Slaughterhouse Rulez Trailer

SlaughterHouse Rulez:

In the trailer for Slaughterhouse Rulez, we start the video with a wide perspective of the school that it is set in. It is a high point of perspective which is looking down upon the school as if it is coming to pay attention to what is going on in the school. It has the middle of the school in the centre of the scene to make the school look bigger as if it has power or is a status of power.
 The music in the background is appealing to the teenage stereotype fantasy of a cool like rock band playing simple music. And the title of the movie also refers to goofy and cool as its is splatted onto the white canvas.

The trailer has scenes which match the beat of the music which is in the background so that it makes the music more appealing to the audience.

The title of the film also refers to the teenage stereotype of a quite lazy, rebellious mentality. the z instead of these could make the name sound more intimidating or cool. The name of the school is also very out of the ordinary since it is a school and is meant to appeal to education and learning and not to be referred as a slaughterhouse.

The trailer contains other things which associate with the teenage mind like monsters, aliens, explosions, mysterious holes and build ups which will draw this group of people into the film. The trailer itself will give the impression that the film is a comedy with the funny references where the music will cut out and an actor will say something funny.

A short trailer is displayed at the start of the actual trailer which lasts about 5 seconds, this ad could be put on youtube videos or even electronic billboards since it will cost the people less to publish the trailer as it is at a smaller amount of time.

In the trailer, the camera focuses on things like the young woman which is very attractive and turns down the music as if the viewing audience are focusing on her and are stopping what they do to watch the girl. This gives the viewers an idea that this character could have a role of being the main characters crush or goal.

The mise-en-scene in most of the scenes are mostly containing key characters and props like school decor and large landscape views of the school ground
