Task 1: how does Emmet come across? How effective would this trailer be in promoting the film?
Emmet comes across as a very happy and easy going character. He is an ordinary guy but he is made to be the special (not by choice). All because this girl (wild style) believes in him. This normal guy became a hero and is a very good protagonist in this film because he is so ordinary he teaches you to reach for the hero inside of you like he did when he never believed he could. He is an immensely like able character, he will do things just to make others happy, for example when he buys a cup of coffee and it turns out the amount he pays is to much for a coffee but he is such a pushover he will just pay the money because he is not confident enough to challenge the man selling the coffee.
This trailer is very effective in promoting this film because we want to find out how Emmet becomes the role of the hero and how he takes on that task. This trailer portrays the entertainment in this film which is shown through comedy.

ReplyDeleteYou write thoughtfully on how Emmet is represented: you understand that he is an 'ordinary guy' who is physically unfit, timid and unadventurous, easily pushed around and keen to conform and be liked, rather than stand up for himself. You support your points with evidence - good. You note that he has the potential for change because Wyldstyle believes in him.
Your answer on the overall appeal of the trailer is too thin. It should show your knowledge of the trailer and your understanding of the action adventure genre. You could consider what it promises audiences, in particular, comedy, excitement and colour. You could add 'action adventure' themes like chase, quest, spectacle and also a big range of characters in the cast.
