HOMEWARD BOUND TRAILER

ANALYSIS:

By Sophie McGrath

Sound:

To begin with, there is use of a voice over which adds more meaning to the trailer and adds extra sections to the film trailer.

Then there is a soundtrack which is a soft sounding track which could connote a journey, dog film etc.

Finally the is a lot of dialogue in the trailer ‘cats rule and dogs drool’ this is a common phrase which is said by many young children so they could relate to this and they would want to watch the film because of this.

Camera:

Depth of field was used when they were leaving the dog. This was used to show how we feel sorry for the dog. It would make us want to watch the film as we would want to know what happens to the dog in the end.

In addition to this low angles were used which is common for dog films as they need to be able to see the dogs face clearly.

Editing:

In the beginning there is an insert of the company ‘Disney’ logo. By adding an insert of the Disney logo we would want to watch the film as the company make very successful movies.

Straight cuts are used throughout the trailer between all the animals to show that they are all the main character and not one of them takes over the spotlight.

There also is another insert ‘two thumbs up’ ‘masterpiece’ this shows how successful and good the film is, this would make me want to watch the movie as the critics think that its good.

Mise En Scene;

The lighting tends to be fairly light which connotes that the film is happy.

The location of the forest shows how house cats and dogs can have a wild side to.
