How are youths represented in the trailer?
The youths in this trailer are shown to be very uncaring, irresponsible and up to no good all the time. They are portrayed in a negative but funny sort of way. They are also seen as dangerous as in one of the scenes a young boy is carrying a knife to sort out his problems and this automatically gives a negative view on youths. the youths in this trailer are also portrayed to be not respectable as the main actor is talking to the shop keeper like he is some sort of idiot, this is very rude as it shows they do not respect their elders which is not always the case. of the elderly were to see this trailer it would have a bad impact on youths as they would think all youths are like that and they would feel that youths are not respectable at all.
Who is this trailer aimed at?
This trailer is aimed at young youths around the same age of the young actors in this trailer. So the trailer is mostly aimed at teenagers and also young adults. There are a few scenes and strong language which also indicates that this film is aimed at an older target also the story to this film is very grown up and is another reason why it may be targeted at an older audience. this trailer is mostly for youngsters from the age 14 and over as they would all understand this comedy and as they would all enjoy it, another age group that would enjoy this are older people such as people that prefer a good comedy, this may be because it could take them back to their childhood and they could be out of reality and could have a sense of escapism.
What characteristics of Hollywood can be seen in the trailer?
In this trailer there is barely any characterises which match up to a Hollywood trailer. This is obviously shown in this trailer as it is filmed in a council estate area and public transports are used whereas with a Hollywood trailer it would be set some where more posh. A characteristic which is Hollywood would be the review of a magazine of the movie and also this movie shows the film character’s name towards the end. This film is very low budget which is very opposite to a Hollywood movie.
