TV spots

I am going to be looking at two TV spots and analysing the conventions of each, and seeing how they compare to each other. The films I have chosen are Hostiles and Dunkirk. I decided to choice these films as they are both from different genres. Hostiles is a western drama whereas Dunkirk is a historical action film. Although both films may have a slightly similar target audience, the conventions of the films may differ.

Hostiles:

• Begins with a quote from a review.
• Fast pace of editing throughout showing the best action scenes.
• More reviews.
• Taglines to explain the storyline.
• Storyline and characters are briefly shown but not developed.
• Voiceover at the end (not from the film) saying name of the film and release date.
• Specific release date.

Dunkirk:

• Name of director.
• Fast pace pf editing with action shots most dramatic scenes being shown.
• Taglines.
• A bit of dialogue.
• Name of film at end.
• Voiceover at end (not from the film).
• Format of film - iMax.
• Rating.
• Specific release date.
