Trailer Analysis.

I chose to analyse the Adulthood trailer as it covers the genre and materials that i am most likely to use in my own production. I can see in the genre that it starts off with no music, or voiceover, and these conventions are most comman in films nowdays. Music used, when used is very upbeat and the song 'kidulthood to adulthood' was obviously made to promote the film, and vice-versa.
Another aspect i noticed was how the 'villain' from the previous film was portrayed in the first clip, and how over the trailer, we can see that he is trying to change is ways, and there is alot that is stopping him being accepted.
Camera movement is very quick, showing clips of old faces alot of 'panning' camera movement. In addition, music changes from the upbeat action type at the start, to a calmer, mealow, almost 'pitiful' song at the end showing the problems the main character goes through.
Lastly, I noticed that the lighting in the trailer is used well, especially at the end where a close up of the main characters face comes into view.
