// Mia, a foul-mouthed, stroppy fifteen-year-old, lives on an Essex estate with her hopeless mother, Joanne, and precocious little sister Tyler. She has been excluded from school and is awaiting admission to a referrals unit and spends her days aimlessly. She begins an uneasy friendship with Joanne's handsome, extrovert Irish boyfriend, Connor, who encourages her one interest, dancing. //

//The trailer opens with an establishing shot which sets the scene. Typically, as it is an urban drama movie the setting is made up of tower blocks in an undeveloped council estate. The shot sucks up the territory on which it captures; flats, busy roads, flyovers, scraps of land and suburban shop parades. We are introduced to the back of the main character while she stands over a balcony looking over at her home town. The opening 10 seconds of the trailer, we see various shots edited and combined together to show us life inside of her block. Clips of her family members and a taste of how they live in their house. The pace of the shots move very quickly As an example we a see a capture of Mia looking over her staircase followed by a clip of her mother grabbing her sister by the ear and her brother running down the block. All of this is done within the beginning 10 seconds of the trailer without showing the face of any of the characters. This then fades into a brief summary of text about the films recognition and success. This implies that the actors aren't well known or that the film wasn't expected to do well as it gives more promotion.//

// The trailer is made up of both diegetic and non diegetic sounds and does not include voiceover however does use text to tell a part of the story. The opening music is an up tempo beat however is dominated by the sounds of screams and doors being slammed. This suggests that there is a stressful situation at hand and gives us a sense of foreboding. In between each shot there's an illustration of Mia's story which helps contribute to our understanding of the battle she's facing living in an unpleasant condition. This also gives us vision to reason and have pity for the character as we can already see that she isn't being accepted. The trailer includes a great amount of dialogue mainly giving more insight to the characters including the age of the main character “you’re only 15 years old”. This could imply a unique selling point as it could be aimed at teenagers and young adults who could possible relate to some of the themes and living situations. The paces of the shots decrease as we see a change in the life of the main character and we see a different side then to who was first introduced. Also the music changes into a more triumphant instrumental which supports the change we're witnessing. The music throughout the trailer is instrumentals of different tracks that change depending on what is being shown to us. As the story unfolds the music changes to a mellow beat as the trailer delivers and explores themes of attitude, humour, sadness, love, anger and hope. The pace of the shots slow down and we get a clear look at the expressions on all of the characters faces towards the end of the trailer in contrast to what we saw at the beginning. This may help to identify personalities. The beat changes and things become more dramatic as the trailer shows more action of violence, danger and fear. Again, the director adds text to the trailer this time engaging the viewer by proposing rhetorical questions. //

// Overall the trailer focuses on realism just as an urban drama would. The mise-en-scene of the film portrays how, a vulnerable but strong adolescent teenage girl can grow up and change based on the setting and trend. Some scenes are made up of a lot of youths both girls and boys dressed in jogging bottoms and casual clothing hanging out on council estates. This also contributes to the possible unique selling point of the film. //

//The trailer of Crash tells us that it’s a serious film that explores serious issues such as race, loss and redemption. Throughout the trailer we see a lot of negative emotions, pain and reckless actions. The trailer doesn’t reveal too much about the characters actions however we are able to see the segregation between groups of people. // // The trailer opens with an establishing shot showing an exterior of Los Angelas city. Voiceover is used at the beginning to introduce the story and perhaps to also connect with the viewer as the dialogue is very colloquial and straight to the point without even showing any significant clips of the film. The trailer uses slow transitions to begin with while fading each clip into the next which is also supported by voiceover. We are also given a brief look at the faces of all the characters as the voiceover runs and the clips fade into each other. This sets the mood of the film as it seems very dark, quiet and miserable. The voice of each character is carried out as the voiceover for various clips implying that they are all sharing the same emotion. // // The dialogue used gives a negative vibe as well as negative emotion, from a victim describing the deep world of segregation to a little girl seeking information about a “bullet”. Every word spoken is either in an argument or a discussion. The victims started off speaking at a low tone but very stern supported by a slow background tune making it evident that they are being victimised. However as the trailer goes on we witness some aggression from the victims as there tone changes to a louder volume which is then supported by a faster background tune bringing a sense of action. There is background music playing throughout the whole trailer of different instrumentals all of which reflect what is going on in the scene. The music is also incorporated with other non diegtic sounds such as police sirens. As the police sirens begin to go off, a faster beat comes on from the background music implying action and giving a sense of foreboding. As we are given an extreme close up shot of particular victims face from an angle, a brief part of a slow and sad tune begins to play adding to the emotion.// //The film is set in Los Angelas in an area which resembles a wealthy community of wealthy White families. This tells us that it is a blatant racial battle as we see constant disagreements and hard living. However it also shows scenes set in a city with multiculturalism and segregation. The characters are all dressed in a different attire, some professionally dressed and others conforming to the typical stereotype of a young black man in a hooded coat with baggy jeans. This suggest stereotypes could also be an issue.// //Overall the trailer of crash explores realism just as an urban drama would, and it’s unique selling point isn’t direct and could be aimed at people that like action movies as well as movies that educate and raise morale issues.//

Film Magazine Analysis



Film Poster Analysis















Audience Reseach: Focus Group



//I composed a questionnaire of a 4 questions asking 10 peple aged between 16-19 a sample to give me a rough idea of what I'd need to deliver whilst making my film magazine and possibly giving me an idea for my poster. After gathering the results of the questionnaire I took into consideration what my audiece what expect. Concerning the magazine i discovered that my audience will feel most happy if they could gain the oppurtunity of winning a pair of tickets to an event, this enebaled me to think of an attractive sell line. After having done my magazine cover Analysis I noticed that some film magazine's used well known film directors as there background image rather than the actual cast of the film. I found this interesting however according the my results my audience would much prefer the cast of the film to be presented. As my chosen genre was Urban Drama I had to find out what expectations people would have for a magazine or poster concerning the colour scheme. The bright and vibrant colours seemed to be the most popular and this I found effective for my magazine however not my poster as it was a story expressing negative feeling so I believed a mixture of dark and light would work best. The price of my magazine would be £2.99 as it could be easily affordable for young people as well as anyone older.//
