Camera; The camera during the trailer for 21 Jump Street is used often, for example when the actors are driving and shooting in the trailer the camera will be in slow motion to make the action seem more intense and serious, while also making the actors look cool and interesting.
An Establishing Shot is used when the school is shown, this establishes the location, general mood and characters in the trailer.
A Close up shot is used when the two main actors have taken drugs, the close up shot is used when they are talking to a teacher, the use of the shot focuses upon emotions feelings and reactions in the scene.
The Point of View shot is used when the two main actors are being spoken too by the police chief, this enables the audience to identify with and have the same feelings are the main actors.
A Medium Shot is used in the trailer during the police academy, this shows that the two actors are on equal grounds and neither is superior to the other.
Wide Shots are used when one of the main actors is trying to jump over a car, this is used to show the entire scene and that he does not successfully jump over the car.
A Two Shot is used in the scene where the two main actors are having a conversation with the police chief, this shows that the two main actors are working together.
Low Angle Camera Shows are used when the two main actors have finished Police Academy, this shows their power and importance in the film.
Another example of when camera affects are used is when, at the start of the trailer one of the main actors is beaten and bruised badly, during this scene the camera is at a high angle to show that the actor is at his lowest point in the film and should not be respected at this point.
Similar to Rush Hour when the trailer is showing a joke or aspects of comedy, either the main actor or both main actors are shown in shot, allowing the user to relate to the joke more easily.
Also similar to Rush Hour when there are explosions and gunfire on the screen the camera will be behind the main actor(s) giving a sense of impact and intensity.
Editing; Editing is also used during the films trailer, this editing is near identicle to Rush Hour, this is because when the action is being shown in the trailer, there are many fast and quick cut shots of explosions and gunfire, but when a comedy scene is happening the camera will focus upon the actor(s) making a joke.
Cuts are used greatly during the trailer, these showcase the main parts of the film and entice the viewing into wanting to watch the full film.
A Reverse shot is used at the start of the trailer when the two main actors are talking to each other in Police Academy, this enables the viewer to see and relate to them speaking.
A Graphic Match is used during the fight scene in the trailer, this enables the cut to seem seamless and unedited. An Action Match is also used during this scene to make the action seem uninterrupted.
Jump Cuts are also used during the trailer, this enables the trailer to keep action packed and the viewers entertained making them want to watch the movie.
A Reverse Zoom edit is also used in the trailer, it is used when the main actors are buying alcohol, this is done to emphasise the fact that they are preforming an act they were told not too.
Editing is also used in the films trailer to show captions and quotes from famous magazines and scenes in the film, captions are also used at the end of the film to show the films title and release date.
Mise-en-scene; Mise-en-scene is used during the trailer for set design, the movie is set in a school, and from the set design it is easily recognisable that the clips shown in the trailer are also from the school setting.
Mise-en-scene is also used during the trailer for costume, at the start of the trailer the actors are shown in police uniform to identify that they are police officers, but during the rest of the trailer they are in casual clothes, giving the impression that they are undercover in a school environment.
Conventions; The conventions used in the films trailer would include, explosions and gunfire, this is easily relatable to the action genre of film and is used in this trailer to show that the film is not just a comedy.
Another convention in the film is that at the start of the trailer they are both in police uniform, this shows that they are police officers without having to need script or text to explain it, this allows the user to identify the type of film more easily.
Going against conventions of most crime/comedy movies, there is no main villain who is being shown during the trailer, this creates suspicion for the user as it allows the movie to be a different style than other police movies.
Also going against conventions, both of the police officers working together are white americans, usually in a crime/comedy movie the two main actors will differ in race, where-as these actors differ in other ways, such as intelligence and athletic capability.
