Camera; Close-Up Shots are used in the trailer when the two main actors are both in the car, the close up shot is used when a joke is made, the shot focuses upon emotions feelings and reactions for the audience.
A Medium Shot is used in the trailer, when the main actors shoot at the garage, this type of shot is used because it allows the audience to see the reactions of the crowd, the main actor and the comedy of the horse dying. This allows for the one scene to show all of the action in a single shot.
A long shot is used when the two main actors are exiting the car and are walking down an alleyway, this type of shot is used to emphasise the surroundings and scenery of the area, allowing the audience to instantly recognise where the movie is currently taking place.
Two-Shots were used in the trailer when both actors are having a conversation in the police department, this allows for the audience to instantly recognise that they are having a conversation and that they do not like each other from the start of the trailer/film.
An establishing shot is used at the start of the film, this sets the mood and establishes the location for the audience, the establishing shot is used to show the police station.
An Over-The-Shoulder shot is used when the two main actors are having a conversation in the police department, it shows that one of the main actors is looking down on the other, giving the viewer the characters point of view of the scene.
A Long Shot is used when one of the main actors is jumping off the roof of a building, this allows for the viewers to identify the distance of the jump that the main actor is doing.
Editing;The editing is also used similar to the other films of this genre, as when there are action scenes the camera is quick cut and shows all of the explosions and gunfire, but when the comedy sections of the movie are being shown the cuts are of a lower amount.
Cuts are used extensively throughout the trailer to show action and comedy, this is used to keep the viewers interested in the trailer and make them want to watch the movie.
Shots are also used at the start of the trailer when the two main actors and the police chief are having a conversation, this allows for the viewer to see that the three actors are having a conversation with each other.
Action Match is used during the start of the trailer, the Action Match is used when the the main actor is driving around, this is done to make the action seem uninterrupted.
Jump Cuts are used throughout the entirety of the trailer as it allows for the trailer to continue with the action of comedy sections of the movie without being interrupted.
Cross-Cutting is also used during the start of the trailer, when the main actor is driving around, this is used to show different views of the car and allow for the audience to recognise the main actors as being cool.
Unlike the other movies when Cross-Cutting is used, Parallel Editing is not used, this is going against conventions of action/crime movies.
A Tracking Shot is used in the trailer when the main actor has a suspect and is questioning them, the dolly-cam is circling the two actors giving the emphasise on the intensity of the scene in the trailer.
Mise-En-Scene;Mise-en-scene is used during the film to set design, at the start of the trailer it is easily recognisable that the film is about two police officers from the city as it uses a police station as the establishing shot in the trailer.
Mise-en-scene is used in the costume selection, the costumes used in the film represent that the main actors are undercover police officers from different backgrounds, one of the main actors dresses more formally than the other, showing that he is more serious about is job and it is portrayed in their character. The other main actor dresses more casually and generally does not obey the rules of being a police officer, this also is portrayed in their character giving an accurate description of the two main actors just from their costume.
Mise-en-scene is also used in the lighting of the movie, during the outdoor scenes of the movie, ambient lighting is used, this allows the viewer to recognise that the movie is set outside in a town rather than in a building. Low Key Lighting is also used during the movie, for example in the scenes in the stripclub, the lighting is used to show that it is a mysterious place and where a police officer should not be.
Mise-en-scene is used during the acting in the trailer, the main actor playing Starsky is formal and more interested in the job than the actor who plays Hutch, who is not interested in the job and just wants to mess around, this is portrayed greatly in acting and choice of costume.
Conventions; One of the conventions used in this movie include, gunfire and car chases, this is a convention in the crime/comedy movie genre and is used in nearly all movies of this genre. Although the movie does not include explosions in the trailer which goes against conventions of most crime/comedy films.
Going against conventions the movie contains two main actors of which are both white, this is different as usually one of the main actors is foreign to allow diversity, but instead the actors treat the job that they are doing differently to each other.With the movie following most conventions but not following them all it makes the user want to see the movie more as it seems different than other crime/comedy films.
