Purpose and form -The trailer starts in black and has a sudden cut from black to a death scene with dead solders laid on the floor. This has an impact to the audience and tells them port of the story straight away. It also is done to tell the audience straight away the genre of the film. The purpose of this trailer is to make the people that see it want to go watch the film I think that the director has used different features in the trailer to make people want to see it for example the fast editing, the slow motion action shots and the sound and content. The form of this Promo is a trailer for a action film The editor has used fast paced editing and strong sounds to show this to the audience. In comparison to other Trailers it works quite well due to the same theme in editing and the same hero/villain situation. Looking at the mise en scene in this Trailer you can see that it is a action film set in ancient times in Greece.
content and meaning - One of the Features of Mise En Scene is the costume and if we look at the costume in the trailer we can see a lot of armour, this connotes that there is a large theme of war in the film. In the costume there is a couple of main colours for example brown from the leather which connotes that there was not metal armour used or they could not afford it. One of the main characters in the trailer is the solder with the blue cape. When we see a blue cape with think important or informative. This can Tell the audience that this specific solder is a lot more important than the rest and could be a leader.
The properties used in this are mostly old weapons of war for example axes and swords and shields this also connotes that the film is set in a time of war. In the trailer there are 3 main setting locations. The Battle Field, The Ocean and the City/palace of the Enemy. I think that this again shows that all the film is based about is war but It is also telling the audience that the film is quite fast pace, The only problem with this is that it could make the audience think that all the film is, is a fight and is lacking in a story.
The camera work in this trailer contains mostly close ups and establishing shots, I think that these have been used because in a trailer all you have to do is tell a short story and the establishing shots are to show what is happening and where and the close ups are to show emotion and can also be an insert shot to show important things in the clip for example the sword being sharpened. I also think that the editing style in this trailer is fast paced editing to keep in with the action theme and to keep the audience interested.
genre and target audience - The genre of the film which the trailer is advertising is a action film which explains the properties of weapons and the fast paced editing. The target audience for this film would probably be teenagers up to adults of about 50 because the blood featured in the film might be to scary for children and I don't think that older adults would be interested as adults and teenagers at the age of between 15 and 40. The rating of this film is a 15 which means that it is too inappropriate for younger viewers. The use of slow motion and loud sounds in the trailer will appeal to the target audience. I think this because the target audience majority would be male and the hero in the trailer is powerful and the leader which is popular in the action films with this target audience.
