Research and planning

Interstellar 

In the trailer of interstellar, the editor had used many editing techniques to portray the theme of the film. Throughout the trailer high-key lighting is used to show everything within the frame so the audience can clearly tell what is happening in the scene. The beginning starts off with the main protagonist saying to his children’s teacher what careers he does which gives a slight insight of what the movie will be about. In addition, a voice over of the teachers  speaking is used towards the middle of the trailer, while scenes of the city/town is being showed which links as he’s talking about the world coming to an end and the scenes being presented look like their country is dying. Furthermore, a couple of seconds later, a dramatic sand storm is shown which tells the audience that the mission of the main protagonist is to save the world. As the trailer progresses on you can see that the protagonist has been told to go to space and find another planet for humans to live on; to save the human race. It also shows him in a space rocket with 3 other characters which suggest they are his assistants on the mission. Furthermore, the clip is aimed at both males and females of the ages between 15-60 year olds. This is mainly because of the concept as its quite difficult to understand and so people below the age of 15 will find the movie very confusing. In addition, the music creates suspense as well as tension as it questions the audience whether the male protagonist will make it back on time in order to see his children.

Camera work: In the trailer there are a few panning and tilting shots used. The over the shoulder shot between the two characters shows the audience that they are having a conversation with each other. Also, the tracking shot  of her walking into the room builds up tension for us to see what will happen next in the scene. Finally, the long shot of everyone sitting down in the room adds to the awkwardness of the scene.

Lightning: The lighting used in the beginning of the clip is low-key lighting. This creates a romantic feel to the scene as they are coming to the end of their date. Furthermore, as they walk into their house the lighting becomes chiaroscuro. This adds to the tension of the scene where dramatic music is also being played. In addition, as they enter the dining room, the lights are turned on which could signify the important shot in the scene. 

Sound: The sound used is non-diegetic which is music that has been added later. This non-diegetic music is parallel to the scene as it builds up tension which allows the audience to stayed engaged in the shot.

Audience: The series is aimed at young people who enjoy watching dramas. This can be due to the fact that the cast are young and able to understand the conventions of the  series. Therefore, the audience is aimed between the ages of 14-30. In addition, the series is aimed to attract both females and males.

Make up & Costumes: The costumes used within the clip are well adapted to suit the roles of the characters. The male is wearing casual clothing and the female is wearing a dress, showing the audience that they can build a relationship with the characters and almost feel as part of the show. 

Props: There have been balloons and food used which is seen on the table which may be to enhance a welcoming feeling to the character as they are doing it sarcastically.

Inbetweeners

Setting: The clip is set in a park which makes the atmosphere seem more natural and will make the audience feel as if they are part of the scene. Also, to add to the natural park setting the directer has used extra people in the background either sitting down relaxing or playing games with each other and not concentrating on what the actors are doing.

Lighting: The type of lighting used throughout the clip is high-key lighting. This is used to show the audience everything within the clip, such as small and minor details which adds to the natural theme of it, as well as showing them what's happening. 

Props: The main props used in the scene is the Frisbee and a football. This links to the park setting as in parks, the main game played is either football or throwing a Frisbee around. Also, whilst playing with the Frisbee, one of the male characters says to his mates that girls love this and shortly after a group of female characters walk by, which  makes the male shout out to them and throws the frisbee towards the,. However, as it is in the air, the audience instantly realise that it will not go to them but to someone else instead which it did creating humour for the audience

Facial expressions/body language: In the beginning of the clip, the facial expressions of the characters are portrayed as confused. This is due to the fact that they are confused as to why they're playing Frisbee instead of Football. This also creates a sense of confusion for the audience as we would ask they same question to ourselves, This is because the audience assume that there will be female characters in the clip which they are just trying to impress by playing Frisbee as apparently they love that sort, however the audience know that girls like boys playing football and so they instantly realise they are portrayed as  the dorky and low characters. Also, the body language of the characters are all normal. by this I mean that it doesn't make out to the audience that it was rehearsed it looks natural which adds to the natural setting of it.

Camera work: In the clip, a wide establishing shot has been used to show the whole park and everything within in to show the audience what's happening and where they are. Also, another shot used was a high-angle shot. This is used on the male character to make him look weak and small which was shown after he threw the Frisbee at the disabled girl. This tells us that he had no common sense and is presented as a careless person another shot used was a medium close-up. This was used to show the facial expressions presented on the characters face, which in this case was quite tense and worried.

Target audience: The target audience of the clip is aimed at both females and males of ages between 15-50. This is entirely because theses ages like comedies such as these. Also, the colloquial language used can link to them as now a days people talk in slang and so the clip will interest them into watching more of it,

The big bang theory

Costume:

The costumes that the characters are seen wearing are casual, which portrays them as average working-class people. Also, the main protagonist is presented wearing a superman top which links to the topic they are talking about. It makes him seem 'nerdy-like' as he talks a lot about it combining it with physics as well. In addition, another character is wearing glasses which connotes the terms: smart and clever.

Lighting:

The lighting used is high-key lighting which allows us to see everything within the clip as well as adding to the realism of it. Also, fillers have been used to enhance the details of the objects and the characters which allows us to clearly see everything.

Facial expressions/body language:

The awkward facial expression portrayed on the characters face in the beginning suggests that he really wants the female to join him and his mates when watching the superman films which tells us he may like he more than a friend. Also, the annoyed facial expression presented on the protagonists face suggests that he is irritated at the fact that the female has no idea that there is more than one superman film. Furthermore, the body language of the actors look natural and not planned which adds to the natural setting of the clip.

Make-up:

The make-up on the females face enhances her features making her look more attractive and the make-up used on the males make them look natural but markless. 

Setting:

The film is set in the corridor of a building where the actors live, which adds to the natural theme of it. The fact that in the background the lift says out of order suggests they're not well-off people as they're living in a flat (as you can there are stairs and a lift) where it looks old and run-down.

Editing:

The editing is continuous as each shot flows onto the next. The editor has has quick cuts which follows the actors whilst they're talking. Medium close-ups have also been used where we can see the actors faces clearly.

Teen wolf  

Setting: 
In the clip of teen wolf, each character has been introduced in different settings. The protagonist is seen in a sandy setting, where he pushes away the sand to signify his strength. Also the characters are seen in dark derelict settings which suggests they could be up to something or hiding something from everyone else. This may have an impact on the narrative, the characters may not want to give away a lot about themselves, which triggers an enigma code.  

Lighting:
The lighting used is low-key lighting throughout the clip. This may be due to the fact that the characters want to hide their identity so the audience will have to watch the whole clip to find out who they really are. This triggers an enigma code, as we want to know what they're character is like as well as share a sense of personality though identification of each of them as the lighting allows us to see parts of their faces and suture into some part of the shot as a silhouette, this engages the audience into the clip more. The lighting also creates dramatic effects as the lighting has been used at different angles rather from directly in front of them which only shows parts of the characters body. In addition, chiaroscuro  is embedded into the clip which creates shadows. Also, back lighting was also used to make their bodies appear more round.

Target audience:
The audience of  Teen Wolf  is mainly aimed at the ages between 16-25, more of the working/middle class people, who range in the ABC2 category. This may be due to the fact their are several violent scenes in the clip, which are not suitable for an audience below 16. The genre of the series are ones like supernatural, science fiction, mystery and sci-fi.

Make up and facial expressions:
The facial expressions allow us to identify with the characters which gives the audience a better insight as to who they are and in order for us to suture into the narrative. The make up allows us to get full coverage of the characters/protagonists, it is kept natural so that it does not look out of the narrative. The facial expressions were very tensed and uncommonly a slight smile would appear on their faces, this may suggest the seriousness of the narrative and plot.

props: swords were used in this opening sequence, this is an iconic feature which connotes violence and even danger, which leads us to thinking that conflict will take place in the narrative. The clothing of the characters is almost mostly normal which allows us to identify with them and understand who they are and what their personalities are like eg, the boy mixing potions with casual clothing seems like a cleaver teenager who will potentially help with the bringing back equilibrium.
