Elysium Trailer analysis

Elysium Trailer analysis 
what does the trailer tell us?
From the first few seconds of the film trailer we get some intense music, that makes the audience thinks this is a action and sci-fi we also know this because of the establishing shot of the sci-fi country, we also know this is a poor vs rich type of film we know this because of the words appearing "the privileged" this can make us think of rich wealthy people and then it gives us quotes saying no poverty, no war
Mise-en-scene
In the first few seconds into the film we already know its going to be a sci-fi film because of how high tech and clean their world is, we also know its based in space because of how close the planets are to each other, they are also wearing very clean and fancy clothing, then we find out that there is another planet called "Earth"

Robin Hood prince of thieves

Robin Hood prince of thieves
What does the title convey?
In Robin Hood prince of thieves we know the genres are action, adventures film, in the first few seconds into the film trailer we get a sense of escapism as we can see its based in the past because of the design of the houses and where they are living gives us a different sense of location compared to our daily life.
Action scene is used in 0:51 into the video where we see people in the carriage and horses battling and fighting each other this is a great chase scene for this action film as it suits the time zone, this can make the audience interest in the film as the film has action scenes, 36 seconds into the film trailer we see weapons which is a bow this can give the audience a feeling of escapism as its completely different from modern times, this can make the audience interest because if they like old fashion style films they can watch this. In the film all of the scenes are very fast paced where we have a scene in a house and people fighting transiting into outside in the carriage this makes the audience think its an action film
Mise-en-scene
In the film trailer we automatically think its an old fashion and based in the olden times, we know this because of where the characters are which is in a forest with wooden buildings this suggests that its old fashioned we also know this because of the weapons they used which is spears, bows, carriages these objects are usually linked to old times where electricity wasn't invented yet.
Edit
In the film trailer a lot of camera cuts was used and fade ins and outs was used as-well this gave the film trailer a smooth transition into the next scenes of the trailer and made it very easy for the audience to understand whats happening.
Camera
in the film trailer a lot of long and close up shots were used to express the important of the story line, 37 seconds into the film trailer we see a close up of an item this can make us think why is this item important. we also have a first person view of the arrow 52 seconds into the film trailer. 15 seconds into the trailer we have a lot of cuts this is good because it makes the audience focus more on whats happening this tries to make the audience understands whats going on.
Sound
The sound in the film trailer starts slow and then it gradually develops into up beat action music this gives the audience an idea of what the film is by just listing to the music

Mr Popper's penguin Trailer Analysis

Propps theory of narrative
In film productions they usually use these types of characters in the films, a "hero" someone who is there to save someone or make something better.
They also use a "villein" in films this character is usually someone who is fighting the hero this can be seen in different ways with an actual fight or a verbal fight consisting of stealing etc, villeins are important in films because they will be very boring and will be lacking a lot of features of a decent film.
There is always a villein in a film without a villein the film will usually be boring, the villein in Mr Poppers penguins we think is the penguins because they are acting like a disturbance, but later into the trailer the villein is the zoo keepers who are trying to take the penguins into the zoo.
The donor in Mr Poppers penguins is Tom Popper (Jim Carrey) father, we know this because Tom Popper receives a box with penguins, the penguins also act like helpers to Mr Popper in the trailer.
The helper in the film will be Mr Poppers dad this is because he is the one who gave Tom Popper penguins.

Analyzing Film poster Skyfall

Film Poster
What does the film poster convey?
In the film poster "skyfall" we see title with the words skyfall and 007 under it, The 007 suggests that is a spy/action, because when we see the numbers 007 we automatically think of the the series of action and sky films that has been created this also tells us that there is a new film being part of the series called skyfall.
What characters does the poster show?
In the film poster we see Daniel Craig playing James Bond, this tells us that he is the main character of the film and we can also see a glimpse of the location of where this film will be produced and on the bottom right of the poster, we can also guess that the film will be recorded in a city.
This poster gives a basic understanding of what the film is, this is because we don't see much as we have a slight glimpse of the film.
Mise-en-scene
In the poster we see very dark and bland colours this suggests that the film will be a very dark and sad film with the black colours, we also can see James Bond who is the main character, he is also wearing smart and professional clothing would could tell us that hes in disguise as we know it is a spy film. we also see the classical gun barrel behind the picture this is very common for most James Bond series.We know this is an action/adventure film because James Bond is holding a gun 
Edit
A different type of edit was used for creating this poster, they merged three images together firstly by putting the main character in front of the background, they also added the classic 007 gun barrel which is merged with the city, the colours used in the poster are mostly consisting blacks and whites and also the main character having some colour in the poster.
Camera
The types of camera used here was a mix of a medium and a long shot this is because we get a medium shot of the main character in the film, and then we get a long shot of the city that we think the film will be filmed in.

IT Trailer

IT  Trailer 
In the film trailer we can tell its a horror film from the music that starts playing, the non-diegetic  sound is creepy and mysterious this makes us think this is a horror film as the music is usually associated with that, At the start of the trailer we get glimpses of whats in the film this can make the audience feel scared and worried about what could come next.
what does the title convey?
The title doesn't really make us think it is a horror film, but as this is a remake of the original IT this can bring fans from the old series want to watch the new IT to get a similer or better experience of horror.
We can also link the colours of the scenes in the IT trailer this is because they are very dark colours telling us that the film isn't going to be a happy light heated horror film, this can also create a sense of tense in the film
