Pan Trailer Analysis

What type of Action and Adventure Film is it?

From watching the trailer of pan which is based on the classic peter pan it isn't your typical action and adventure films which normally consists of big battles with heavy artillery, helicopters and police. This type of Action and adventure could be described as a hybrid genre as it contains many elements of different type of genres such as fantasy family and of course action and adventure. This is weird has not many action and adventure films would be known as a family film, as action and adventure films normally contain violent scenes and graphic images, which is something that little kids aren't aloud to watch, another example of a family, fantasy action and adventure films would be films like Harry Potter and Indiana Jones.

What Conventions does it have?

Spectacle- There are a lot of moments in the trailer when you just look at the screen and think wow. An example of this is 1:18 minutes into the trailer and there seems to be a party going on with people celebrating and there are many bright colours such as pink, orange and red  there making it look spectacular, another way in which we see the convention spectacle take place are the flying pirate ships, in real life these ships don't exist so people watching the trailer are going to be impressed and are going to think that it looks amazing as we aren't use to seeing massive flying pirate ships.

Combat and Conflict- A moment in the trailer at 1:59 we see the flying ship flying through the sky and a big explosion occurs next to the ship, this is because it is getting hit by something, possibly a bomb, therefore this shows combat and conflict as explosions are going off and bombs are being used suggesting that a big battle takes place in the film between the good guys and the bad guy who is dressed in armour and has a lot of makeup on him to make him look like a villainous antagonist.

What characters does it feature that are typical action hero characters (or not)?

The little kid who represents the hero. You can tell as he is the main focus in the trailer and in most trailers the person you see the most is normally the hero. The way we tell e is a hero as he is brave and strong, when he spills his plate onto the floor ear the beginning of the trailer when he wasn't suppose to this shows that he is brave and will stand up for his rights. There is a villain in the trailer as well, he is dressed in armour and has makeup to make him look threatening and scary, he has really pale skin and black hair. This shows that he is a villain.
