Amercian Gangster Case Study - First individual research task

The film trailer i have chosen to carry out my case study on is "American gangaster", which is a gangster - action genre.

The audience for this product is 16 - 30 year olds.
The institutional factors this movie provides is the effects of the drug business and what such crimes can lead to in ones life and since this is based on a true story it allows it audience to have a greater understanding of what happens in the drug business and how it affects peoples lives.
This trailer shows a sequence of the best quotes said in the movie too attract the audience and it also shows parts of the movie but nothing that woould give the movie away too much. The most noticable thing about the trailer is the fact that its a black man whos supposedly become bigger than the mafia in the drug trade business which makes the plot of the film interesting for its viewers. Also the quotes in the traiiler have such emphasis in them and such meaning that it draws in that wider range of audience.

The use of the music is dramatic in this trailer because it starts off with a nice soulfull beat and this is when the trailer is being based on the "bad" people (dezel washington and his drug abuse) and then half way through after the sound of a gun fireing, the music then turns into a slow and more serious type of beat which is played when the cops and dectives are talking about what denzel washingtons character realy does and how he comes across succeeding in to doing so.
