the town, as complete misery is about to
strike as marvel super heroes such as iron
men, and the Hulk lead haffock on the
town, as peace keeping agency do all they
can to stop the town going into a disaster.
This is an extreme close up camera
angle of the incredible Hulk , he is one
of the avengers , who is out to cause
mayhem, and destroy the world, it is
up to the peace agency to come up
with a smart plan to defeat the
marvels, and stop them from ruling
the town.
5. Camera angles
This is a over the shoulder shot , of
which shows 2 characters of
which one is feeling the force of
the fire going through them, it
identifies how dangerous, and
how vulnerable the town is , unless
the agency can stop the marvels
from causing complete chaos.
This is a low angle shot of Dr Fury of who is the
leader, and is on a mission to get his troops together,
and try and save the world from being destroyed.
What this camera angle signifies is that he is an
important figure , he is a figure of authority , n which
everyone follows his orders. What this shot signifies is
his authority , and how much power he has, this is also
shown in the position of which he takes up, his
posture his not slouched, it shows , he is of a
demanding personality .
This camera angle is an aerial/ establishing
shot, what this shot tells us is it identifies
what kind of state the area is in, and the
establishing shot sets the scene showing
all the different surroundings and scenery ,
us as the audience can identify lots from
this
6. MISE EN – SCENCE-
PROPS
Here are 4 screenshots from the movie, of which all describe the different props in which
the different characters had at their disposal, for example in the first image there is a
picture of a fire , where cars have been blown up this suggests un rest in the town, and
action is about to take place. The second image describes people dressed up as army
people are destroying the town throwing, rifle shots through the air , and causing
disharmony and worry among town pedestrians, the next image shows off some of the
avengers with armed weaponry, ready to disrupt the city, finally the last image shows
another avenger in which he is shown showing off a borrow arrow. Of everything in
which i have discussed all the goings on really makes me as a watcher take in the mood
and the atmosphere around in the movie, the images give a clear indication of the
representation of the message in which the movie aims to get across , in creating the
right mood and atmosphere shows of the representation in what props the characters
are armed with also gives us the opportunity as viewers to judge weather the film is
being portrayed correctly to fits it’s genre it is trying to represent.
7. Costumes
Each screenshot shows the different types of costumes in which
the different characters in the film wear, what the characters wear
gives us the audience a big signification into the personalities of
each individual, for example straight away we can identify that
most costumes worn in the film are black, from this we represent
black as danger, i also represent black as either detectives, or bad
guys on a mission to cause mayhem, and disturb the mood around
the city.
8. SOUND
Sound in this film is used to very good affect, for example the dialogue in which is used
throughout the film is of a very worried and threatening nature , as the avengers are on a
mission to destroy the world, the good guys who are trying to save it speak very
demanding , and director fury heads the procedure, and the way in which he speaks tells us
that he is the man that people look up to, and other characters are in turmoil thinking that
the job on their hands is impossible. As a movie trailer this film contains lots of rhythm as
the music which heads the film , is in complete sync to the verbal dialogue and atmosphere
, of which the film contains. Straight away at the beginning the audience are eligible to
connect with the film as they can connect with the goings on, as people in the city are
running away, straight after this there is a voiceover which ensures that you can get a
perspective of what is going on. As well as this throughout the trailer there is constant
action this is shown through the digetic sound this sound is of a very vast pace, and is in
sync with the timing , the sound tells us as the audience that the film is going to be packed
full of entertainment and action. The soundtrack of which the movie is represented by , and
the film uses is a crucial part of the trailer , the reason for this is it sets the pace of what the
movie is likely to be like , and you can tell how quick or slow the movie is to get out the
blocks. Music tracks also are usually suited to the type of genre the movie is trying to
portray, weather it be a comedy , or horror, different vibes are felt through soundtrack
which is a powerful criteria for a trailer. Within the trailer we see / hear a voiceover, this
voiceover talks over the action happening at the beginning, however, as the film carries on
we see the image of the person who is doing the voice over from a low angle shot from a
low angle shot, up to an angle where we can see the expression on the characters face this
is called a sound bridge.
9. Representation
Representation is very important when putting together a movie trailer, when looking at
representation this means taking into account each of the characters that are going to be taking part
in the film and identify what different types of representation they fit in with, and how this particular
representation fits in with the chosen genre, in this case action/sci- fi . For example most of the
characters that appear within in this film wear black costumes, and are dressed up as crime super
heroes, which indecently makes you believe that they are villians , and are going to be the vocal point
of the film, and make it difficult, which makes you think that there is going to be a massive job on in
stopping them from causing mayhem . As well as this the action in which the characters take shows
us and tells us a bit about their personalities weather they are in charge and in demand, or weather
they just wait for instructions, take a back seat and wait for something to happen this can also tell us
about body language and temperament, weather they are patient, or whether they lose their temper
, we can then identify which characters will make the most impact in the film and we can decide if they
are sneaky or venerable we can make snap judgements. Also as well we can read what kind of
characters we are dealing with through the dialogue in which they speak from this we can identify
what role in which they take during the film whether they play minor or major parts and discover their
true identities. All of this is needed in getting across to the audience watching, if this is done correctly
then the audiences can see as they are watching the evolvement and development of how the
characters grow and are seen as heroes and villains come out strongly, and can be acknowledged by
the audiences that watch.
10. Genre
For every film in which is carried out , the films that are created are set out to portray certain genre’s
for example the Marvel avengers is certified as a action, adventure sci fi film , as this is the case the
production team that put this film together before going out they need to be positive that every
aspect of what the film contained is of the nature of what the certified genre the film is meant to get
across , what this means is all the action that is going on is related to action and adventure, this is
then the expediency of what the audience watching expect to find when observing the film closely .
What the audience will be doing is watching to see that the reviews and write ups on the films, and
what the film describes it contains happens. If this happens then the audience will be satisfied , but
making sure the film suits the genre is vital because without this being correct, then the feedback
would get back lashed, and the film would get heavy critics for not being the film designed for what it
is shown to represent for those viewing it
11. Editing- Marvel
Avengers
When making trailers for movies there are lots of editing
which take place the reason for this is because so much needs
to happen in the few minutes in which a trailer needs to
have, all the different shots are taken at different angles and
are moved at various paces the reason for this is so when it is
being advertised the viewers who view it at home they are
feeling and capturing the tension in which the film is trying to
create. At various points through the trailer cuts to different
shots, however what is sometimes done as is during this
trailer are reverse shots , when a shot is taken it would
explain part of what is happening , it would then return to
continue the scene later on in that trailer, but still is able to
create cliff hangers which then temps the viewing audience to
want to check it out. As well as this the type of shot is also
zoomed in on the camera lens, what this then shows , is how
affective or how dramatic or crucial element of the film is ,
and makes you think what the film is trying to make you draw
out from the action.
12. Mood , atmosphere , emotional response
With the movie the Marvel avengers , right from the off the film is fast to get out
the tracks straight away you can identify the storylines, and know the
plot/synopsis of what the film will entail, the good thing about knowing about this
is it intensifies your mood from the off , and grips you to your seat where as if it is
a slow mover it can take up to 30 minutes until the first eye catching moment
appears , which can be a let down for the movie taking too long to get in the
story. Marvel avengers is a prime example of a fast paced action movie as action
is quick to happen as haffolk descends on the town, and war begins, whilst
watching the trailer the response in which the audience receive from this is
positive as throughout the film the action is very consistent as this is an action
film the mood in which the audience will have a theme to make sure that the
audience who watch the film are indulging in anticipation, and are left hanging on
the edge of their seats , hence the type of genre action.
13. effects/ use of
graphics
Here I have stated different images from marvel avengers
movie, each of which have a message behind them, these
messages indicate the mood, atmosphere that surrounds the
film . From each clip we can identify that the film is very action
based , for example endless crowds of people results in
danger, we can tell this because they a runny in a hurry, next
explosions are appearing, we can tell from this that the town is
in a unsecure and vulnerable position, and some war against
the town in proceeding, then we have all the different
superheroes in which we can tell that they are in force
together, and look ready for battle, and finally all the
explosions give the audience a sense that the city is not safe,
and choas will happen as it needs to be resolved.
14. Narrative
Basically the narrative follows a city which is in perel as it is about to be the point of war, and all the
people who are in the city are in danger for their lives as war starts, and Marvel super heroes such as iron
man, Hulk and friends are in demand to cause chaos and destroy the city. Meanwhile as this is happening
the peace making agency know as S.H.IELD , head of this is director fury does everything in his power to
stop the super heoores from causing unrest in the city and destroying the world,as well as the people
living in it, his job is to make the city a peaceful place again, but with the assistance of his agency .
However the question is will be able to do it in time before the super heores which include Hulk , Thor,
and iron man take over.

has to move away for a year in which to start
her new job, the expression on tom’s faces a
look of concern as the wedding has to be put
off while violet pursues her job ambitions for
uni of Michigan for 2 years.
This shows a close up of violet’s facial expression when
tom pops the question and asks violet to marry him, it
shows the joy and elation in her face, and shows her
eagerness to get the process of marriage started.
17. Camera angles
This is a tracking shot, these shots happen when the camera is moved
along to keep up with the continuous camera angles of different
girlfriends that Tom has had , this is a fast , and in-depth look which
draws the audiences attention in the direction of the screen
This is a point of view shot of which violet tells Tom
that she has been promoted in her new job, and she
will have to stay in Michigan longer, he struggles to get
his head round it, and is starting to change his mind
about how happy he really is that Violet stay has been
exstended, which then grips the audience into
wondering what the next step for the couple will be.
18. Camera angles
This is a mid shot of Violet in which shows her facial
expressions to the reaction of being told that her stay
could be extended longer, however this shot only shows
from the waist up, and shows her content with the work
that she has been putting in.
This is a close up of a web chat with the
family of bride to be , of which they have a
conversation to see and make sure when
the wedding is planned from the
expressions on their faces there is worry
and concern how long the wedding will
take to get underway.
This is a subjective angle , this happens when we can see
the subject, and this then is able to engage with the
audience to involve them to understand and build
memorable moments within the film as you can see here
Violet and Tom are babysitting , and have aloud the child to
get hold of a crossbow.
19. Mise en scene- Props
This prop is a big interactive screen ,
where the best mate of tom’s is here
demonstrating, and digging into
tom’s past, in which shows all the
different girls in which tom has been
with.
This prop shows violets family sitting around the table which
shows both of the families of Tom and violet who are
wondering when their marriage will take place, however as
they are talking to family members , us as the audience can
see a sense of uncertainty about a finalised date to get wed
which is a worry.
Here is another prop , in which is used in the film, it is a type of
networking , Violet and tom were talking to their parents
about the wedding and when it will be taking place, their
concern is the amount of time taking to make arrangements
for the wedding, warning them if you leave it to late
something may happen.
20. Costumes
Here shows the to be couple violet and Tom , here
shows them dressed up in a formal, from this
representation of how they dress this shows us they
are dressing to impress one another, and make
good impressions, it also tells us that some big
event is about to take place.
These out fits show them having a mini party
before the actual wedding , the outfits which are
on show are very suitable to the event in which is
happening they are all dressed smartly for the
event, with excitement and joyful time ahead.
21. Sound
At every point during the trailer of the film, the sound in which has been used to brilliant affect in this film, it is
used for different purposes , for example during the film it is a very long journey with ups and downs , and the
trailer wants to express this to the audience watching, for example as Violet and Tom’s wedding plan’s are going
up in the air , background music is played with a Montague of different shots showing the patching times, this is
fitting to the type of atmosphere that the movie director wanted to create he used the track it’s OK CREATED
BY CE-LO GREEN , the rhythm of the choice of the choice of music gets out the message whatever happens in
your life and you have plans, plans may get delayed but they will be eventually sorted out , and you will get done
what you started and were meaning to do, this message was meant to be bolstered out to the viewing audience
who watched the film. The music that is played for trailers are symbols of moods that are been created within the
characters frame of mind the camera angles issue the expressions on the characters faces , showing emotion of
how they are feeling, the viewers watching are then able to identify how the character is coming across and
feeling at this moment. At the begining of the trailer the intro music is again fitting to the type of genre it is
promoting Plan B she said this is fitting song for people who are going to get Wed. Each type of sound that is use
is suited to the film, and is in time and in sync with the movie trailer, they also give the viewers expectations of
goings on in the film , the mood tempered, or happy and relaxed, violent for example.
22. Representation
In this film representation is also vitally important for example the main representations in which the film is trying to
represent and get out to the target audience , in this case the target audience are boy friends and girlfriends , and potential
couples or married couples who are together , however the comedy element that is put in place makes other type of
audiences enjoy this film as well. During the film the film represents real life events and shows the process of the marriage
couple and the consistent journey in which they find themselves ups and downs always having problems along the way, of
the characters within the film having watched the film watching the main characters , the way in which they act for example
bride to be Violet is an ambitious girl, we see this when she recieves the letter from the uni of michigan saying that she has
got her placement , but will have to move over there in order to per sue this move any further, what this meant was a change
for both violet and Tom, violet who has to change where she is living, and Tom will have to give up his position as a chef, and
find a new job in Michigan. This also went that the wedding which was going to planned would have to be postponed for a
while still not knowing when the most suitable time is for this, as an audience member watching this we identified the un
convincing thoughts on the date’s twice during the film, once when the parents of the to be wed couple were discussing
when they had arranged for, and when they were on web chat both times we noticed how unconvinced they were of when
the big day is going to arrive . The representations that I associate from violet is that she is very Driven, Ambitious and
fiesty. On the otherside Tom has much more to get to grips the movement to Michigan, the re arranged wedding , new
placement , the extension of her job of which he is not conviced he can be happy where ihe is beyond the orginal point of 2
years at the placement of which Violet is studying.
23. Genre
With this film the five year engagement it clearly shows what type of genre movie in which it is trying to
promote we can pick apart lots of different details from the trailer which helps us signify and identify the
type of trailer in which the fiver year engagement is showing us, for example the main basis of the film
follows the constant journey of 2 people and their family and friends. It takes us through the highs and
lows of their relationships and the difficult strains that different situations put on their relationship, and
move them closer to disruption, and thinking that question will we ever get married Also the
soundtracks which play on the trailer whilst you are viewing the film trailer give a big indication to the
type of genre it is following, the five year engagement is all about love, this is promoted quite well during
the trailer with carefully handpicked music to suit the mood/ atmosphere of the situation in hand or the
characters point of view how they are feeling at the time of that particular shot, the music is picked
carefully so the audience know what kind of tempo the movie is at. With genre the movie also has to
think about what type of audience it is going to be generated to, so it has to have the right mixture to
match and suit the film weather it be a comedy factor, a serious film, or an animated film, the techniques
that are put in place have to fit the genre of film.
24. Narrative
This film follows the ups and downs of a couple called Violet and Tom of who want to get married, however with her
sister already wed to tom’s best mate and them not wed yet she cannot believe her sister is married before she is, the
massive turning point in the film is when they finally pluck the courage to ask one another and say yes Violet receives
a letter from a Uni of which she has applied for a job in Michigan of which has been accepted for a 2 year course , in
which means sacrifies have to be made by both parties , delays, misaps, and dissapoint along the way, plus Violet
getting a job extension hence one of the reasons it is called the five year engagement
25. Atmosphere, Mood, emotional response
Having been able to watch the film I have got a more solid idea about of how this film makes the audience
feel, firstly I am going to start with the atmosphere in which the film surrounds straight away by the name
the five year engagement you know what you were expecting, and although It took the couple a while to
tie the knot the atmosphere which the film had was still a very quirky and upbeat film it did not disappoint
although they did not have the wedding straight away, all the different obstacles in which got in the way ,
the action was pretty much none stop , with action all the way which made the atmosphere exciting,
however in the film it was a non stop rocky path, with horrific consequences and massive lessons learnt.
the mood within the film changed throughout, the mood all depended on the situation of which was
taking place as to the different characters mood and reaction were weather they were happy, sad, or even
angry they changed into different moods depending on the circumstances , with reference to the
characters moods it was quite easy to identify for a viewer as the body language showed off how they
were feeling at that present moment, and why they were feeling the way they were. This helped the
audience watching understand what the mood was like for some of the characters in the film, and how
much pressure and frustration they felt, as different obstacles are getting in the way , as the big wedding
day arises. Finally as far as emotional response this is shown throughout the film as we grow to see the
highs and the lows of the characters who are getting married and the struggles that they come to face, we
then begin to understand how and why the journey has become so difficult, and as we put together the
pieces for ourselves we begin to understand and be able to connect with the storyline of which is trying to
be created, and then see why it has taken the couple so long to be a couple, with some comedy elements
added to keep the audience on it’s toes.
26. Editing
Here I have shown different clips of the film these are called a
Montague of clips in which are clips that are put together in
chronological order in which to show a significant key of events that
take place , for example each one of the clips in which I have chosen
have a significance behind them, the first one the couple are trying
to find each other after a night out , but has you can see bad luck has
struck as violet gets hit by the car , this can be taken 2 ways as a
comedy element, or you feel sorry for everything going wrong for
her, next we see the couple sitting down together in a for boyant
mood trying not to let anythig get to them, and continue to be
upbeat about everything working out, next a look back at when they
first met each at the costume party, and how they first went about
connecting with one another, finally was the inevitable the delay
that it takes to be a couple, the wait was to long as one of the
relatives close to Violet had died more bad luck, this is one of the
final straws we the audience watching think to themselves is this
ever going to happen.

28. Camera angles
This is a close up shot of John and his bear sat
beside each other, the image portrays how John has
grown up , and this shot shows the close bond in
which shows how close they have become.
This shot is an establishing shot in which sets
the scène to where the film is going to take
place , and where the film begins the setting
is very bright , and looks as if we are going to
get an in-depth look into the storyline.
This shot is a 2 shot it shows John and Ted close together it
shows how much they are close, that they are a very tight
bond , which they are together at every point.
30. Mise en scene - props
This is a point of view shot , this shot shows the 2 in the car , and shows
the comedy element showing Ted driving the vehicle this is an
interesting view point , this is because in real life you would not see
this happen a teddy bear driving but it gives the film a sense of
humour, and unique with a sense of originality.
Here shows a close up shot of Ted in the middle of all
his girlfriends having a party, leading a life of luxury,
which is quite a quirky and bizarre considering this would
not happen in real terms this film very much pushes
imagination in a comedy way.
Here is a long shot it shows John and Ted walking down
the street together, the surroundings give a feeling as to
what kind of state the town they live in is, and what type
of place that they live in.
