Casino Royale
Camera- establishing shots, snapshots, close ups
Sound- diegetic music of the james bond theme tune, main character talks over it
Editing- fast pace, starts of black and white then becomes colour, blackouts, quick cuts and many cross cuts
Mise-en-scene- there are different locations everytime, all characters are dressed smartly, starts of in a secluded location which adds a sense of mystery then it cuts into the casino which adds a sense of excitement
Characters- mainly James Bond, M, a man who gives the audience the impression that he is an enemy of james bond and an attractive women who appears to be helping him
Locations- different locations so it starts of in a mysterious black, secluded location then goes onto a casino and then from that it goes onto a train and then the beach and then a road where he is driving
Narrative/Plot- James Bond basically saves a casino from being robbed
Themes- heroism and terrorism
Visual style- use of black and white, fast cut editing, fast pace music, use of black outs, voice overs
Genre- thriller and action
The main character is introduced to us on the beginning scene. He is the first character to appear coming out from an plane then it cuts to a person talking to him about becoming 007 which makes the audience become apparent to who is James Bond.
The music starts of slow and then becomes faster and louder during the course of the trailer. This shows the audience that the films action and suspense builds up as it progresses.
The film starts of dark and dreary then it suddenly becomes lighter and more colourful. The pace also starts of slow and then becomes racier and more fast pace. It cuts quickley from scene to scene. The music also builds up as the trailer goes on.
The audiences expectations of it is that it will be exciting and action packed full of suspense and tension.
I think James Bond is targeted more at the male audience as they tend to go for more action films and also they have many beautiful, sexy women which is also an attraction for the male audience. The statistics on the pearl and Dean website reveal this as well.
Shaun Of The Dead
Camera- Establishing shots, continuos shot, close ups, extreme shots long shots
Sound- diegetic music, sounds happy and joyfull non diegetic sounds of a news reporter so a voice over
Editing- zooms in, cross cut, quick cuts, fast pace, black outs
mise-en-scene- sean always wears a suit, its mostly outdoors, different settings, the others wear everyday clothes, its done in the daytime, most places look like a rough cancel estate

Themes-zombies
Visual Style- fast pace editing, scribbles in between each scene, still images, black out when somebody gets run over
Genre- comedy, horror
The 2 characters Sean and Ed appear in most of the scenes which gives the impression they are the main characters.
The music is non diegetic. Its starts of really serious then its becomes jolly and happy. This tricks the audience into thinking that it is a serious, scary film.
It starts off really dim and makes out that is a serious film so the music is really grim, then the lighting becomes lighter and it cuts to sean and his friend which brings out the funny side of the film so the music then becomes happier and starts sounding like clown type music.
It is supposed to give the impression of a scary film as we can see from the beginning of the trailer and also from the posters but then we can tell from some of the scenes shown that is really a comedy film. So we expect it to be funny with a frightening element to it.
I would be the target audience and people my age according to the pearl and Dean website. The bits where they kill people and you see them turn into zombies is what appeals to me and is proberly supposed to appeal to the target audience.
A nightmare on elm street
Camera- high angle shot of boy looking up at the ceiling at the girl, mid shot of the dad and the police man speaking, close ups of boy and girl speaking to eachother, low angle shot of freddy walking through the gate, establishing shot of freddy jumping out of the glass, extreme close up of the girls eye, establishing shot of the house
Sound- Ochestral music that starts of sad and slow it then gradually builds up then becomes deeper as it goes on.
Editing- face pace editing, writting goes over scene of her drowning in a bath, zoom in on the characters eyes, cross cuts from her in her house, finishes with blackout and red writting spelling out ‘a nightmare on elm street’, begins black and red, camera pans in the room, cross cutting is used in the bedroom scene as well
mise-en-scene- outdoors, soft lighting at the beginning, blood appears in most scenes, a lot of the lighting is red and black which is the colour that freddy is wearing, they wear normal casual clothes, a lot of scenes are shot at night, big house, safe looking neighbourhood, colour of the bedroom is a similar colour to what the police officer wears
Characters- Main character is freddy kruger. The rest are his victims and their family.
Location- A big friendly looking neighbourhood, a big house within that neighbourhood and a hospital
Narrative/plot- A man who died years ago who was a child abuser comes back to life in peoples dreams and tries to kill them
Theme- horror
Visual style- black and red, fast cut editing, black outs
The main characters appear at the beginning and appear throughout the sequence. Freddy also pops up at parts throughout the scene but he is wearing distinctive clothes and appears to be doing nasty things to people in their dreams.
The music starts of slow and sad then builds up as the trailer goes which builds up the tension. The trailer reveals what the story is about during the coarse of it. It tricks the audience into thinking that the film is a normal teenage film then when the music starts getting heavier it starts showing blood and violence.
The lighting is colourful and bright at the beginning when the music is slow then the lighting gets darker and the music becomes deeper and has more of an angrier tone. The editing the starts becoming faster as the music gradully builds up. Every time the writing comes onto the screen the music sounds sreechier and more violent.
From viewing this trailer I expect it to be horrific and gorey. Also we can tell that this is a horror trailer by the level of tension and the scenes containing violence.
Me and many young people ages between 16-35 is the target audience for this film. This is what I found out from researching the pearl and Dean website. One of the reasons why this is, is because the film contains many young actors/actresses and the story line is not as scary as most horror films and realistically the audience can tell that there is not any truth in this and it is not based in real life.
