Analyse film trailer '300'

Costume - They were overalls and there is a bear. Showing his chest and skin. Like they did back in Roman times. The child is shown when he was young and the shot is looking up at him to show his superiority.

Lighting - The beginning is dark, king and princess is shown in light. Medium shot underneath 4/5 men on animals going to war. the lighting is dark but the person is surrounded by white mist to show they are good and fighting for good. At the end it shows the date it will come out and the name of the film in red blood to show violence and it is written in the sky to show the weather is dramatic.

Audience - Appeals to people who are into violence and wars and made up animals. Appeals to teenagers and young adults who enjoy mysterious films and make belief people.

Mise en scene - Snow on the moutins. Set in Sparta, kind of in Rome. Set in fields and battle zones to battle the enemies who tresspass the land. Sea and oceans.

Props - Swords, Knives, shields and arrows.There is also a setting at sea when enemies and the good do battle for there land, Sparta. Horses to ride on and do battle.

Setting - Mountains, set in Sparta and battle zones and fields. When all the enemies are running they are shown to be strong and powerful to destroy the good for the land. kissing to show there is a romance and love. The sound is dramatic and shows the difference between good and evil, when good appears there is powerful, victorious music.
