Redo of Mr Bush homework of film analyses

Taken


The movie clip that i will be analysing will be the " Taken" film trailer. I find this trailer intrusting from the camera shots and angles used. The story line and genre is extremely fasinating and appeals to all audience types. The movie is basically about a daugther goes on holidays and then her father trys his best to get her back to safefy. The emotion played out within this clip shows how this movie can be passed of in the genre of drama. Also the violent acts shown within the film show that the movie has a genre of thriller aswell. This expresses that it can appeal to both types of audiences , where the males can enjoy the thriller part and the females can enjoy the drama part. This moive can appeal to an older target audience like parents , as they can relate to the parents played within the movie. This movie can also relate to teenagers in a way to protray how the real world is dangerous and how parents are always there for you in the end of the day.


The mise en scene used within the scene like the telephone can protray many things. For example, when the female is holding the telephone within intensity when her friend is being kidnapped shows how desparate the girl is and how scard she is. It also shows despaeration of the female and her being helpless and needing help. The telephone prop also shows a source of hope and help, it shows how she can be helped as her father now knows the situation of her being kidnapped and can help her .  The telephone used also shows how the father can communicate with the kidnappers and help his daughter to be safe and back to normal.There are weapons show within the movie aswell to show how the father will go to dangerous extents in order to get his daughter back regardless. It also shows the violent and thriller side to the movie and shows his desperarcy to get his daughter back.


The lighting used within the movie is mainly dim and dull. This factor shows how the trailer is showing abit of the movie and not showing the explicit effect as they dont want to give everythin away to the viewer. By giving a slow show of what will happen within the movie , it leaves the audience hungery for more and makes them eager to watch the movie and see what happens. The movie in dull lighting also shows the dangerous and mysterous kidnapping of the daughter and how violent it can be as you cant see anything and you dont know what might be happening to the kiddnapped victims.


The sound within the movie consist of diegetic and non diegetic sound. Diegetic sound is direct sound related to a scene like a conversation between the father and daughter on the telephone . However a non digetic sound is the like background music which cant be seen and is used for effect. Both of these scenes are used within the movie. The diegetic sound is used in order to show the situation of the movie and what is happening, for example over hearing the conversation between the kiddnapper and the desperate father, the diegetic sound of the  telephone ringing also gives a dahaunting effect as well. The heart beat at the back shows the thriller and the danger of the scene of the movie. It makes the audiences feel like they are in the movie as they can feel the heart beat out loud. However background music is played at the back to compliment the scenes , for example , when a violent scene is played , fast tempo music is played in order to compliment the scene and show how the scene is going fast and how dangerous it is.


The camera shots withn the film , consist of many factors. To protray the drama genre , the camera shots used are close ups to show the emotions and expressions of the characters within the movie. However fast blurred shots are used to show the violence and thriller genr of the movie. It expresses how the scens are explicit yet left unknown to the audience for suspence. There are aot of blank shots within the trailer , this effect can be like a person blinking there eyes , theses shots occur alot , however , it can also show to be the victim within the movie , te victim coud be either uncousucius and blinking her eyes alot. Yet can also be in the view of the audience and make the audience feel like they are there within the scenes.


The lighting and the colouring within the trailer is mainly dark and dim. In the beggining when the scenes are happy and lively , the colour are bright and positive. There are no dim lighing effects. However when the equalibrium is ruined , the colours of the atmosphere are soon to be destroyed and become dangerous , dark and dim. This connoates the mystery of the kidnapp and the unknown events that may be takenin place to the victims of the kidnapp. Also the dim lighting can also express the dark side of the father and the dangerous things he woul do in order to get his daugther back. The dim lighting can also show the journey of the father trying to find his daugther through this dark experinece and can also express the feelings of the father and daughter.

Ms Wigley twilight

The target audience for the movie is seen to be females and males. The age’s group would be a teenage age group. We know that this movie is aimed towards teenagers as it consists of actors whom are acting like teenagers. Also this movie shows how teenagers suffer from a love triangle, which may appeal to the audience. Firstly the media forums of language express the way the trailer is portrayed. The genre of the movie is a mixture of 2 genres. Firstly as the movie consist of a love them of a love triangle, it shows how the movie is a romantic genre which can appeal to the female target audience. However as there are 2 dominating male figures within the movie it shows violence and action in order to appeal to the ,ale target audience/ For example , in the beginning of the movie there is a romantic scene of the males and female hugging together having an intimate moment together, This shows the femine side of the movie which will appeal to females as they enjoy romantic scenes , however the scene where both males threaten to fight over the girl shows the action side of the movie which appeals to the male audience.

The Hollywood factors within this clip are the large action scene which show a lot of money must have been in invested within. The beginning of the trailer also shows Hollywood Production Company’s which show how the movie belongs from a Hollywood background. The actors aren’t British either which show the Hollywood aspects,

The trailer for the movie uses persuasive techniques like cliffhanging scenes in order to pull the audience to the film and make them wonder what happened next in the movie. By doing this it encourages the audience to go watch the movie and recommend It to their friends and family.

There are certain close ups and far shots in the movie trailer to express the scenes and show the genre clearly. Showing long shots of the couple being lovey and close shows the body language of the couple and express the love they have for each other. However in other scenes there are close ups of the couple laying on the bed to show the intimesy of the scene and protrays how close the couple are by having a close camera shot. There are far shots aswell in action scenes in order for the viewer to see the scene clearly. This shows how the scene is quite with the genre of action by allowing the viewer to see the scene. An example of this is the scene which shows the villain doing a dangerous jump in the woods which is quite dangerous and shows the audience a full view of this scene to show how much action consist within the film.

Lastly the music shown has mainly dialogue . The diaglogue used from the films script gives an insight of what is in store for the audience and also shows the audience what happens in the movie breifly. It gets the viewer intrusted and excited. The other piece of music which is shown in the trailer expresses a fast tempo to show the violence and drama of the movie. Soft music is played in the begining to show the romantic side of the moive , however the fast music shown protrays the love triangle within the movie and the 2 dominating males fighting for the love from the females within the movie.
