This movie poster for Freddy v Jason is almost a typical horror movie trailer. Straight away, the dark colours of black and the smoke effect add a very chilling, dark theme to the poster. This lets us know that the film will be a horror movie as it is a genre indicator. Another genre indicator is the weapons on the poster as they add a threat. The slogan 'Even a killer has something to fear' is a promise of pleasure because it builds anticipation and hooks the audience in. It connects fans of two different cinematic universes to gain higher attention. There is no expert criticism on the poster. This is to make more room for the effect of the visuals on the poster. The costumes of the characters are very famous and recognisable. The font of the writing is something which is generally associated with the horror genre and is red which is a visual code relating to blood. The expression on Freddie's (the character on the left) face is obviously very threatening and aggressive. This tells the audience that they are not in for a rom-com or even a Michael Bay type film, it will be a horror with a lot of violence and anger. All of the elements of this poster have a great effect on getting the audience hooked on wanting to go and see the movie.
The trailer for the 2017 movie, Good Time is great at hooking the audience in. Specifically, it aims to hook the more hardcore type of film watchers in, including the indie lovers. This may come as a shock to the younger audience who were expecting to see another Twilight-type movie with Robert Pattinson the protagonist. The trailer is very dark and shows a lot of the urban life which shows us that it is not going to be a happy movie. This is also portrayed through the characters' (mainly Pattinson's) expressions and the costumes of all of the characters too. The music is a strange choice for this type of movie, although it is definitely not happy. I think the uniqueness of the music and the strangeness of it not being a typical movie trailer song relates to how the movie is so different and unique in itself. Good Time could be put into a few categories including drama, crime and thriller. The drama element is portrayed through the context of the trailer, which is that the protagonist character has to save his brother from prison. The crime and thriller aspects are portrayed through the highlights of criminal and dangerous activity that Pattinson is doing. These are visual codes and genre indicators.
Representation in moving-image media There are many different forms of representation in the media. These can be biased, offensive or stereotypical. There are also many platforms in which these representations can be held within. These include trailers, TV shows and films. These platforms also have their own websites or places that they can be found. For example, trailers and other short clips can be find on one of the most popular websites in the world-YouTube. Youtube is the home of millions of videos and everyone can post them on there. One of the best examples of media on YouTube which represents different things in a certain way are trailers. Sometimes, these show different genders, social classes or races in an unfair way. For example, Bruce Willis faced a lot of accusations for his trailer for his movie 'Death Wish' being racist. With the power of social media, these accusations spread around very quickly and these thing become massive talking points. Similarly, ...
Representation Print based media has a great influence on people’s opinions and views of the different aspects of our society. It can give people biased and negative attitudes towards certain people or groups, as well as positive attitudes to people or things that may not necessarily deserve it. Newspapers, posters, magazines and newsletters can all change people’s opinions and shape the world we live in to their liking. Many would say that they do this for their own figures and their own money income. For example, The Sun previously printed topless ladies on every page 3 of their daily tabloid. These girls were undoubtedly beautiful, which then caused younger girls and even easily influenced women to want to ‘be like them’ in a sense. This obviously lead to them buying products and putting more money into the cash flow. These weren’t the only people that were targeted by this segment, however. Of course, a lot of men liked this and it would have become somewhat of an obsessio...
In this advert, there are many techniques used to make the the advert more effective. For example, it opens with a mid-shot of the child and there is screaming in the background. There is non-digetic music in the background which makes the mood seem depressing. It is also very informing as the information for the charity is on the screen at the end in a clear form.
