is of car revs and metal bashing and braking. A close up shot of a character looking happy and smug as he states "Oh Yeaaaah!" expresses his relief to be safe but also how cool and exhilarating that must have been.

As the cars speed increases and the soundtrack becomes faster in pace it positions the audience to understand something is going to occur. We then see a close up shot of the lorry they are following raise its side and present loaded guns. The trailer cross cuts to a close up shot of one of the characters shout "Oh shhh". This implies they are in danger and there is about to be a lot of violence. Another cross cut shows a close up shot of a hand push a big red button, enabling audiences to realise thats the trigger to release the bullets. Sound effects of gun shots hitting cars are present in shot as we are left to feel they are under attack. The fast pace gun shots and car chasing all conforms the action genre. As Vin diesel shoots spikes into the back of the lorry a close up shot shows him pressing a button enabling him to rip of the back of the lorry. We see a slow motion medium shot of people inside the lorry get thrown about as their is an explosion in the back. The explosion connotes, death, thrill and violence which all relate to the action genre. A close up shot shows a character slam on the breaks suggesting they need to come to a stop, sound effects have been created to get the effective skidding noises.

Match on action is then used to show a character jumping into the lorry to try and save someone. The diegetic sound at this point is of cars accelerating and cars crashing. This is effective as it all relates to the action genre. The character is presented as brave and masculine in the way he jumps to try and save someone. Gun shots are still being fires which connote violence and murder. A close up shot shows the character looking helpful and worried as he explains "I'm gunna get you out of here".

As the trailer continues the lorry flips over and is falling of a cliff. The soundtrack becomes much faster in pace and higher in pitch to get a tense and anxious reaction from viewers. We are able to see the pure determination as the character runs towards safety. The slow motion makes it more effective as you don't know whether he will make it or not. It also drags out time making the audience feel more taut. This conforms the action genre as its very dangerous and life threatning.

As the character makes it to safety and clenches onto the back of a car a close up panning shot shows the speed at which they are traveling in and his pure determination and strength in which he is using to keep himself alive. We leave the slow motion and mellow soundtrack to sound effects presenting acceleration, skids and wheel spins. These all connote thrill and excitement due to the technology and car chases.

There is then a montage of shots where they explain to the audience they are being hunted. This long shot with a faded view of the city is effective as it shows the location and setting of production. Match on action is used to show the characters preparing their armour and weapons as they prepare to fight. Loud and aggressive sound effects have been created to show the guns being loaded and the strength in which they have been locked. Through a characters dialogue he states "One last ride". Shot reverse shot shows the two looking at each other in agreement.







The soundtrack then becomes very upbeat and party music like. A medium shot shows very nice/flash cars speeding past the camera lens as it constantly flashes black then back to the scene. I feel this is very successful in making the trailer more engaging as it becomes more fun and thrilling. A fast pace zoom then presents all the main characters walking down steps towards the camera, the low angle makes them look extremely powerful and superior. It then cross cuts to a car race, a low angle shows the cars looking powerful and forceful. One of the cars is Audi which suggests the film has a very high budget and is looking wealthy and successful. We then see a montage of shots including car chase, gun shots, violence and character conversations.

The trailer finishes with a close up shot of a girl looking scared and worried. The diegetic sound in shot explains "Like it or not, you and your friends are a part of it now". This makes viewers feel sympathy for the characters but also confused in what it means. The main character through his dialogue responds with "I don't have friends, I got family". This makes audiences see that they all work together as a team and support one another. The trailer ends giving Paul Walker prevalence, making audiences connect with him the most. This may be intended as unfortunately he passed away during filming making the director want viewers to understand the pain and sympathise with him the most. Vin Diesel is last to speak also being given prevalence.

Action Trailer-Taken

Taken is a 2008 action thriller film staring Liam Neeson. The storyline is based around a former CIA tracking down his teenage daughter after being kidnapped by human traffickers for sexual slavery while on holiday in France.

The trailer opens showing the audience the relationship between Liam Neeson (Bryan) and his daughter Maggie Grace (Kim). A close up shot has been used showing the two hugging affectionally. You can see Kim smiling happily as she holds on tightly to her father. The characters dialogue confirms their relationship by Kim shouting "Dad!" before hugging him. The present and formal clothing implies they are at a birthday party. From this point the viewers are able to understand that something dramatic will occur due to the genre of film as well as being called 'Taken'.

A cross cut is used is used to change location from the birthday party to an airport. A long shot is used showing Kim and her cousin prepare to fly to France. The security in shot as well as the flight ticket being held by her cousin suggests they are leaving their family and boarding a plane. The sound in shot is still a characters dialogue as Kim begs "Please can I go". Through Bryan's facial expressions we understand he is not keen on the idea as he is a very protective father. We then see a establishing shot of the Eiffel Tower which implies Kim got her way and managed to persuade her father to let her go. A close up shot shows Neeson taking a photograph of the two girls, during editing they managed to flash the scene to black and white to create more tension and anxiousness. This conforms the action genre as the audience are positioned to feel something evil and villainess is about to occur.

The camera then zooms into Kims bag as the diegetic sound present in shot is of a phone ringing. The soundtrack however, becomes much more mellow and frightening. The screen then splits into two different locations, we are positioned to see Kim on the phone to her father. Through a close up shot she quietly states "Theres someone here", we are able to see horror in her eyes as she sees her cousin being attacked.

At this point of the trailer we see both characters looking confused and scared. The split screen is effective in showing both facial expressions. Audiences are able to see both characters and how they are feeling. Through Neeson's dialogue he begins giving Kim orders and directions to getting safe. A montage of shots show her trying to find a safe place to hide. This conforms to the action genre as Neeson becomes a CIA and has to act in a way which may harm people in order to save the people he cares about.

A medium shot shows Kim underneath a bed, the lighting becomes dark to connote scare and fright. The soundtrack becomes quicker in pace creating a tense atmosphere. Her dialogue states "She's here". Neeson's dialogue explains "Their going to take you". Kim facial expressions become extremely horrified as she understands what her father is saying. Neeson is given prevalence as the writers want you to connect with him the most and the audience follow him the whole duration of the film.

A low angle medium shot is used to show Kim being dragged from under the bed. The sound present in shot is only her screams as she reaches for the phone but unfortunately doesn't manage to grab it in time. An editing technique makes the scene flash from white to black, this makes the effect of the event appear more spine-chilling and alarming. Through a montage of shots showing terror but also Neeson's worried facial expressions he states "I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you".  This is a very famous line which many viewers may have already heard before watching the trailer. This conforms the action genre as most action films involve violence, searching, weapons and murder. We are shown violent acts including sound effect of gun shots and punches. There are also many explosions which are traps in which Neeson has successfully avoided when trying to find Kim.

As the trailer comes to an end there is a close up shot of Neeson on the phone, through a characters dialogue the diegetic sound states "Good luck" through a creepy mysterious voice. The soundtrack then finishes with a low and mellow drop which conforms the action genre. Neeson's facial expressions are worried and concerned positioning the audience to see how determined he is to find his daughter and bring her home safe. Neeson is given prevalence in Taken as we are following him the whole time and watching how he saves the day.

Action Trailer- Suicide Squad

Suicide Squad is a 2016 American action film. The film stars famous hollywood actors/actresses including Will Smith, Jared Leto, Cara Delivigne and Margot Robbie. The film is based around the government bringing all the supervillains together to try and save the world.

The trailer opens with a zoom out panning shot of a jail door, as the audience we see the guard closing the spy hole with the character shouting and screaming aggressively. This demonstrates he has done something wrong and illegal. The guard is dressed in protective armour and headwear implying he is a fully equipped professional guard. The soundtrack throughout the trailer is Queen 'Bohemian Rhapsody', conforming to the idea of 'Rock N Roll' and the action genre. The guard is shown giving no sympathy to the criminal as she slowly and slyly closes the spy hole.                                                

We are then shown a medium shot of Harley Quinn sitting crossed legged on her jail bed. The book, pink fluffy slippers, china tea set and pinky up subvert the idea that she is a criminal and doesn't relate to the environment/location she is presented in. We are able to see bars and basic surroundings suggesting in prison there is nothing to do or see. The diegetic sound is of a characters dialogue in the background demanding to be "Let Out!". This helps viewers understand what prison is like and how much people want to get away from it.  The pink and blue in her hair also presents her crazy personality and different and edgy.

Match on action is then used to show Will Smith looking out the little window in his prison cell. The lighting is used effectively to shine onto the character leaving mysterious shadows around his figure. The yellow jumpsuit demonstrates he is a criminal and has committed illegal crimes. Outside the window it is raining helping describe the mood present in shot. The soundtrack continues to play throughout the trailer. Close up shots help show his emotions effectively as depressed and lonely. The over the shoulder shot also shows him looking outside to freedom, freedom in which he doesn't have.

We are then presented with a close up shot of a character covered head to toe in tattoos. This makes his appearance appear as more different and outgoing. We also see him holding fire which implies that he is 'not normal' and can do things not everyone else can do. This puts him at an advantage when committing crimes. The lighting fades to black as he puts the fire out creating more tension and suspense.  It works effectively as the fire is the only source of light present in shot. There is no diegetic sound or dialogue at this moment in time, only the  continued soundtrack which is non-diegetic sound.

We the audience, are then positioned to view the character from a guards perspective. The shot shows a CCTV camera looking into a prisoners cell. It's a close up shot as it shows the character coming extremely close to the camera and through his dialogue shouting at the people on the other side. This demonstrates that prison is for fairly 'weird/damaged' people and can affect them mentally. The trailer has been introducing characters effectively through cross cuts and fades to black. I feel this successfully keeps the audience engaged and excited. 

A cross cut is used to take us to a completely different location which has a huge contrast to the prison. We first see the meeting through a long shot of a window. Rain is streaming down the window conforming to the mood and types of characters in which have been introduced. Through their dialogue we understand that the characters who have been presented to us are "Bad Guys" and "The worst of the worst". From the meeting we get a clear perception that they want to bring together all the criminals and use them to help save the world. 

Through a cross cut we are back at the prison, we see armed guards with many different weapons and defence objects. There are multiple guards presents representing how much back up they need to face the bad guy. They way they beat and attack him implies they have no sympathy or remorse for him. Sound effects are created to emphasise on the beatings to get a bigger effect. A medium shot is used to show this scene as we are able to see the body language of all characters, Will Smith is shown to be weak and in pain compared the guards who look completely in control. 

The non-diegetic sound at this point in the trailer is a characters dialogue/narrative. We are able to understand more about the types of characters in the film. They are described as "Shoots People, Crocodile and Eats People". This positions us to see the types of crimes they have committed and why they are bad guys in the first place. A low angle shot is used to show Will Smith pointing a gun towards us, this makes us look weak and powerless compared to him. A close up shot is used when presenting crocodile as we are able to see the details in his costume. The dark lighting also creates more suspense and excitement. A low angle shot is also used to show the character jump out of the water as it drags someone down. This makes the guard look weak compared to looking superior at first.  The lighting is also very dark, with only a flash light present. This helps keep the location and seeing appear creepy and unstable. 

"Burns People, Possessed by a witch, She's just crazy" are also main characters who have their own different appearances and ways of being criminals. The fire is evolving from the outside to the centre making they characters face take you eye the most. The bright colours of the fire and the fast pace it moves conforms to the genre of a action film. A medium shot shows Cara Delivigne looking creepy and unusual, they imply she is possessed positioning the audience to understand she is mentally damaged. The dark lighting helps with the effect of the possession as its scary and unnatural. Lastly through a close up shot we are shown Margot Robbie laughing and acting strange. She is described as crazy enabling viewers to understand she's a little different and effected. The sound is still non-diegetic and narration over the top of the scene. 

We are then shown Margot Robbie and multiple guards. She is still dressed in a orange jumpsuit implying she is still in prison. Through her dialogue she suggests "The voices are telling me to kill everybody...Im kidding...Thats not what they really said". This effectively helps they audience and guards understand that she is crazy and acts in an unnatural way. The close up shot shows her facial expressions as excited and finding the situation humorous. The guards on the other hand look more nervous and anxious as they are in the company of a mad and insane criminal. 

A tracking shot is used to follow helicopters shooting bullets and light beams into the city. This helps create more excitement as it begins to introduce the genre more clearly being action. The pace starts to increase in the cross cuts of shots and soundtrack. This emphasises on action and created more exhilaration.  We then see ruins of the city and fires in streets. This informs bombs and other types of weapons/destruction are being used. Many action films use these sort of weapons as they are usually based around hero's and villains. 

Harley Quinn portrayed by Margot Robbie is presented as a strong powerful character due to her appearance, angles and dialogue. A low angle shot is used to show her travelling up in a lift. This positions her to look superior and weak compared to everyone below her and us the viewers. Her body language of waving implies sarcasm and humour in her character. This helps her appear as a independent, dynamic and vigorous character. We are then shown a side profile shot of her aiming at something. The quick pace positions her to appear as brave and strapping. The explosions and lights conform to the action genre but also make her look cool and superior. 

An over the shoulder shot shows us a character looking like 'The Joker'. Most of the viewers will know that 'The Joker' is an extremely dangerous villain who is not to be messed with. This links well to the genre of action as the villain is being used to save the world.  He also describes his deadly weapons as "Toys" demonstrating he finds it fun and thrilling to destroy things and murder people. Sound effects have been created to show gun shots, explosions and speeding cars. These all conform to the action genre as all the props and objects are used frequently throughout. 

A high angle shot is used showing 'The Joker' lying in a circle of different weapons including guns and knifes. The diegetic sound at this point is 'The Joker' laughing in hysterics suggesting he enjoys the thrill and pleasure from committing crimes. The camera is zooming out from the shot in a circular motion so the audience can see the quantity of weapons. The high angle also makes him look fairly less superior compared to all the weapons. 

Match on action is used effectively when Will Smith loads his weapon. Impressive sound effects have been created to show the farce motion and way in which he prepares himself for war.  The close up shots are used to show they audience what he is doing and where about he needs to load the gun. The orange jumpsuit still connotes prison and that he is not free. 

The trailer finishes with a montage of shots including explosions, shootings, fire, fighting, damage and excitement. The soundtrack continues throughout with the same song played by Queen. 

The final scene shows Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie smashing into a shop window to steal a handbag. When asked "What the hell is wrong with you?" through her dialogue she responds "We're bad guys, its what we do". Through a medium shot we can see the destruction caused and her body language showing she doesn't care about her actions. Her outfit suggesting 'Daddy's lil nightmare' also connotes she commits crimes and isn't your typical moral person. As the trailer finishes, giving Harley Quinn prevalence viewers are left sympathising and connecting with there the most. She's the last character you are left thinking about persuading you to go and see the film. I feel this trailer is extremely successful with keeping audiences engaged throughout and has made me want to see the film in a cinema.
