Moving images and text:

They use emotional moments to emphasise the feelings of sadness in the movie, in specific the tone in which the characters are speaking very peacefully and in down to earth manner.
The music also emphasises the same emotions as the music connotes something sad and tragic occurred, this was also happening whilst the explosions and battles was continuing.
There was various movie companies featured in the beginning of the trailer, this is so the audience are then comfortable, this assures them that they are watching the right movie.
The text brought up doesn't feature much of the stars starring in the film, however they feature more of the directors and producers and their previous work in the movie industry. This suggests that the producers&director are crucial to the movie and are likely to grab the public's attention.
The voice over man is prevented in the trailer and they have used a character in the movie instead.
The release date and title is also featured.
The iconography in the trailer is explosions so this suggests that it is Action, and the spaceships and different planets featured is suggestive that it is a sci-fi and finally the emotions featured in the movie means that it is also a drama.

The shot of the central image is a low long shot and they have selected this shot because it captures the whole characters outfit but more importantly it makes the character look superior, heroic and most importantly powerful.
From looking at the sign in between the title you could immediately tell that this is a comic movie and features a superhero which means that it is more likely to be a sci-fi.

Movie Trailer Analysing (NCIS)


Movie Name: Drag Me To Hell (2011)

Movie Genre: Horror

Repertoire of Elements NCIS:
 The trailer lets us know that this movie is a horror movie as mainly it is mostly dark and full of shadows in the movie and makes us feel as though the victim is feeling isolated. Another popular reason why we can identify the genre of this movie is because the victim of the horror occurring is a young pretty woman. Finally we could tell this is a horror movie because it contains an old woman who is sending something to the young pretty victim that is bugging her and like any other horror movie each time this curse comes back it decreases in danger and scariness.





Movie Name: A Walk To Remember (2002)

Movie Genre: Romance

Repertoire of Elements NCIS:
The main and the most obvious signal that this is a Romance movie in this trailer is that there is mainly a Man and a Woman who fall in love and they are also the leading characters. Another element for this being a romance movie is that one of the main characters group of friends is included and featured in the story. The final reason why we could identify this to be a romance movie is because in every romance the main story line is that the two main characters fall in love and then something happens to separate them.


Movie Name: Flight (2012)

Movie Genre: Thriller

Repertoire of Elements NCIS:
Flight is a brilliant example of a thriller as the narrative of the movie is a pure example of a usual thriller story line, this is because the main story line of a thriller is good against bad and is noticeable that the good in this movie is the hero who saved the lives of many people on the plane however the bad is the lawyers and men who are attempting to get the protagonist in jail. You may argue that through the trailer we could see that this is a psychological thriller as there is no fighting scenes or shooting scenes and so this means that the hero may be facing an emotional or mental threat.It is also said to be that the characters of a thriller movie is that the hero is usually does good actions through bad ways and this is the perfect example of the character in this movie as at the end of the day Denzil Washington is still a hero however he did have alcohol in his system and throughout the trailer he shows that he doesn't really care.
