G.I Joe features
some big actors, such as Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson to
name a few. Like many other films i have looked at, having big actors that have
stared in other big blockbusters helps to attracts bigger audiences as many
people will see any film that comes out with there favourite actor in. (for
instance, many women are attracted to Channing Tatum so they will want to see
this film) the more big name actor that a film has, the larger the potential
audience is. The actors can have a big effect on the the success of films
G.I Joe is an action film which conforms to the majority of
the conventions of the genre, This means lots of explosions, weapons, and
unnecessary action sequences that would just seem ridiculous, all of which are
featured within the trailer, this would attract any existing fans of the genre
to this particular piece.
G.I Joe is a franchise, there has been a previous films, a
popular brand of action figures as well as an animated series, any fans of
either product would be automatically attracted to the movie as they can
reminisce of the old franchise. The Film is a sequel to a previous G.I Joe
movie, meaning that any fans of the previous film would want to see this
particular film.
The soundtrack of the trailer starts around the middle,
after the main feel and story has been appropriately established, this means
that the viewer was able to pick up the majority of the story. This signifies
that the story is not a large part of the film, as the trailer gets it out of
the way quite early into the trailer, it makes the viewer know that the main
attraction of this film is a
collaboration of random violence, elaborate fight scenes and special effects.
Although this is quite a well used technique for the action genre, it has not
been completely exhausted by the genre, as long as there is some sort of
originality to it, a wholesale slaughter film can be entertaining and be very
attractive in the tailer.
At the end of the trailer, Bruce Willis , makes an apperance
which is supposed to be a funny sort of quip, Bruce willis has starred in many
films (e.g Die Hard and Pulp Fiction) this means any fans of Bruce Willis and
his darkly comical style of acting would be attracted to this film by this line
in particular as it indicates that Bruce Willis will not change his style in
this film. This quip is also the final thing said in the trailer, leaving the
viewer with the idea that this film will not take itself entirely seriously.
