2. • The film is rated R (15 in the UK) however the trailer has been toned down and
made for all audiences as it can then be shown to a wider audience and can be
accessed online.
3. • Starts by introducing the characters with a establishing shot of the house.
• Gates opening and camera tracking forward represents us as an audience
being welcomed into the characters lives.
4. • The trailer focuses on Alan’s stupidity – using a dramatic non diegetic sound
pause which is then followed by one of Alan’s one liner jokes. This is repeated a
lot of times during the trailer.
• This makes the joke stand out to the audience and is not drowned out by the
soundtrack.
• This is also an alternative to a sound bridge as it connects to the next scene
which sometimes also introduces a new selection of music. This can help to
changed the tempo of the trailer and shape the way it is seen by the audience.
5. • Exaggerated diegetic sound is used in trailers a lot. This creates more excitement
and grabs the audience’s attention.

Vegas. With the typical lit up billboard sign.

represents the far from normal and crazy
adventure they go on.
The recognizable warner brothers logo
draws the attention of the audience and
reassures them the film will be made
professionally.
