In depth analysis of John Tucker must die

Montage of shots to fast paced music. Voiceover introducing the plot.
Introduces 'John Tucker' as a typical jock through costume and props.
Mid shot of ‘John Tucker’ with two girls – develops his character and shows him as a ‘player’.
Set in a school – shown through the location and the ages of the actors/actresses and the way they are dressed.

Shows company involved – adds credibility to the film and also serves as a way to promote the studio.

Reaction shot – shows how the character feels. Clothing has been used to suggest she is working in the restaurant.
Location is shown through props.
Facial expression shows determination. Image of John Tucker in the background on the computer screen shows how serious the girls are about ‘killing’ him.

Actress wearing low cut top- perhaps the audience are seeing her as John Tucker sees her: a sex object.
Facial expression on actor shows he is checking out the girl – develops his character as a womanizer.

Outfit suggests he is sporty which adds to the jock stereotype he is based on.
Positioned on team member’s shoulders further develops his position as a jock and leader of the sports teams.

Wide camera angle shows the setting, a stereotypical high school gym.
Titles in bold text attract attention.

Font and design choice is simple to make it stand out.
Facial expression shows he is a bit of a pervert. Repeated sexualisation of female characters in the trailer is used to add to this impression.
Semi naked, attractive male character appeals to teenage female target audience.
Close up of men in thongs. Adds comedy to the trailer and hellps to set the mood for the film.
Dramatic, exciting title helps to create excitement and draw in the viewers’ attention, helping ticket sales.
