Deadpool Trailer Analysis

This is the trailer for the deadpool movie that came out in February 2017. The trailer starts with a very brief equilibrium but most of the trailer shows disruption. The trailer meets Todorov's Theory of Narrative but not as much as a normal trailer usually would. The reason the trailer may show more of the disruption then anything else is because this is an action film and therefore wants to show as much as action as they possibly can in the trailer to capture the audience they are aiming at. The sound is very effective in the trailer as it has music go on throughout the trailer, this music sets a theme for the movie as its a very hard rock music type and sets the theme of blood, gore, fighting and guns. The movie is an action with a comedy sub genre, this is shown well in the trailer as the music stops for some of the main characters lines so that audiences can hear what he says and is aimed at being funny. The camera shots are used effectively throughout the trailer and shows who is the main character without giving away the storyline for the movie. The trailer doesn't show us who will be the villain this could be done on purpose to add effect and intrigue audiences to the movie. There is quite a lot of the mid-shot being used in this trailer this could be because they want to show as much as possible and give audiences what they want. mise-en-scene is a very important aspect to every movie and therefore needs to be shown well in the trailer, mise-en-scene becomes more important when it is a superhero movie as its mainly about the costume and audiences will want it to be as close to the comic version as possible. Mise-en-scene is effective in the trailer as audiences do enjoy the costume and it is clearly shown who is the bad guys as they are mainly dressed in black which connotes to villains. The trailer shows enough to the audience to tease them but doesn't give too much away on the story which is good as they do not want to give away the whole movie and make it too predictable.
