Legend Full Length Trailer Analysis

• The film is a historical crime drama, we know this due to the voiceover's first line being: "England in the 1920s" and the use of props that are conventional of the crime genre, for example, guns and violence
• more characters are introduced, although there is much more focus on the twins and their relationship, clearing showing that they are protagonists and highlighting the unique selling point of the film
• the theme of romance is presented through a relationship between one of the twins and a woman, which will appeal to a female audience more than the teaser trailer would, although they are not the priority
• the cast, other than the woman that one of the twins is romantically involved with, are all aged 20+ males, which is the target audience of this film. There is a brief appearance of a female dancer, who, according to Laura Mulvey's male gaze theory, will have been placed in the trailer to attract the TA.
• the music is traditional of the era, not contemporary at all, which suggests that the film is authentic and would appeal to fans of that genre
• a mid shot is used in the last scene of the trailer to show both of Tom Hardy's characters side by side, as this clearly shows the unique selling point and makes it memorable because it is at the very end. A bird's eye view is also used in a scene as one of the twins is holding someone out of a window, which, showing one above the other, suggests the balance of power in a clearly hierarchical society
• The pace in the full length trailer is much slower, although it speeds up towards the end. The contrast engages the audience and does not allow them to get bored
• The dialogue is dominantly the twins, whose slightly different voices highlight the unique selling point of Tom Hardy's acclaimed acting of both characters. This also clearly shows that they are the protagonists of the film
• The credits and intertitles show the production companies Studocanal and Working Title, as well as social networking sites that the film has accounts on, which will appeal to a younger audience that are experienced with technology.
