Crime

The trailer I have decided to analyse is Crime. I like this trailer as it is very informative and gives graphic detail into the life of a drug addict.

Clothing and costumes used were basic but worked very well with the trailer. We as an audience could see right away who the drug addict was from clothing, and the bahaviour and manner he carries with him throughout the film. His clothes were rugged and and dirty which shows the status of the addict (possibly being E class as he is homeless.. or all money earned is funding his drug addiction). Had this been an actual footage shown on Channel 4, the audience it would have been aimed at would be eitha those from the C/B class, or the older teen audience. This could be to inform those less likely to get involved with drugs what it is like, and to explain to teens why not to try or go onto it.
Lighting used is very dim; infact I didn't notice too many special effects in the trailer at all, however the content of the trailer makes up for this. Perhaps the lack of lighting was deliberate, in order to contrast the tnterviewee's feelings about the drug.. Or the drug itself.
Actors used were important, and well executed as they featured a real life drug addict. I believe what separated this from so many other trailers was that the group had gone an extra mile by getting a real life drug addict, which could have been dangerous.
There was no make-up used in the trailer.
Props used; real drugs. this showed the seriousness of the show, and why people shouldn't start it in the first place. It worked well as it shows just how serious the drug actually is.
Setting and scenery is bleak, dark, and dirty. The scenery could be to reflect the badness of the drug, or the person that uses it.

Radio, TV Series, and Film analysis

The works I decided to analyse were Double Income (Radio Platform), Goodnight Sweetheart (TV Series), and Big Mommas House 2 (Film). I chose these as they all featured a husband and wife that have alot of friends and are sometimes influenced by them.

CLIP ON GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART.. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tyzXynhQ42U
Goodnight Sweetheart was a very successful BBC sitcom which was aired between 1993 and 1999. The show was about a middle aged man who figures that he has the ability to travel between the WWII.. And the present day. Made by BBC
It shows him interacting with his family and being very popular amoungst friends.
CLIP ON DOUBLE INCOME, NO KIDS YET.. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_O6Lv5Ys8tU
Double Income was a radio sitcom aired in 2001-2003 and was very successful with good listener figures. The lead character was David Tennant (also known as 'the doctor' in doctor who). The sitcom is about a couple who are popular with friends, and try to evade having children.. children ends up finding them soon enough though. Made by BBC
CLIP ON BIGMOMMAS HOUSE.. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0a5K4G9Yyso
Lastly, Big Momma's House. Although it seems a far-fetched combination of comedies, B.M.H also features a couple that are well known and easily swayed by friends opinions. Even when Martin Lawrence plays 'Big Momma', he is well known, and is popular amongst friends. He too is in a relationship. Made by fox

There wasn't an official site for Big Mommas House 2.. But this has the gross income made for the film, and other aspects.

This was where i found a poster for Goodnight Sweetheart..

And there were no posters for 'double income, no kids yet'.

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.
