Case Study : Suffragette (Sarah Gavron, 2015)

Suffragette trailer:

Conventions

- From the beginning of the trailer we are shown the four main distributors of the film. 20th Century Fox, Film 4, BFI Films and Pathe productions.

- The film is a Drama based on early 20th-century Britain and the growing suffragette movement.

 - The very first scene is with a lady vandalising a window with a brick with loud music to make it intense and to induce the viewer.

- Then is followed by a blank white screen showing to us clearly ' Inspired by' with intention to try and sell the film to the audience. It also shows the film is directed by a experienced director which encourages the audience to watch the film.

- There is a limited amount of seconds from lots of scenes that are shown so that the audience is not shown too much and not too little.

Target Audience

I think the target audience of this film is for anybody who is interested in the history of Women in Britain.
