I looked at three different trailers on the Teaching Trailers resource supplied by the FDA online in order to further my understanding of why trailers are made and the way in which they signal a genre.
The Mustang came across as a drama for it centred around a notorious prisoner who has the opportunity to restart his life when he he is selected for rehabilitation therapy that requires him to train a wild mustang. Its clear the film revolves around mature themes such as redemption and hope in adversity.
Hobbs and Shaw is clearly an action film packed with 'fast and furious' excitement. Presenting a dynamic (and comedy) duo US agent Luke Hobbs and British mercenary Deckard Shaw, the trailer fullfils the genre convention of action as we learn they are forced to put their rivalry side and work together to stop a genetically enhanced supervillain.
I believe Artemis Fowl is a children's fantasy film. This is because the protagonist appears a confident, passionate young boy who begins his journey on a dangerous adventure to discover dark truths. The quest theme is established through narrative tropes such as fantasy and magic, explored through beautiful sets such as the magical set-piece scene in which an frail, old woman changes into a beautiful sprite. The trailer presents different special effects to spotlight the young boys magical power. This is appealing to children: both young girls and boys.
