Legend Teaser Trailer Analysis

• this is the first trailer we looked at as a class before deciding on the genres of our films and is a historical crime drama, shown by generic conventions such as guns and casinos
• apparent narrative is foreign gangsters some to London looking for members, suggested by the dialogue, although it is still mysterious, which engages the audience
• unique selling point is that Tom Hardy plays both Kray twins, which is highlighted by one of the first scenes being them on either side of an unnamed character
• target audience of 18+ males as this is what all the cast shown in the teaser trailer are
• non diegetic sound used is contemporary indie rock music, which would appeal to fans of the band whose song it is
• close ups used to introduce characters, a long shot to show one of the twins with a car, which demonstrates their wealth even in their brief introduction
• there is a contrast of fast paced action shots and slow dialogue scenes
• there are about 4 characters speaking and a lack of voiceover
• special effects used in the teaser trailer are the obvious editing of Tom Hardy as he is playing both twins and an explosion
• credits and intertitles show the production companies (Studiocanal and Working Title) as well as the headings 'Power', 'Fear' and 'Family' before the title, which outline the main themes of the film
