Task 1: how does Emmet come across? How effective would this trailer be in promoting the film?
Emmet is an ordinary guy who is not hasn't got the 'normal' characteristics of a hero. he is overly happy about everything and wants to be liked by everyone. hes not got the typical leader qualitys as he isn't assertive since he pays 37 dollars for a cup of coffee and doesnt say anything. he hasn't got the normal fitness as a super hero as he struggles to do even two star jumps before he gives up whereas typical heroes are very strong and do lots of running and cool tricks. he has to step up to the expectations from Lucy and the others which he cannot do. he believes he is imaginative but Lucy and the others disagree so he tries to prove them wrong by creating a double decker sofa to watch tv on but the idea is quickly shut down. heroes are usually quick on their feet and avoid disaster however to become a hero he falls down a hole which is clumsy. he has no faith in himself as he stands up in front of everyone and says he is not a good leader.
How effective would this trailer be in promoting the film?
this trailer would be very effective as it is very comedic and makes lots of people laugh. It shows a normal guy become a hero slowly so it makes regular people feel like they can be like emmet and be special like him. the bright colour scheme also makes people more intrigued as its nice to look at.
Mark 7/10
ReplyDeleteYou write confidently on how Emmet is represented: you understand that he is an 'regular guy' who is physically unfit, timid and unadventurous, easily pushed around and keen to conform and be liked, rather than stand up for himself. You support your points with evidence - good. You note that he has the potential for change because Wyldstyle believes in him.
Your answer on the overall appeal of the trailer is rather thin and does not show your knowledge of the trailer nor understanding of the action adventure genre. You should also consider what it promises audiences, in particular, comedy, excitement and colour. You could add 'action adventure' themes like chase, quest, spectacle and also a big range of characters in the cast.
