Target Audience;

I think the primary audience for this film would be girls from the age of 12-25. I think that this is a good age as some of the themes in this film are slightly darker in comparison to the original fairytale. However i think that this trailer is very similar to the original narrative from Sleeping Beauty and therefore would be suitable for children around the age of 12. I don't think that this film would suitable for people over the age of of 25 because this film is strongly based on the fairytales and stereotypically adults over the age of 25 are not interested in fairytale based films. The secondary target audience of this film would be males of the same age range. I think that some males would be interested in this film as the actress Angelina Jolie already has an established audience from her previous films.

Settings, location and Mise En Scene.

The first look we see in the trailer is the ident of Disney. This is a good technique as it immediately excites and creates a buzz for the audience as Disney is a well known brand and is very prestigious as they have a good reputation. Disney has created lots of films over the years since they have been a company, due to this Disney has an established audience which therefore guarantees an audience for their released films.

The opening shot to the trailer is an extract from the original Sleeping Beauty film. This shot immediately creates a link back from the modern twist of the fairytale back to the original. The long shot shown on screen exhibits to the audience the location used in the film. The location used in this shot is one that is conventional in fairytale themed films. The large ornate castle is a icon of fairytale films and therefore will make the genre recognisable. The bright colours used in this shot show connotations of happiness and joy.

The next shot is an establishing shot possibly being executed on a helicopter, crane or a drone. This shot allows the viewer to see the location and all the elements that make it what it is. I think that possibly a filter may have been used in this shot as the black areas of the film seem darker and more intense. This effect makes the location look more mysterious and eerie. The lighting in this shot is a mixture of high and low key lighting.

Titles are used at the beginning of the trailer to help break up the sequence and follow the conventions of a trailer. The typography used is a conventional font as it is very medieval and is a serif font. The colours of the font and the contrasting background is green and black. These two colours create a strong association for the main character Maleficent, the animation for the font is luminous, which relates back to the fact that Maleficent is a fairy. The black background used for the text really makes the font pop. The green colour used for the font shows connotations of jealousy and earthiness and the black shows connotations of death. 

The next shot has a fade transition from black, this allows a fluent change from shot to shot. The transitioning shot changes back to the original content from Sleeping Beauty. This long shot slowly zooms in which adds emphasis and informs the audience who the main focus of this shot is. From looking at the window in the shot I can infer that the location is up high which follows the archetype that princesses are locked up in towers and are damsels in distress waiting to be rescued. The costume that the prince is wearing follows the archetype of a princes costume for example big boots and a long cape. The princess is wearing a costume that also follows the archetype for princesses for example she is wearing a long colourful feminine dress and a gold crown. This shot then cuts in to a medium close up of the two characters about to kiss. This shot follows the conventions of a fairytale, which exhibits a kiss between the prince and princess- signifying true love and living happily ever after.

From this kissing shot it fades into the live action version of the new modern version of the film. This close up shot exhibits the two characters to the audience and showcases the relationship between them. The fade transition also shows the juxtaposition between the different films and how they have developed over the years. Although these two shots showcase contrast, this it also  shows how the narrative has been kept very similar since the first film. The use of high key lighting in this shot helps to create the fairy-tale atmosphere. The sun rays also shows connotations of happiness and joy.

Throughout the trailer a smooth and fluent fade transition is used which links the two shot together. This transition also adds a fairy-tale tone to the trailer.
The first glimpse we see of the other main character, Sleeping Beauty, is a medium close up of the character as a baby. This shot helps to introduce the audience to the character. It also helps to create a rapport between the audience and the characters as it may make the audience feel as if they have watched her grow up. The costume that the baby is wearing follows the conventions of outfits typically worn by children. However I can connote that the outfit is made from a silken material- silk is an icon of luxury, the location in this shot also supports this as it is in a palace which is very lavish.

An extreme close up shot of the candles being blown out by wind changes the tone of the trailer and introduces the Toderof theory. This shot is effective as it shows the audience that something is about to happen and that the mood and atmosphere is changing. This entrances the viewer and peaks their interest to know what will happen next in the trailer.

The next few shots in the trailer showcase a problem and that something bad is happening. These shots are edited together similar to a montage- the transitions used are cuts to blacks. This transition gives the effect of confusion and distortion.

The shot that introduces the main character Maleficent is a mid shot that frames the character above her shoulders. The costume that she is wearing is black which shows connotations of death and evil. On her right hand side she is also holding a staff which has a crow upon it. Crows are also an icon of death and makes the character seem more intimidating and dangerous. The lighting in the palace has changed from a happy atmosphere with high key lighting to low key lighting which reflects the character on screen and the atmosphere she has created by walking in the room. The lighting also reflects the fear that the characters have in the story.

A medium close up of the protagonist casting spell on the baby creates a magical atmosphere and further relates back to the original story of Sleeping Beauty. The animation used for the green mist follows the colour theme that has been exhibited through the titles of the film, and further supports and shows the audience the magical qualities that the fairy has.

The long shot of Maleficent performing a curse in the castle makes a great impact on the audience as it exhibits her power and strength to the audience. The colour of the curse shows connotations of jealousy, which relates back to one of the themes exhibited in the original fairy-tale.

This shot swipes across using the cape from the previous shot. The next shot is of a castle, the lighting is high key which contrasts from the previous shot. The castle is also an icon of fairy tales and is a convention for a fairy-tale based film.

The next shot is an extreme long shot of one of the main characters. The setting is full of snow whereas the previous shots where set in summer/spring season. The change in season and weather show progression through the trailer and that time is continuing. The low key lighting adds an ominous tone to the shot, the white snow also contrasts well with the dark trees in the background and foreground.

A medium close up of the second protagonist introduces her as an adult to the audience and shows how she has grown up from the previous shots shown in the trailer. The princess has long blonde hair which supports the archetype that girls like having long hair and looking feminine. The costume that this character is wearing is a material similar to silk, silk is an icon of wealth which reflects her background and family orientation. The pale colour of her dress connotes pureness and innocence which is a strong association with princesses in fairy tales

The close up shot of the crow creates familiarity for the audience from the original fairy-tale. The crow is also a symbol of evil which supports the stereotype that villains in Disney films are evil. However this crow subverts the stereotype as this film exhibits Maleficent as an protagonist instead of a antagonist.

A long shot of the main characters in the river/pond location subverts the archetype that being in the dark is scary. This is shown by the fairies which have been added in using cgi. The colours of the fairies are bright and glowing. The glowing effect connotes happiness and joy. Having fairies in this film follows the conventions of elements to be included in a fairytale orientated film.

A close up shot of the protagonist hiding in the trees away from the camera in the dark shows that sometimes even villains are afraid to be seen. The low key lighting of this shot is very mysterious and adds an eerie tone to the trailer. The lighting looks like it has been done carefully as it highlights certain areas of her face so she is seen by the audience.

A two shot of both protagonists is shown. The lighting in this shot is high key which connotes a happy atmosphere. The composition of this medium close up shows the two characters having the same amount of space on screen. By doing this it shows that the two characters are equals and are even.

 In order to help the trailer progress further a mid shot of the Sleeping Beauty character is shown on the screen to further remind the audience the original narrative that this film was based on. In this shot a glowing effect has been used on the spinning wheel. The use of this effect entrances and draws the viewer's attention to this area of the shot. The spinning wheel is an icon of the sleeping beauty film and therefore this sends a link to the audience. When the viewer is watching this trailer they will make the association from the original film. The lighting in this shot is low key but is contrasted and juxtaposed with the glowing light from the spinning wheel. The glow from this wheel attracts the audience to the prop and makes it the key feature of the shot.

A medium close up shot of the protagonist casting a spell and an over the shoulder shoulder that includes the use of a cgi vines growing shows the power of the antagonist and exhibits to the audience how strong and clever she is. The fact that this character is strong subverts the archetype that women are weak and that men are stronger and more intelligent. The protagonists costume is black which could also shown connotations of strength and power.

Sound
At the beginning of the trailer a dainty soundtrack begins to play. The sound track is quite upbeat an energetic. The sound track is one that you would expect from a fairytale orientated film and follows the conventions. The overall sound of the sound track sounds as if it is imitating fairies which therefore relates back to the fairytale genre. The sound track then deepens and becomes more dramatic as it transitions into the newer version of the film. As the titles appear on screen a male voice over is used to create more drama and dimension to the film. A voiceover is also used by the main protagonist to help introduce Sleeping Beauty. Throughout the film subtle sound effects are used to enhance parts and sections of the film, for example a tinkling sound is used for the butterflies and for the sound of the crow.
As the mood changes in the film and when things go wrong the music reflects this. The music becomes more dramatic and creates a tension. Along side these sound terms diegetic and non diegetic sound is used to create a realistic atmosphere. Ambient sound and sound bridges are also used to create more drama to the trailer.
The soundtrack tapers out at the end of the trailer- the use of this transition creates an ominous atmosphere.

Target Audience.

 The target audience for this trailer would be males and females from the age of around 13 year olds to 25 year olds. I think that this is a goof age range as 13 is a good age for children to become interested in watching thriller/horror films. However if it were any younger this may be quite disturbing and wouldn't be as appropriate. The age of 25 is a good age to watch thriller films as this age range still finds this genre of film interesting and appealing. However if it were any older than 25 it may be seen as tacky, cheesy or boring.

Camera, Editing and mise en scene.
The opening shot of the trailer is a bird's eye view shot of an outside location in the dark. This shot adds a mysterious and eerie tone to the opening of the trailer, this is further supported by the low key lighting which is conventionally used in thriller or horror films as a tool to create atmosphere and suspense. The shot is quite abstract so it makes the audience wonder who is there or what is going to be happening. The angle of this shot enables the audience to have a clear look at the environment of one of the filming locations. The bird's eye angle also gives the illusion that the buildings in the shot are smaller than they actually are. The camera movement pans slightly and immediately cuts to the next shot.

The next shot used in this trailer is a mid shot of a male character. The character has longer hair and a beard which could suggest and infer that he doesn't care much about his appearance. The costume that this character is wearing is quite laid back and casual which suggests that he is a typical guy- this gives the audience a sense of normality. The camera tracks this character as he moves towards the camera- the angle used also creates an eye line match to the audience which makes the trailer more inclusive. This shot and angle exhibits the appearance of his house. The lighting in this shot is high key and adds the sense of reality and normality, this lighting used in this shot juxtaposes the low key lighting in the previous shot. This therefore shows development and progress of the trailer.
This shot then cuts to an over the shoulder shot of the character walking through his house again. The over the shoulder helps the audience feel more included in the trailer and that this shot could be from their point of view.

The next shown in the trailer is of the main character opening his front door. This shot then transitions into a group shot that introduces the two other main character who are teenage girls. The costumes that these characters are wearing follow the archetype that females wear pink and very feminine clothing. The girls are also wearing jewellery which again supports the feminine archetype. The rule of 2/3rd and the composition of shot exhibits the two female characters as the dominant character in this shot.

The trailer is broken up with the use of title screens. The title screens help to keep the audience interested and intrigued in the trailer. The catchphrase that has been used in this title supports and follows the narrative of the trailer and helps the audience whats happening. The catchphrase is quite eerie and creates tension for the viewer. The typography used for this title is conventional of thrillers as it is quite classic looking and includes the use of serif font which makes the title look professional.

A series of shots that vary from long shots, medium shots and medium close ups exhibit to the audience what the protagonist's character is like on a daily basis. These shots are put together using montage editing which exhibits to the audience that the narrative is developing and changing as the trailer goes on.

A three shot of all the characters sat on the sofa exhibits the storyline progressing and developing. The composition of shot exhibits the two girls to be the dominant characters as they are taking up the majority of the shot.

The title screen used for the trailer at the end relates back to the narrative and emphasises to the audience the key theme of this film. The black background against the white font gives the ghostly illusion and makes it seem more eerie and creepy. The door icon used in this title is an icon for the film and is an association the audience will make with the narrative.

Sound.
The sound for the trailer begins with ambient sound of rain which sets the tone and atmosphere for the film. The ambient sound creates a realistic portrayal for the narrative and makes the audience believe that it actually happened. However in order to make this sound more prominent a sound effect could have been overlaid in order to make it sound stronger. Diegetic dialogue from the protagonist is used to create a realistic atmosphere. The voice over from the other character sound bridges into the next shot when we get a clear look at the other characters. A voice over is used continually throughout the trailer in order to develop the narrative further. Shots are used to back up and show relationship between the sound and shot. An incidental sound track begins at the point in which the first title screen is shown. The sound track creates a sinister tone to the trailer and follows the conventions of thriller films. The low tone of the track creates an ominous atmosphere and conveys to the audience that something bad is going to happen.

Psycho Trailer- Specfic Genre Analsis

Name: Pyscho

Date Released: 1960

Rating: 15

Production Company: Shamley Productions

Director: Alfred Hitchcock

Box Office: Gross $32,000,000

Actors: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh

Awards: Oscar Nominated for Best Actress in supporting role, Best Director, Best Cinematography. Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.

Target Audience:

After watching the trailer for Pyscho I think that the Primary target audience for this film would be teenagers from the age of 15 up to around 50. I think that the youngest age for this film would be 15 because as this is a thriller film there may be some scenes that wouldn't be appropriate for someone who was under the age of 15. The theme of this film is mainly murder which therefore may be unsettling for someone who was younger than 15. As this film is quite old fashioned it still may appeal to someone who is older, this may be because they remember when it first came out. This may be another reason why it would not appeal to someone under the age of 15- it might be too old and mature for them. I think that this film would typically appeal to males more than females as stereotypically crime and murder orientated films are more appealing to males.

Settings, location and Mise en scene.

The trailer begins with a series of extreme close up shots of a body- these include hands and feet. These opening shots immediately peak the audiences interest and make them attracted to finding out what has happened. These shots are linked together by using montage editing. The extreme close up of the shower curtains introduces the location of these shots and makes them link together and form a narrative.

The next shot in the trailer is a mid shot of a man holding a knife above his head. This immediately establishes a threat to the audience and introduces the narrative and what is yet to come. The lighting for this shot has been achieved carefully- it allows the audience to see the man's figure but not his identity. This shot of the man with the knife is one of the most iconic shots in film history and therefore it makes a lasting impression due to it being in the trailer.

The next shot in the trailer fades from black. This shot is an establishing shot which shows the audience the main location of the trailer. This shot looks like a point of view shot as it has been completed looking through the front window of the car. The sign of the motel is an icon of the film and introduces the motel to the audience by its own name. The low key lighting in this shot sets a mysterious tone to the shot. This location is conventional for a thriller film as it is distant which shows implications that there is no where to run. The flashing light used for the sign draws your attention and makes it the key element in the shot. The lighting in this shot is low key which adds a mysterious atmosphere to the trailer and the introduction of the narrative.

This shot cuts to a long shot that pans to show the motel during the day. The use of including this shot gives the audience a real look at the location and introduces the narrative. The high key lighting used in this shot establishes a normal everyday atmosphere. This technique will provide the foundation for the narrative and the incorporation of Toderof theory. This long shot further shows the audience that the location is quite a distant and emphasises that there is nowhere to hide.

A point  of view shot that zooms in close to the front door establishes how old the house is as it is made of wood. Wooden houses are typically associated with houses in America. This shot shows the introduction to one of the settings used in the film. The slow pace of the zoom effect shows connotations that someone is sneaking into the housed. The slow pace of this camera movement adds an eerie and mysterious atmosphere.

A medium close up of the female protagonist introduces her to the narrative. This is the first look the audience sees of one of the main characters and therefore it needs to make an impression. This shot of the character enables the audience to see what costume she has on and how she has been represented in this narrative. This character has been portrayed as a archetypal female, her makeup is very feminine and looks put together and presentable. The style of the protagonist's hair is quite classical and elegant for the time period- the hairstyle supports how the archetypical female is very elegant and cares about her appearance.

A high angle long shot of a man in the window shows the the audience that the female protagonist 

 is not alone at this motel. The low key lighting used in this shot exhibits an creepy and ominous atmosphere. This is further supported by the mysterious shadow in the window. The lighting that has been used inside the house makes the character in the window more prominent. The use of a shadow makes the antagonist seem more intimidating. From looking at the silhouette I can connote that this character is a man. Typically men are used as antagonist's because the archetypes used to describe men is strength.

An over the shoulder two shot of the antagonist and protagonist properly introduces the antagonist to the audience. The framing of the shot is mid shot which exhibits to the audience what the male character is wearing. The costume of the male character is button down shirt and a jacket. The fact that he is wearing a button down shirt shows that he cares about his appearance and is slightly above middle class as his outfit is quite formal. The props in the background are hotel room keys with numbers. The room keys are a main icon of motel and hotel orientated films. By using these props it makes the location of the motel more realistic.

A two shot of the antagonist and the man in the suit has been framed as a mid shot. The composition of shot and the rule of 2/3rd exhibits that these two characters are equals as they have the same shot space. The costume that the other male character is wearing is a suit. As the costume is a suit it shows connotations that this man works in an office and most likely works in the city. The hat that has be worn by the male character further emphasises. Another connotation of wearing suit is wealth- this could infer that this man is upper class or middle class. The costume of this character juxtaposes the antagonist's costume.

A mid shot of the antagonist and the protagonist in a compromising position follows the conventions that are seen in Thrillers. Typically in Thrillers a love interest is introduced, by having a love interest it adds a twist and an element of surprise to the narrative for the audience. The blinds pulled down in the background infers privacy and shows that no one can look in. 

An extreme close up of an envelope on the bed shows importance of how it will help to build up the narrative. The close up of the envelope shows the audience that this prop is important to the narrative and that it is a key prop used in the film. The fact that the cash is in an envelope connotes that there is a lot of money in the envelope and that the character has concealed it. This shows there is more to why she has it than she is showing. In order to link these shots together a fade to black transition and a jump cut is used to show that time is moving forward.

A mid shot of a female character sitting at a desk introduces her to the narrative as a new character. The the costume that this character is wearing supports the female archetype. She is wearing a dress which supports the stereotype that women wear dresses and are very feminine. The typewriter prop in the background of the shot connotes that she is a receptionist or works in an office. The typewriter represents that she has been taught to write which infers that she is high class and has had a good education.

An extreme close up shot of someone packing clothes into a suitcase connotes that they are in a rush to get somewhere. Typically when someone is packing their suitcase it infers that they are on the run somewhere. The suitcase prop is quite large which suggests that they are going for a long time.

A long shot of a house in low key lighting creates an eerie and scary atmosphere. The fog in the background that has been used is an icon for fear in horror and thriller films. The lighting used inside the house to highlight the windows emphasises how dark it is in comparison to the inside of the house. I think that the lighting and the composition of this shot has been carefully though out, the moonlight used behind the house illuminates the setting perfectly to create the stereotypical horror location.

A tracking mid shot of the antagonist shot in low key lighting creates a creepy and erie atmosphere. The lighting in this shot has been created so the viewer can not see his face which gives the element of mystery and the unknown. The tracking movement of the camera makes it more inclusive for the audience as it feels like they are the one walking towards the antagonist. The fact that this film has been made in black and white further creates a spooky atmosphere, this is particularly emphasised on this shot.

A medium close up of the protagonist driving a car creates an eye line shot. The background in this image infers that she is driving through a busy city like New York. The fact that she is driving through a city like this infers that she either works or lives there. If she works of lives there it connotes that she has a high paid job and can afford to live in a city like New York. The protagonist is wearing quite smart clothing which infers that she has a respectable job and needs to dress well for it.

An extreme close up of a police officer wearing sunglasses introduces a semantic filed of crime into the trailer. The sunglasses prop that he is wearing hides his identity and makes him unknown to the audience. By hiding the officer's identity it makes him more mysterious and interesting character. The use of incorporating the police into this film follows the conventions of thrillers and the elements that are in these films. The uniform that the officer is wearing follow the conventions of a policeman's outfit and infers that he is an official officers and not an impostor.

                                     

An over the shoulder shot of a man pulling a body along the ground shows a equilibrium and the narrative developing  as the trailer progresses. The shot has been framed so no one sees the identity of the body and the person dragging this body. As this shot is being shown to the audience the title for the director appears on screen. The director's title is shown on screen first before the title of the film because Alfred Hitchcock is an established name in film and if someone sees that this film was created by him it will further convince people to go and watch the film.

A birds eye view shot of a character carrying someone down the stage insinuates that there is an issue that has happened and someone could be in danger. However it is not clear what has happened to this person therefore this shot could be exhibiting a softer side to the antagonist and shows that he is a regular human being. The many flights of stairs exhibits to the audience that this is a large house therefore the family must be rich in order to afford it.

A close up shot of the female protagonist in the shower is an iconic shot and scene for the whole franchise. The shot shows a shadowy figure in the background behind the shower curtain. Immediately as the shadow appears in the shot it creates a scary atmosphere and puts the viewer on edge. The lighting in this shot is high key which showcases a realistic scenario and makes the audience think that everything is ok. The shot may scare the audience and will help them make up their minds on whether or not they should trust the antagonist. 

A series of extreme close up shots have been put together using montage editing. The images that have been selected for this sequence all relate together and help the narrative progress and develop. The shots that have been used is an extreme close up of blood on someone's hands, the protagonist's face and an extreme close up of a knife raised in the air. These shots all add up to help set the scene for the audience as what it to come in the film. The knife prop is an icon of the film and follows the weapon conventions used in thrillers and horrors. The knife prop follows the semantic filed of crime exhibited in the trailer.

An extreme close up of an eye exhibits how the camera is a high quality. The shot of the eye creates an intense atmosphere for the audience and also makes the viewer fell closer to this character.

The title shown on screen exhibits the title of the film. The film title has been left till last so it leaves a lasting impression on the audience. The blood splatter effect follows the conventions of thriller films. The blood splatter supports the crime semantic field. The white font of the title pops and stands out against the black background. The typography used for this film is quite edgy and follows the conventions of titles used in thrillers.

The last shot of the |Psycho trailer is of the antagonist. This shot leaves an eerie and creepy effect on the audience and emphasises the threat of the antagonist. The medium close up shot of this character frames him perfectly. The background behind the cock and balls antagonist is plain which allows the character to stand out and allow the audience to focus on him more.

Sound.

The beginning of the trailer immediately begins with an incidental soundtrack which creates a jump for the audience. The soundtrack is very eerie and creepy which immediately sets the atmosphere for the rest of the trailer. It immediately entrances the audience and peaks the audience's interest to watch the rest of the trailer. This incidental soundtrack continues throughout the duration of the trailer constantly creating atmosphere and tension. The use of a string instrument adds a classical tone and fits in with the time period in which this was made. A voice over is used in the trailer to help set up the narrative and introduce it to the audience. The dialogue used in the trailer sound bridges into the shot after therefore creating a link between these two shots.

Contripuntal Sound

Contrapuntal sound is a term used to describe sounds and soundtracks that we would not necessarily associate with the visual shots shown on the screen. For example if a happy upbeat soundtrack was used in a death scene, this would be contrapuntal sound. The use of contrapuntal sound in films allows an ironic tone to the scene and can transmit a different tone and atmosphere to the audience.
A famous example of this would be the ear scene in Reservoir Dogs. The scene includes a gory shot in which a police mans ear is cut off. To juxtapose this shot the score "stuck in the middle with you" by Stealers Wheels played. This score is very upbeat and energetic which is ironic as the scene is the opposite.
