Male characters are typically dressed in suits, while females wear dresses and jewelry. Victims are surrounded and isolated with eerie sounds and music to build fear.

Teaser trailer analysis
The teaser trailer for Legend provides clues that point to the film being a crime/gangster genre about the real-life British Kray twins. Shots of a police investigation board and increasing violence suggest this. It also introduces the theme of the twins' love and their life of crime in London. The unique selling point is Tom Hardy playing both twin roles. The teaser balances introducing the narrative and building intrigue without revealing too much of the full plot.

Question 1
Both trailers for "Man of Steel" begin with the logos of the production companies fading in. They use a voiceover from the protagonist's father to introduce the character as an outcast and hero. The trailers set the mood through non-diegetic music that changes in tone to reflect the story. While the teaser trailer relies more on visuals alone, the official trailer provides more context through its voiceover. Both trailers effectively portray the story and use music to enhance emotions, though the official trailer gives more information to intrigue viewers.

The mise-en-scene is simple with just a car, knife, and gun, establishing the gangster genre. Dark lighting and suits worn by the characters continue setting the dark tone. Sound starts non-diegetically then becomes diegetic during the sequence. Clean and simple editing transitions between shots. The titling uses a bold white font against a white background, turning red at the end to symbolize the on-screen death.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 2. Get Out Trailer (2017) t โ The trailer begins without music but just dialogue between two characters. โ The next shots show these characters traveling in a car laughing, until a deer hits their windscreen. โ Enhanced sounds of the car losing control and non-diegetic music quickly changes the mood of the trailer. โ Next the titles come in a dark font.
- 3. โ The pace of the trailer changes as more characters are introduced. โ The non-diegetic music is powerful and the use of loud drum beats creates a horror type atmosphere. โ The trailer mostly uses a montage style showing a range of quick shots with dialogue running through.
- 4. Life of Pi (2012) โ The trailer begins at a fast pace showing different shots of a ship- wreck. โ The calming sounds of the water hitting against the ship turns into a sound perspective as underwater shots are used. โ Intertitles show the awards the film has won.
- 5. โ Non-diegetic music changes the atmosphere to be more upbeat and helps the trailer to flow. โ The slow pace of the trailer allows parts of the story to be told. โ Ellipsis is used to show the journey of the character in just a few shots. โ The intertitles stating inspiring messages for example โ a life of hopeโ creates a meaning to the film and creates emotion.
- 6. Mean Girls (2004) โ This trailer begins with a voiceover introducing the main character. โ Voiceover is used heavily in this trailer explaining the dynamic of a high school whilst a montage shows the different areas and social groups of the school. โ Different songs are used throughout the trailer which fit with the shots shown.
- 7. โ Split screen is used to show a conversation between two characters and creates a comical atmosphere. โ Ellipsis shows the main characterโs journey up the social ladder. โ Slow motion is also heavily used in this trailer as it compares the main characters old life style to her now one.
- 8. Pretty Woman (1990) โ The trailer is opened with non-diegetic music. A song called pretty women which fits perfectly with the trailer. โ The shots show in time with the beat of the non- diegetic music. โ The shots are very contrasting as they show the same character looking completely different.
- 9. โ Quick shots of designer brand names show the audience that this film is about the upper class. โ Along with opposite of the main character seeming common shows a comical theme suggesting the main character does not fit in with the world of the story. โ Towards the end of the trailer the pace slows down and longer shots show the main character with a man being romantic this flows well with the song that is played throughout the trailer as the music also slows down.
- 10. Focus (2015) โ The trailer begins with asynchronous soft music which does not match the shot of a scary man driving at full speed and crashing. โ The trailer begins at a slow pace with a voiceover of the main character explaining his difficult criminal lifestyle. โ The shots are mostly in slow motion.
- 11. โ As the female character is introduced the mood of the trailer becomes comical since the main male character and female character begin to bounce off each other and show how well the film flows. โ The inertitiles show the names of the actors โ The non-diegetic music changes to sad slow music and the mood of the trailer changes as emotional and stressful shots are shown. This shows the dynamic of the film and the contrast of different themes of emotion, comedy and action.
