Lucy trailer analysis
1.
2. Is it a teaser trailer or a theatrical trailer - how do we know?
- We know that this is a theatrical trailer as it is 2minuets long. We
also know it is the real trailer as there is a lot of scene snippets of
the film as well as vital information such as date of launch and
character intertitles.
How does the editing create a narrative.
- The editing creates a narrative in the trailer for example anchoring
the meaning through intertitles an L cuts where a scene uses a
sound of a different scene. Also the sound used creates a narrative
as when quick music and sound effects are added we know that
there is a important part coming up, when there is slow smooth
sounds it shows flash backs of what happened before.
3. What genre signifiers does the trailer use?
- Genre signifiers that are used are the sound, music, editing and
pace. These all connote to the audience into identifying what
genre it is. For example the fast editing pace shows that it is a
action film consisting with quick movements.
What do the audience learn about the actors, directors, producers
of the film and are there any intertextual references.
- The audience see intertextual references to the actors such as
Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman which will give the
audience an overview of how the film may be as if they like their
past films they may also enjoy this film.

5. What is the central image - how does it link with the trailer?
- The central image is the main character in the film. This links very
well to the trailer as the audience will recognise the character in
the poster and the trailer showing it is enigmatic.
What fonts are used - do they synergise with the trailer?
- The fonts used also synergise with the trailer as its clear, bold and
in capital letters.
Would you say that it is a teaser poster or the pre release poster?
- We know this is the pre release poster as it has the title, a tagline
used in the film and the poster and the main actors starring.
