Audience - Our film trailer will be aimed towards males aged 16-24. It is stereotypically males who enjoy the action genre which is usually associated with crime, so we thought it would be best to try and encourage them to go and see our film which can be used through the use of trailers. Our main character is shown to look young because our film is targeted towards a younger audience as they will be more interested with a character that they could relate to.
Media Language - We plan for our trailer to be fast paced featuring lots of shots of the characters and footage from the film. Crime trailers are usually fast paced so it emphasises with the intensity in the film. The shots will be of the locations (such as the school and the office) so it indicates to the audience where it is set. We are trying to find non-copyrighted music to place in our film trailer which will go well with it. The non-diagetic music needs to add tension to the film to add indication that it is a crime film and some of the shots are synced in with the music. The transitions are going to be both quick cuts and fade to blacks. The release date will be shown at the end of the trailer so the audience know that when they can see it.
Representation - The main character is young and male so it will appeal more to that type of audience. It represents the main character using his knowledge, ingenuity and stealth to solve his crimes. It also represents the stereotypical bad guys that our vigilante has to take down. This will build up suspense as the audience will want to the vigilante to succeed in completing his mission.
Genre - The film trailer will pinpoint what is stereotypically used in a crime film such as weapons, drugs, computers (hacking) and detective work so it will indicate to the audience that it is a crime film. If they are interested in this type of genre then they will more than likely want to go and see the film.
Narrative - Because this is a crime film, and the main character is the vigilante who solves crimes. The narrative of the story will be quite easy for the audience to understand. In our trailer we have a scene of the enemy searching through a room for a memory stick so he can hack the system and the main character must use his skills to solve the crime. There is also going to be quick shots of crime occuring in this film trailer which are going to be sub-plots for the film which will then gradually build up to the main storyline.
