Task 1: how does Emmet come across? How effective would this trailer be in promoting the film?
Emit comes across as an ordinary person who goes about his daily life. But because people believe he is the special one he becomes not just an ordinary guy but a hero which the world dependents on. But he isn't at traditional hero because he is not muscular or agile.
The trailers effective because it has funny moments e.g. when Batman and Wonder Woman's vehicles get blown up. which can attract an audience. It also sets out an interesting storyline that has an interesting quest. The big names in the movie also help advertise it because a lot of people like Will Ferrell and Chris Pratt.
The Lego movie is about Emit a regular guy who just wants to fit in with everyone else but can't. He then comes across the "resistance" the secret weapon to stopping the evil villain " Lord business" from gluing everyone in place it is Emmitt's job to save the universe from being glued in place and he succeeds!
There is the energetic entertaining energy from Emit which children are interested in and some comedy which adults understand and interest them. Because of the long history of Lego both adults and kids today have grown up playing with they are both interested either because of their current demographic or their former demographic.
Mark 9/10 (Note the spelling of Emmet)
ReplyDeleteYou write very well on how Emmet is represented: you understand that he is an 'regular 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.
You note that famous stars are cast in the movie. You identify the appeal of the trailer and 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.
