I have already decided on what film I wanted to do, and that was an action film with comedy elements because that would be playing to my strengths of video editing and my keen interest in writing for comedy.
The film I have decided to de-construct is the 2003 British comedy film "Johnny English".
The film has been aimed at large audience group because the humour is very generic with no specific targets of the jokes. It also appeals to people who are familiar with the James Bond series so they can appreciate the humour and jokes.
The trailer is very good and getting the genre across without forcing it upon the audience, it also portrays the main characters and cast in an subtle fashion without once again forcing it upon the audience.
The first shot is of the ouside of a mansion at night. This is to create a serious feeling to the trailer. This could have been used to miss lead the audience. This is enhanced through out the beginning of the trailer.
Through out the trailer the theme constantly switches between action to comedy in an instance,
This i feel is used to confuse the audience but to also intrigue the audience to investigate this film more.
at 00:35 the trailers theme changes to a comedy setting and this is achieved by changing the voice overs approach. when this voice over changes to this style, it gives a sense of comedy and amusement at the main characters expense.
The trailer up to 01:19 the main character is listing all the quality's an expert agent needs however the video contradicts what he is saying as if once again to mock him.
