Within this task I will be watching four different movie trailers which consist of 'The Hangover', 'Star Trek into Darkness', 'The expendables 2' and 'Fish Tank'.
Firstly, what is genre?
- Genre is something in which is used to label films in a certain way for example if the film is funny it would tend to be a comedy. But as for all the different films out there they all tend to have their own codes and conventions which are generally adhered to by the directors of those specific films.
The first clip in which I will be looking at is 'The Hangover':
From watching this specific scene you can generally tell that the film is comedy as well as the technical codes in which is telling us this due to the fact that the clip starts randomly with a guy who is in a state and looks to be 'Hungover' which suits the film name and generally not remembering what had happened the previous night before. As for why it would generally be within the comedy genre, this would be due to the fact of what they are saying being goofy and just their general way of saying jokes out loud.
The clip itself shows that it is comedy just from the character's reactions and attitudes to what is going on for example where the character who goes to the bathroom first in the beginning of the clip and doesn't notice the tiger but when he does he doesn't even properly notice until a few seconds later and makes a run for it. This initially shows the audience that due to the intoxication of the alcohol from the night before and the hangover, that he wasn't really awake fully and reaction's were slow, but once he had realised it was obvious he was scared as he ran screaming which is generally humorous for the audience to see. In terms of the mies-en-scene within the clip the audience can generally get the sense that the film is comedy just based off the fact that their hotel room is looking like it has been thrown under a bus, from the previous night and they have random, goofy objects around the rooms.
Now moving onto the second clip in which I will be analysing which is 'Star Trek into Darkness':
From this clip we can clearly see that the film is a Sci-Fi genre. We are able to tell this as it is generally on another planet with different surroundings in terms of nature. The main cast within the film scene are trying to escape the planet we can see this as they are generally running towards their space ship to then fly out of the atmosphere. I can also tell that it is science fiction due to the fact that spaceships are being used and the general clothing in which is being worn by the cast. The main character who is known as 'Spock' is seen wearing a spacesuit which I feel gives the feeling of it being sci-fi as he is nearing down to a volcano. However, in regards to action/ adventure genre the scene/ movie could be seen as a part of it as of the use of cinematography as well as editing. With this they are generally using quick and sharp shots of the cast running away from their foes. Another example would be when Spock is in his spacesuit inside the volcano trying to stop the eruption. Through all of this, this would be effective as it generally builds up tension with the audience as well as adding action to what we are actually seeing on the screen.
Penultimately, I will be looking at 'The Expendables 2':
From this clip I can generally see that the film is within the action and adventure genre and I know this as I can see that there are guns, explosions as well as the cast who are behind it. The cast are known as 'Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham as well as Arnold Schwarznegger'. I can generally see this from the clip that the genre is action and adventure due to the technical codes which are being used within the cinematography as well as the editing is seen as to be very fast paced which goes along with all the action which is happening within the screen.
The overall extract in clearer detail I feel is action genre generally looking at how it is fast paced editing as it is effective due to it helping convey the speed of the overall action, it also is adding a huge sense of danger to the protagonists finding themselves in.
Ultimately, I will be talking about 'Fish Tank':
With Fish Tank it is generally noticeable that the film is a 'Social Realism' film genre and I can tell this by just watching the short clip as it is dealing with day to day lives and real life situations and dangers which generally would occur on a day to day basis with people. Also generally looking at the mise-en-scene it is clear to see that anyone who is set on an estate which everyone can potentially relate to, on top of that with the casts costumes they are wearing everyday clothing such as tracksuits. Looking at the cinematography which was used within the extract would be defined as being generally long as it is within the social realism genre. Audiences can have that general sense of being able to relate to the characters as it is 'Social Realism'.

Tim Burton
Information which was revised pre, talking heads video:
Tim burton talking heads revision from rhyspainter
I decided to change from Ridley Scott to Tim Burton as I felt with Tim Burton he was more common towards me as in the films in which I had seen and in the way in which I had more to write about.
