The document discusses conventions for teen comedy movie trailers and marketing materials. It notes that teen comedy trailers typically introduce main characters, end on a cliffhanger, and only show parts of the movie to avoid giving away the full storyline. The target audience for teen comedies and their trailers is 16-18 year olds, as the films are usually set in high school or party settings relatable to teenagers.

PRESENTATION

2. MAIN TASK
 Following my research of similar trailers I have learnt that
most trailers introduce all the main characters throughout the
trailer.
 They normally leave the trailers on a clif f hanger to keep the
audience gripped so they want to watch the film to find out
what happens.
 Throughout the trailer they tend to only show parts of the
movie so they don’t give away to much of the story line to ruin
it for people if they want to go watch the film.
 Most trailers have a music throughout the trailer to represent
to it’s genre for example if it was a teen comedy it would be
upbeat music to show that the characters are lively and make
the film look upbeat and youthful.

3. TEEN COMEDY TRAILERS
 Conventions of teen comedy trailers:
 In teen comedy trailers the setting is normally a high school or a par ty
setting at a house.
 The ages of the character s in the trailers are teenagers ages 16 -1 8 as
they are normally set in a high school.
 Characters in
teen comedies.
 All trailers include previews of the movie which include stereotypical
names like the jocks, the popular and the geeks.

4. ANCILLARY TASK
 In my ancillary task all the magazine
front covers have a celebrity
endorsement on the front, which tend
to be related to a film so the magazine
represents that it is about movies.
 They all show the main characters on
the front of the magazine to show the
characters in the movie.
 All magazines have the brand name In
front of the image to show he
magazine is more important.
 All magazines have cover story’s on
them to give a sneak preview of what
you are expected to read inside and
draw in the audience.

5. ANCILLARY TASK – TEEN COMEDY’S
 In my ancillary task all of the posters I
analysed have a slogan at the bottom of
the poster to draw in the audience.
 They all show the main characters on the
front of the poster to show the characters
in the movie.
 All posters have the logo big and bold
standing out over the image
 The logo tends to go in front of the image
to show the name is more important.
 All the posters have credits on the image
so the audience k know who was in the
movie.

6. TARGET AUDIENCE
 My target audience are young
teenagers ages 16-18 as my genre is
teen comedy’s and is mainly set in a
high school or party area which
represents teenagers and is things
they would understand.
 In a teen comedy, the target
audience would be expected to see in
their trailer things that represent to
them for example parties and drinking
alcohol and sex.
 Also things like the setting in a high
school as the audience would be the
ages where they are at a high school.
