Trailers shown at the cinema or on television before a film is released are important ways of getting the film’s message to a wide audience. A trailer can tell us:
Watch the trailer, find a partner and then make notes about the following:
Genre – what type of story is being told? Funny? Real life? Historical?
Give examples from the trailer to back up your choice.
Plot – what are the key events that are shown in the clip? Why do you think these have been chosen?
Audience – who is most likely to go and see this film and why?
Share your thoughts with the rest of the class.
