Comparing Film Trailers of Mission Impossible Two and Gladiator
In the essay I will compare and analyse the two film trailers I have
been studying, ‘Mission Impossible 2’ and ‘Gladiator’. I will analyse
and compare the different techniques used. These techniques are; Use
of characters, lighting and colour, camera shots and angles, sound and
music and editing and framing. In doing this I will be able to show
how effective each trailer is in attracting an audience.
Film trailers are an important form of advertising for a film. They
should convey the genre of the film and most importantly, include
enough visual information to allow us to recognise what the film’s
story line is. However, a film trailer should not include too much
information about it, or show any scenes that are not suitable for
younger viewers. It should also try to attract a certain target
audience by almost making the film seem better than it actually is,
but not lead the viewer to false pretences, and making them think it
is about something it is not.
To begin, in ‘Mission Impossible 2’, there are lots of different
angled shots when Tom Cruise is climbing up the canyon. There is a
close up to begin with, and you are able to see that he is not wearing
a harness or any safety equipment. This makes his character seem
fearless and the type of person who laughs in the face of danger. The
moment Tom Cruise slips, the camera moves to a high-angle mid shot so
that you are able to see him dangling off the edge, holding on with on
hand. You can also see the vast drop that he may face if he loses his
grip. This excites the audience and you are on the edge of your seat

language used. He says that one day he will get his revenge. This
intrigues the audience as they want to know what he wants revenge for.
After al of my analysing, I have decided that u prefer the ‘Mission
Impossible 2’ trailer. It is a lot more exciting and I think that it
advertises the film a lot better than the ‘Gladiator’ trailer. It
makes the film look more action-packed and enthralling. The action
scenes are more convincing then ‘Gladiator’s’ and would attract a
wider audience due to al of the different types of clips featured in
it.
If I was to say which film looked better having just seen the trailers
for each, I would definitely say ‘Mission Impossible 2’.
I have been able to analyse and compare the two film trailers and
decide which one I think is more effective and advertises the film
best.

Crocodile Dundee (1986) directed by Peter Faiman and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) directed by Stephan Elliott are two Australian films that have unique plots. The expositions of both films have various similarities and differences in the context of quirky ‘Aussie’ characters, stereotypical Australian language, themes and the vast outback setting. The exposition of each film reaffirms typical Australian stereotypes.
War is seen as a universal concept that often causes discomfort and conflict in relation to civilians. As they are a worrying universal event that has occurred for many decades now, they posed questions to society about human's nature and civilization. Questions such as is humanity sane or insane? and do humans have an obsession with destruction vs creation. These questions are posed from the two anti-war texts; Dr Strangelove by Stanley Kubrick and Slaughterhouse Five written by Kurt Vonnegut.
Have you ever seen Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark? In that movie if you’re paying attention you can see a faithful reproduction of the biblical account of the Ark of the Covenant – the most sacred of all objects from the Bible. It is gilded with Gold, with fine woods and carvings – with the figures of two cherubs (keruvim – those who bring God close) on top – wings outstretched and barely touching at the point where God’s presence might one day descend and perhaps glow brightly like a metaphoric shining light of truth and knowledge.

Comparing Dangerous Liaisons by Choderlos de Laclos and Cruel Intentions the Movie It is my intention to compare the book, Dangerous Liaisons by Choderlos de Laclos, to its modern movie version, Cruel Intentions, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. I intend to examine how the original French text was modified in reference to plot, character, morals/values, and themes. I also plan to discuss how these transformations change the meaning of the story and reflect different cultural/historical contexts. There are some major differences between these two works, if only because of when they were written. First, the plots of both works need to be discussed and explained how they are different.

“The Mission” is based on a true story that occurred around the borderlands of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil in the years 1750’s according to the film and history. The Treaty of Madrid of 1750 with the Spanish and Portuguese caused both havoc and death for the people of the Guarini and the members of the Jesuits. The Jesuits, members of the church, tried to bring Christianity and civilization to the natives while keeping at peace with Spain and Portugal. The Jesuits were the teachers for the natives; Teaching them not only the Christian religion but also civilization. Father Gabriel, a Jesuit, is first introduced in the film when he is showing his respects to a former Jesuit priest killed by the natives. He walks through the South American
