Migrain Analysis
M: Lighting, high key/ low key lighting.Low angle shots have been used to make the suspects and the ones being targeted look low an helpless. It shows they do not have power whereas in other scenes we see high angle shots making superior people look as if they have power and are in total control of the situation and what is happening.Close up shot shave been used to enhance the audiences views on the facial expressions we see. These help the audience relate to what and how the characters feel making them engage with them emotionally.Long shots and medium shots help us as an audience to see what is actually going on in the mise-en-scene. We have a brief over view of what to expect.We see Students who are constantly shown related to violence one way or another, trying to fight for their 'racial' rights.Sound: Non digetic, yet parallel to scenes. Tense music with fast remix is used to pace up the trailer when we hear about more clues. This makes enigma codes.
I: Paramount pictures ( a large American instituion) this shows that the movie was a high budget film.
G: Crime genre, this is shown through all of the innocence killings of others and the way the issues are handled in society. There are scenes in the trailer which make us think that it does follow crime conventions. The dark and dimly set scences show us signs a drama movie would contain. The genre also follows an action genre. This is shown through the action we see in the trailer, We see students using guns, we hear gun shots. These props are conventions of the movie following the action genre. As well as physically, there is a lot of verbal abuse being shown, which once again highlights the action genre.
R: There are students from different ethnical minorities who are being stereotyped and have been represented in a negative way. There are many different negative stereotypes, these inlude the way youths are represented. Many of them are from middle class working backgrounds. Some lof them live in estate type houses.
A: The importance of a trailer is un-describable. This is the one source that will visually attract the movies target market to actually watch the film. On a whole, appeal to everyone, this means that it will appeal to a wide audience from different ethnical backgrounds. The trailer itself has a wide variety of actors, we see many different actors from differnt backgrounds including white and black people. Therefore the movie will also be targeted at these people. The mixture of different actors will also bring in more audience for the movie.
I:There are issues such like racial profiling which is covered by the movie. The movie gives the audience an overview of what we se through the protagonists eyes. The difficulties she has to face. The vilonce and youth crime involved shows us about how time has changed since racism has been around. The movie has such a huge point to look at, because of the fact that it is based ona true story. We constantly hear about racism and with negative stereotypes it makes it harder to believe what is real. The movies authenticity makes it a success because it follows such real life issues and situations.
N:The opening of the trailer starts with Eva walking out of her house andthen running after someone has attempted to shoot her. It all comes down to the colour of your skin is a quote from the trailer and this will help me in my independant study vastly.
