Snatch Film Trailer

Snatch is a film that is of an action/comedy genre. This genre is similar to the one that I will be aiming my product towards, therefore the target audience will be the same. Consequently, an analysis of the trailer will help me to gain an understanding of what I need to include in my trailer so that it effectively attracts the audience who follow that genre of film.

> Costumes - a lot of the characters in the trailer are wearing suits, this carries the connotation of a gangster culture, this is because of the context that they are seen in. The men aren't wearing the suits as a dress code for a job or any formal event. The clothing shows a typical 1980's London looking group of people.

> Props - the trailer shows a lot of things which you would realte to a typical gangster realted film, these include; diamonds, weapons, cars and other props associated with violence, i.e a punch bag.
These props help to define the genre of the film and show the audience exactly what level of the genre they will be viewing, if they decide to watch the whole film.

> Editing - the editing is fast-paced, this means that the the frames are only displayed for a short amount of time before they are replaced by another frame, this means that the trailer is moving at a quick speed, creating suspense for the viewer.
This use of fast-paced editing appears to be a code/convention within action based film trailers.

> Narrative - the trailers tells the audience about what is going to happen in the actual film, the scene is set for the viewers.
A lot of comedy and action is used in story, this is because they want the audience to know what they can expect from the film.
