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.
In season 1 and 2 of The Bridge, there is a lot of character building and it sets the tone for the rest of the series. Many conventions that are in ep1 of season 1 remain the same in season 3. For example, one of the most noticeable things straight away is the eeriness of the music. This also compliments the dark lighting that is essentially used throughout the whole show. It makes the show feel very dark. For example, in season 3 episode 1, there is a scene where the lighting in the flaming is all dark, but in the corner of the screen there is blue from a police car bleeding into the frame. The main character of the show, Saga, is a female detective who is very straight to the point. It is suggested that she has autism, though not explicitly mentioned. In season 1, this is contrasted with the Danish male detective who seems to have more empathy and social skills. In season 3, Saga is contrasted with the female Danish detective who seems to be more confident with dealing wit...
Different radio stations suit different audiences. For example, Kerrang is aimed at both young teens who like punk music, and people who listened to that in their teen days. An example of all this the BBC. They are funded by TV licence which is paid for by the audience. Commercial radio is radio that has commercials and runs themselves. An example of this is UK Rock. Their only worry is to stay alive and entertain their audience. Public service radio has somewhat of a duty to fulfil as they are run by the government. The BBC is an example of this. They cannot be politically biased, although many people would argue that they are. Some radio shows have strips which are essentially specific time slots for certain shows, so people know when they are on. BBC Radio 1 BBC Radio 1 is aimed at younger people. It features many songs in the pop or rap genre which would be considered 'trendy'. Radio 1 features many segments such as live lounge, where artists perform ...
Imagine Dragons are a popular American Indie-Rock band who have excelled greatly since 2011. They consist of four members including 30 year old, Dan Reynolds, who is the main vocalist. The band won record of the year in 2014 for their single, Radioactive. Since then, their success has continued and they have 25 million singles in 2017. One of the band's main music videos is for their song 'On Top of the World'. It uses both narrative and thematic settings throughout the video. It is made satirical by exploiting American conspiracy theories. There is a large scene in the video in which it shows the moon landing to be fake in a comedic style. The video also shows diversity and a togetherness of the community by using different social classes and different cultures as the astronauts who 'go to space'. However, it is a little bit contradictory as all of them are white males. However, in terms of culture, there are clear binary opposites amongst the star vehicles. ...
