Comedy Trailer - Bad Neighbours

                  
Bad Neighbours
Comedy Trailer Analysis







                   






















Starts off with the titles, they appear then disappear extremely
quickly in order to keep our attention, a voice over is used as we see a few medium
shots of what seems to be a child’s photoshoot, we quickly establish that these
parents are rather quirky. The props used during the photoshoot offer humour
seen as the genre is indeed comedy. The non-diegetic music is similar to a
whistling and connotes calm and happiness.



Music slowly changes as the new neighbours are introduced,
from the variety of medium and long shot of the house and surrounding area we
have found that it is a calm and quiet place in which they are raising their
baby daughter. As the neibopurs are moving in and audiences discover it is a fraternity
house filled with 50 boys, we immediate find humour in it as well as sympathy
for the parents, there are many point of view shots, putting us in the couple
shoes, the audience would start to wonder how they would act in that situation,
therefore causing them to take time to think about the trailer, which will most
likely lead them into watching the film. The point of view shot enable the audience
to feel as if we are actually there watching them move in creating realism for
the audience.



The music and tempo of editing increases as the antics between
the neighbours increase, by the end of a clip a song called “let’s go” is
playing which get the audience pumped form a neighbourhood war. The main character
of the fraternity house is Zac Efron who is an attractive young man therefore attracts
the attention of audiences mainly female which will encourage them to watch the
film. Also other main character Seth Rogen is a very popular comedy actor,
audiences would that the film is worth a watch just from knowing that he is
starring in it.



The trailer starts of slow and calm giving the audience a
look in at the couples life, this is setting the scene, as the 50 college boys
move in next door we see the couple trying to “act cool” around them. And trying
not to be bad neighbours, the trailer includes many snippets of funny moments
which entice comedy lovers into watching it as they believe is will be jam
packed with humour.



The clothing changed throughout the clip, the couple start off
with browns and cream clothing on which connotes midlife blandness, as the neighbours
turn up they are young therefore wear bright vibrant colours to show their
youth, although as the couple compete with the frat house, their clothing
becomes brighter as they are getting in touch with their younger self in order
to compete with their “Bad Neighbours”
