Media Coursework
I am going to look at and analyze three film trailers, Chicken run, The tigger movie and Pokemon. I will look at the trailer structure, its presentation devices and how they are used to persuade particular audiences. I will also look at the use of languages and literary devices.
Firstly the genre of all the films is the same, animation/cartoon comedy but the target audiences are different. Chicken Run's target audience is adults and older children, Pokemons is children between7 and 13 and The tigger movie is for younger children but also has a secondary audience of Adults who remember Pooh Bear from their childhood
The colors used In the Chicken Run are dark reds greens and browns which is not as appealing to younger children therefore young children are not this trailers target audience, children tend to like bright colors. Adults may have heard of the big names in the film and may want to see the film for this reason, but children are unlikely to have heard of many of the Actors and actresses and may not therefore want to see the film for this reason. The animation used in chicken run is clay animation, it makes the characters look 3D and more real also the characters are given human features which makes them easier for older people to relate to. The overall atmosphere of the trailer is quite comical but it is an adult humor for the target audience.
I believe Pokemon appeals to children between age 7 and 13. The trailer is full of explosions and bright lights with the scenes changing very rapidly this appeals to all the children who are full of energy. Fighting scenes are used often which again creates violence. This trailer may appeal more to boys rather than girls because of the violence and there are not many girl characters shown in the trailer but the film still might be appealing to girls that don't follow gender stereotype but it won't appeal to many very young children. Fighting also creates suspense to who wins the goody baddy fight.
