Sound : There was music playing right from the beginning it was quite slow, and there is some dialogue to go with the scene. As the scene changes more music comes on which is slightly faster. Another scene begins and another new songs starts, throughout there is dialogue, this music starts off very slow and quiet and gets louder, with some pauses for dialogue. Another songs starts which doesn’t last for long it just changes with the different scenes. Another song starts to play which is louder and faster, it sounds more rock and roll, lots of dialogue throughout this music ends the trailer.
Shot types: The shots start off straight cuts then a few fading shots are used, but mainly straight cut shots because there are so many shots and they move quite quickly.
Mise-en-scene: The scene starts off at a restaurant and there are loads of people. The lighting is quite low. People are dressed up and they are all sat round tables. The next scene is inside some kind of house which the three main characters wake up in, again the lighting is quite low but this time they look quite rough and they are all trying to work out what has happened. There are lots more scenes of different places which they had previously visited. They don’t looked very smart or dressed up during these scenes. More characters come in during different locations with different props.
Editing: There is a use of transitions between scenes which are usually there to provide tension for the audience. There is use of over the shoulder shots so you can see the facial expressions and reactions during a conversation. There is use of panning because then the audience can see things as they are moving. There is use of establishing shot which provides you with a long and wide shot so you can see the location. Match on action is used so the audience can see a movement continuing.
Representation: The characters are represented as laid back, funny, typical men which just want to have a good time, but when things go wrong they can get into a lot of trouble. There characters fit really well for a comedy.
Genre: The genre of this film is comedy/Romance/Action
Analysis
The teaser trailer was 1 min 15 secs long and it gave away very little about the film. You only get introduced to the 3 main guys and you don't see many different shots. There is very little dialogue in this trailer and there are only 11 different shots in the teaser trailer.
The full length trailer was 2 min 32 secs long and it gave away quite a lot of information about the film. It showed a lot of the main dramas that happen in the film and you get to know and meet a lot more characters. You also have a lot more dialogue which gives away information. There are quotes from companies which show you it is a good film.
127 Hours
The teaser trailer was 1 min 47 secs long and during that time there was a variety or short clips and jump cuts which moved fast to 'tease' you. It does not give too much information away because otherwise you would not feel as intreigued. The clips had been cut very short and there was not a lot of dialogue in this trailer.
The full length trailer was 2 mins 41 secs long and during that time a lot more information and character was revealed. The clips are longer and there is a lot more dialogue and the shtos go a lot slower so you have more of a chance to take things in. You also get more of a feel of the movie and you also get to know a little more about the characters. There was also a mention of the director Danny Boyle, and also stamps of approval and awards. This makes the film look like a must-see so the audience will want to watch it.

Transitions: They began faded then straight cut. Each shot was longer and slower at the start to from a tension for the audience and then the shots got faster and they used straight cut transistions to create more of a build up.
Genre : Fantasy/Action/Sci-fi/Animation. It is about space and aliens and life on other planets and it is part animation. Typical codes and conventions for these genres are; chase scenes, weapons, spaceshapes, planets, human V alien, creatures, monsters. This is typical for a fanstasy/sci-fi.
Sound: There was tension building music throughout the teaser trailer and it got faster towards the end of the trailer. The lack of dialogue is what brings about the teasing of the trailer because dialogue would help the audience understand what is happening.
Shot types: Shots like; match on action, eyeline shot, graphic match point of veiw shot, pan, birds eye veiw, low angle shot, high angle shot, extreme close up, establishing shot.
