This is intended to entice audiences to watch the full movie to find out what happens. The document also discusses theories of narrative from Bordwell and Thompson on plot and story, and Barthes on action codes and enigma codes. It argues that the trailer effectively uses these techniques and a narrative approach to attract its target audience of 15-24 year olds.
Analysis of similar texts
The document analyzes two movie trailers - The Revenant (2015) and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) - to understand their target audiences, themes, and technical elements. The target audience for both films is identified as 16+ due to their violent content and gritty themes of survival and betrayal. Fast-paced editing, tense music, and explosive action sequences are among the key technical codes used. The unconventional settings and contrasts between music and visuals aim to intrigue audiences and set the films apart. The analysis will help the student create their own thriller trailer that incorporates lessons from these professional examples.

Themes
- 2. DRAMA The first theme that I found when conducting trailer research is that there is a lot of drama within a teaser trailer. For instance within LEGEND there are quite a few scenes of the Kray twins punching. This is something I want to add to our teaser because it should convey the dramatic relationship between the two protagonists. It will also represent the conflict and relationship between the two gangs which should be percieved as unhealthy.
- 3. SUSPENSE This is another key theme because I want to attract the attention of our audience so that they want to go and see the film. To do this the trailer needs to have suspense so that the audience want to know what will happen next. As well as wanting to know what will happen , the audience should also feel connected to the characters because they can relate to a similar situation. Another reason as to why suspense should be added to the trailer is to inform the audience that this film is intended for those who are interested in this period in time and how powerful gangs were as well as the amount of influence they had.
- 4. ACTION Action should be added to the teaser so that the audience know that the film isn’t dull but exciting and action packed. It also informs the audience that the action elements within a trailer represent the larger amount of action within the film. Another benefit of having action within the trailer is that there are either consequences or aggravation , this is also shown in the teaser but follows a different theme I want to hint at. Overall action adds an element that can cause the audience feel excited but also interest as to what is going happen.
- 5. ROMANCE Romance is the theme I want to try and convey through the teaser trailer , this theme is to act mainly for the subplot of the relationship between the protagonist and his rivals younger sister. This theme should be represented in the trailer through the appearance of the female protagonist (The younger sister of the rival gang leader). By adding this theme , the trailer aims to attract an audience that would be interested as to how the relationship between the male and female protagonists develops.
