Peer Assessment of Trailer Analyses

...Bilawal...

The lighting in the trailer is dark, which connotes how the film is a thriller. It shows the film's dark and mature theme and in the appropriate times it becomes dark. The costumes vary. In the daytime the main person's wearing casual clothes however at night he wears hoodies and darker clothes which connote he's about to do something bad. The main prop is a gun. This obviously shows the action and thriller side to the film as throughout the second half of the trailer they keep on aiming guns at each other.

Within some parts of the trailer the lighting used is very low key which connotes a thriller genre; it shows the film has a dark aspect to it as at times the lighting is very dim and murky. Throughout the trailer the costumes vary; in some of the clips shown when it is daytime the main character (Ward) is wearing casual clothes such as jeans and a jumper but at night time his clothing seems to be more darker with him wearing hooded jumpers, baggy jeans and trainers which suggest that he is about to do something bad which may end up with him running away most of the time. The props used within this trailer also set a certain significance into what the genre of the film is, the main props used within the trailer were guns which set a certain action code as it lets us as the audience know what type of action may be featured within the film.

Each characters clothing is fitted to their role in the production. The 'friend' of the 3 way relationship often wears standard clothing in which i mean she doesnt try so hard with the way she looks and doesnt try to look her best ( 0.28 of the production is a good example of this ). She often wears casual,boyish and loose clothes to show the audience she is just the friend of the relationship by resembling it through the style of her clothes and the other female character is made obvious to be the first love interest due to the fashionable, girlish type of clothing she wears ( shown in 0.50 of the production ). The male character in the production is always wearing smart-casual clothing to show a sense of obvious attraction due to the way he always potrays himself to the female characters (part 1.30 of the production shows this). He is always dressed in darker colours compared to the female characters and this somehow shows the audience that he is in the middle of the relationship since the female charcters stand out much more.

Each characters' clothing seen within the trailer mainly suits the role in which they are playing; one of the girls who plays a main role within the trailer is shown to be more of a friend towards the boy at the beginning as she dresses very casually, a good example of this is at 0:28 as viewers get to see as a whole how she dresses. With one of the female actors playing the part of more of a friend towards the male actor, it shows the other female actor playing more of a love interest towards him as she seems to be wearing a lot of fashionable clothes which seem to be girly than the other female's clothes. The male character within the trailer always seems to be dressed casually-smart which connotes him as being the type of character who portrays himself as being some sort of attraction towards the females of the trailer as he comes across as being very mature. The way in which he dresses sets a certain ambience within the trailer as the audience by now have probably figured out that he is trapped between two girls and he doesn't know which one to choose, with the females wearing clothing that is of brighter colours and the male wearing clothing that is of darker colours it really connotes that he is in fact stuck between two loves and he has a very hard decision to make.

Moreover the title of the trailer makes it successful as well.
“A Rappers Ambition” is eye catching to the audience as the target audience are mostly young boys who want to also be successful in the rapping business.
The use of the word “Ambition” shows that rappers want to be judged positively instead of being challenged with a typical stereotype of Rap.

With the title of the trailer being "A Rapper's Ambition" it enables the trailer to become successful as the title basically portrays the narrative behind the film. The use of the word "Ambition" within the title is very eye catching and will not only appeal to it's target audience of teenage boys but also to those who wish to accomplish their goals in the future as it tells the story of how one man will do anything he can in order to reach his dream and become something he has always wanted to be.
