Editing: The beginning of the trailer is very slow to help the audience understand the movie narrative however when it progresses to the ending becomes faster and shows gunshots, expolives nad violence etc. This convention is used in many action movies to create suspense that builds up and concludes making the audience intrigued to watch the movie..

Institutional details: At the end of the trailer it mentions the three main characters, on of which is Laim Neeson which engages the audience to watch the film as he is known as a A class actor. Liam Neemon would attract many of his fans and his name will arouse  the 'word of mouth' as his films have always become sucessful so they would suggest the fiolm is worth watching



Central image: The central image shows Liam Neeron who is known as a very successful actor, this engages the audience and makes them want to watch the film. The whole image is in black and white, as so is almost the whole poster. The lighting on the main characters face reveals half the characters face which could suggest two sides of his personality- a caring father who is risking his life to save his daughter and someone who is willing to kill. The lightning intrigues the audience and create suspicion and maker them want to watch the film to find out  Liam Neeron is holding a gun which is quite clear, this clearly displays the genre of the film which is action. The image of him looking serious could suggest that there will be tension in the film.

Colour scheme: The main  colour used is black which represents aned gives the viewer a good idea of the mood of the film, it is dark and bleack which indicates mystrey and power. As the whole poster is in black apart from the title is could suggest alot of death and evil. The orange title also suggests mystery but connotes determination which could suggest the courage it takes for the character to be killing.

Title: The san serif font used for the title and text/ long tagline collaborates well with the genre of action... The text above the title is a quote from the film . This may be significant as it is in a alluring orange colour and also it covers the central image... Furthermore, this gives the audience a brief narrative of what the film (which is based around action) will be about and that is also connoted by the orange colour the text is in..
