Emotional Analysis Of The Cinderella Trailer

Decent Essays
The video I have selected to discuss is the Cinderella Trailer. The trailer has several aspects to it, but the underlying purpose of the trailer is to attract attention to an upcoming movie. The majority of technique’s used within the trailer appeal to the viewer’s emotions, and the audience that include families and young females. The video exhibits signs of emotional appeals to an audience consisting of family viewers and young females, and its downfalls consist of selective viewership and cliché focus points. The trailer starts in a healthy looking field on a beautiful day with a young and happy Cinderella. She has both a loving mother and father, and the clip shows footage of joy in its most raw form. As the trailer continues you notice an obvious shift in the story plot as the song playing in the background hits a minor chord, which in music is referred to as either …show more content…
However, I see an obvious downfall in only appealing to half of the population of viewers. Although each of us know that Cinderella isn’t exactly a story any boy or man would jump up to go see, the producers do nothing to bring out any draw to the male viewers. The story itself is not just gender specific; like all movies the story is meant for all viewers male or not. Additionally the moments the producers chose to show throughout the clip did not show anything new in the story plot. Most of the audience would know, at best, the general story plot of Cinderella, therefore the showing of the major plots known to the audience does nothing to draw in new viewers. Instead of focusing on what people do know and remember about the story, I feel they should focus on points in the story that are forgotten, even by those that are familiar with the story. This way the story brings out a new light which allows the audience to focus on a new perspective of the story that the next generation of producers has to

    The Problem With Disney Disney films have had a significant impact in most of our lives. Whether it was “Pinnochio” or “Cinderella”, many of these Disney classics were shown to us during our childhood years. At such a young age, the majority of kids who watch these films will remember specific images that catch their attention; these images will be ingrained into their minds and help impact the way the kids view the world. For instance, while I was in elementary school, I would never lie because I thought that if I did, my nose would grow just like how Pinocchio 's nose did when he lied. Something as small as an animation movie can play an immense role in shaping one’s outlook.…

    Princess Bride Analysis

    Princess Bride is a critically-acclaimed film based on a novel that includes strong aspects of the hero’s journey. Rob Reiner, the director, creates a perfect mix of comedy, fantasy, and romance which successfully delivers the deconstructive interpretation that Inigo Montoya is the hero of the story rather than “the man in black”. Inigo Montoya’s call to adventure begins when his father is unrightfully murdered by the six-fingered villain and his drive for revenge establishes the events that lead to the rescue of the princess bride. A close reading of the text reveals without Inigo Montoya’s presence in the storyline the hero’s journey would not have been able to be completed, hence making him the protagonist. It all begins with a magnificent…

    Every horror story has the same basic outline, the antagonist pursues a certain goal or target while the protagonist turns into the damsel in distress. In the short story “Where Are You Going,Where Have You Been,” Joyce Carol Oates expertly executes the aspects of the horror genre by adding fairy-tale aspects like Cinderella and Red Riding Hood to characters and atmosphere; giving the tale an eerie feeling. Throughout the story, the actions that Connie takes against Arnold portrays the damsel as a tragic victim of a man who has such a sexual appetite for the poor soul that her fate becomes unavoidable. The story of Cinderella represents the life that Connie lives, Connie is strikingly beautiful with dirty blonde hair and is neglected and…

    Over time, it has been evident that Disney has promoted a different message within their princess movies, which is a shift in rhetoric. At first, the princess movies displayed unrealistic goals for young girls and now, there is a paradigm of different princesses that set an example for those who have goals and wish to achieve them. From a classical princess such as Aurora to a modern one such as Elsa, the messages are displayed in the princesses goals and obstacles. Prior to Frozen and other movies alike, Disney princesses all had one common goal: to fall in love. Aurora met her prince in the forest and instantly fell in love.…

    The Debut (2000) was a film presenting the positive aspects of the Filipino culture, using the real problems and relatable issues that teenagers face. This film is one of the first films I’ve viewed which portrays an Asian culture as what it truly is. Unlike many other films and scenes in Hollywood cinema, this film did not use negative stereotypes or derogatory topics as its main base. Director Gene Cajayon is from the Filipino agency and grew up in its heritage; this reflects on the films true use of Tagalog, traditions, relationships, and cultural values. What was particularly enjoyable was the scenes of dancing and singing that are accurate presentations of the Tinikling dance with string instruments.…

    The original Grimm Brothers “Cinderella” is much more unfit for children than the Disney adaptation. Disney took the story, modified it, and made it suitable for children, which is good in some aspects, but bad in others. It is good in a way that children can appreciate the story without getting scared or horrified, but it is bad in the way that people don’t know how the story was originally supposed to be told. The replication became more famous than the original, which I think should not be the case. I believe that the original story should be told more often than the adaptation.…

Similarly, Alan Stone looks more specifically at Tarantino’s use of absurd dialogue, and how it can change the emotion of violence.…
