‘The Amazing Spiderman’
The genre of this trailer is superhero, which is emphasised by all the building scaling and hanging upside down on train carriages. The superhero genre is also emphasised by the mysterious dark figure lifting up cars and throwing them off a bridge.
The narrative of the trailer is in chronological order, as it starts with him as a child, and continues as he grows into an adult. By doing this, we are able to understand how it all began and how ‘Spiderman’ was created, in order to keep the audience excited and involved.
The unique spelling point of this trailer is that it follows the main character through his progression from child to adult, and shows what kind of social class he is in, and what kind of social group he is in at school. By doing this, we are able to find out what kind of person he is, in order to keep us interested in the trailer.
The target audience for this film would most likely be 12 upwards and families, as there is nothing too scary or gruesome for a younger audience. It may be directed at families as it is a slightly scarier action film that young children may want to see. The gender target audience would most likely be males, as males generally prefer action films.
The music at the beginning is very sinister and creepy, which helps build suspense as the parents are leaving, it then changes to a very sad tune as 'Peter' is progressing through his life. It then turns very loud and fast paced as Peter gets bitten by a spider fits in with the lifestyle he is now living as he can do many things he couldn't do before.
The shot types and camera angles in this trailer vary. At the start they are long shots and establishing shots to show the location and setting, and then as a conversation scene comes on there is a shot/reverse shot. Throughout the trailer there are a lot of shot/reverse shots in order to show conversation scenes properly, and to show the perspective of the character as they speak. There are a few close up's to show facial expressions and emotions in order to make the audience feel how the character is feeling and also to make sure the audience know fully what they are supposed to be noticing in the film.. The shots in the trailer are quite fast paced so that the audience do not fully know what is happening in order to build suspense for the film as if the audience are not entirely sure what is happening, they will be more willing to watch the film to find out what happens next in the scenes. Towards the end there is an extreme close up to show the characters eye, which shows the audience the fright he is feeling. There are also many tracking shots so that the audience are able to follow the character through what he is doing.
The pace throughout this trailer is very fast, as the shots are quick. This ensures that the audience do not click on to everything that will happen in the film as the scenes are too quick to understand everything that happens. Also it makes the film more exciting as the audience want to find out further about everything that happens, and how it all fits in together.
There is quite a lot of dialogue in this film to tell some of the important parts of the film's storyline. For example by the Dad saying 'you're going to stay with your aunt and uncle for a while' it enables the audience to know how everything started, and question why he had to stay with his relatives and not his parents, encouraging them to watch the film. Also later on in the trailer when Peter find an old briefcase, his uncle says 'I forgot all about that, it belonged to your dad.' By using 'belonged' it suggests to the audience that his parents or just his dad died after that night that they left him, and he has been living a life without them.
Towards the end of the trailer there is a voice over. We are also seeing a first person view of how he is living his life, and what his life entails. The voiceover is very short but tells the audience that he has a secret, which makes them want to know what it is.
There are not that many special effects, but where there are they involve him jumping off building and climbing up walls etc. There are not many special effects used as the producers may have wanted to save all the dramatic scenes for the proper film to make it more special for the audience.
Throughout the trailer there are not many credits or intertitles, this may be because the main focus is on the scenes in the trailer and the music playing, and having credits and intertitles would take up time where there could be footage being shown to encourage the audience to watch it. The only information we get from the trailer is that the production company is Columbia Pictures.
