INVESTIGATING THE GENRE CONVENTIONS OF INSPIRING FILM TRAILERS

THE CONVENTIONS OF A FILM TRAILER A film trailer will attract an audience into watching the whole film. It sets the genre of the film and creates a feeling for the setting, by using genre conventions, which suggests the storyline. It introduces some of the main characters and draws interest to the audience with attention grabbing footage. The trailer usually builds slowly from the beginning to an exiting end. It also includes textual elements such as the film title, credits, actor names and opening dates to convey key information about the film.

THE CODING OF A FILM TRAILER Media coding is a communication system used in different forms of media that encompasses meaning. There are 3 codes of media, that convey meaningful messages within it: Technical codes camera techniques, framing, depth of field, juxtaposing light and exposure Symbolic codes Objects, setting, body language, clothing, colour Written codes Headlines, Captions, speech bubbles, language

WHAT IS A GENRE CONVENTION? The genre of my film is a action/mystery thriller, therefore I have chosen to investigate 3 favourite films that are of the same genre. I will analyse the way they code the genre convention into their trailer and it can help inspire me with ideas on how I can attract the audience, with the teaser trailer “countdown.” A genre convention is a typical or standard trope of plot, character, setting, icon, theme, or effect in a genre story. For instance, in a Western film it is conventional to have the heroes wear white hats and the villains wear black hats (icon convention) Or in the superhero genre, it is a convention to have the characters wear costumes (icon convention).

BASIC INFORMATION ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],PLOT- Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.
