Robin Hood Prince of Theives Trailer Analysis

This is the trailer for the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. In the trailer we can already tell that the movie is an action/adventure movie. We can see this because of the arrow firing and the chase scenes. We can also see a love interest which we tend to see in action movies to interest the female viewers. The music helps us realize it is an action movie as it intensifies as the trailer goes on, the song also went top of the charts for 3 months running. There are multiple genre indicators in this short trailer such as the swords. The swords represent some sort of fight sequence and we will likely see close combat. Another genre indicator to it being an action movie are the war horses, the horses aren't like normal horses as they have armour on and belts filled with weapons. This connotes to chase scenes which we usually see in action movies. The generic action movie shows car chase scenes and the weapons are usually guns but this shows the same things but in its own old fashion way, instead of cars we got to see horses and instead of guns we got to see swords, it gave us a taster into something new and it paid off as the movie was a big hit. A few other genre indicators are the blood and gore we see in this trailer, blood usually connotes to an action movie as the characters fight most of the duration of the movie.
Towards the end of the trailer we are left with a few enigmas such as why are these people fighting in the first place? Who is the main antagonist? We are left with these questions so we can watch the movie and answer the questions. The USP would be the actor Kevin Costner the reason for this is because Kevin Costner is a really popular actor and audiences would have seen his movies before and would know that they are usually good and popular movies.
