trailer analysis deadpool

This trailer is for an action comedy therefore it has to have a good balance of action and comedic elements, this is shown through the music as to show the comedic side the film, the trailer starts with a very 90's hip-hop beat which is synonymous with the character this gives the die hard fans of this character the side they all crave and it also gives the newer fans to this character a incite into how he works and how the film is going to work, also when the action scenes start they music changes and becomes more tense, this shows that although the film seems to be based around comedy a lot there is still a lot of action to be seen in the film and we should expect to be thrilled and amazed by the action scene.
We so get a convention of action films which is a voice overly, this sets the scene that the main character is telling a story about what has happened to him or her and therefore it also creates an enigma code of what happened past the brief explanation given by the main character. This also helps with the story telling as it may be seen as a superhero film therefore people would then think that it is going to be like the superhero films that we have seen in recent years this contradicts that and adds a element of mystery to the film.
The shot types start with a mid-shot of the main character with some background but it is not set in one place we then see a couple of multi-shots with the main character having a conversation with the cab driver and then we see the first quick action shots of the trailer which show the action genre it its fullest, the action cuts make the trailer seem jam packed with big action scenes. We also see a montage of shots of the title character in a lab which may suggest an science fiction side to they story which may draw people in to the film. This is also a look into the origins of this character therefore giving the audience even more information about this character but also creating more of an enigma on why the people who wrong him did so and why he is after them.
The storyline from the trailer shows an origin story about a superhero who needs revenge for something that was done to him therefore he then becomes a superhero, there is one big plot point which is revealed is that the movie universe this film is based is in the X-men universe which is an established franchise and this will attract people who like that franchise in as they will want to see how he relates to the franchise.
Overall, the target audience is a young adult range therefore the trailer does well to include jokes that the younger side of that demographic will get while it blends with the action that it needs to attract the whole demographic, one mistake they made have made is making the trailer a 18 as it takes assay the young audience that the other superhero films may be getting, but this will attract even more adults as it is not made for kids like their superhero have been.
