By looking within this screen shot it is clear to see that we have used a variation of shots within our trailer. This is because of the type of atmosphere of what we wish to create for our target audience. The reason why we used this shot is because by the camera angles at this position it makes it look almost like it is something in which they are trying to reach, like a goal in which they desire to accomplish. The reason for using this shot is because of the symbolism in which is has and the way in which it can be related back to the plot of the film. This is because the aim of the plot was that females were going to be fighting in the war, so within this shot we have included some key parts of the symbolism which is that there are only females within the shot who are aiming to have achieved what they set our to do- win the war. This scene is quite particular within films, especially action and war films. This is because they usually have the plot of having to achieve something or to gain a certain aspect of the film for the target audience to be intregued. BY having such a common shot within our film we though that maybe this will help our trailer be less marginalised from other films with similar aspects. But the outcome in which we wanted was for our trailer to be different and unexpected which would excite the target audience and create an interest for a 'forgotten' genre. This shot also shows the costumes in which one of our characters wore which was simplistic but yet effective dark navy and black which was best for camouflage and consistency throughout the trailer.
This shot which we have included within our trailer, was something which is commonly seen within horror and psychological thriller films, so with this shot we decided to challenge the conventions of a war films by having some aspects of the film linking and converging between a number of genres. The reason for this is because we wanted to interest our target audience and grasp their attention at the edge of their seats. The camera work in which we used within this scene is slightly different than the ones in which we have previously within the trailer, this is because we wanted to show people that we knew what types of camera shots there were as well as what they could do in order to create the desired atmosphere for the war genre. The outcome of this is that there was not as much of an effect as what we anticipated, this is probably due to the fact that the people who we asked to watch the film were not lovers of a war film so they probably had bias opinions about the trailer which made it an unfair judgement.
This shot simple shows the map and the torch which we used as props to show where the enemy was attacking and where as well as to show organisation within the war genre and how certain things can be anticipated. This scene has been found on countless occasions within war films, but however they are usually on a larger scale with ships, tanks and planes where as we are more on a ground location so by marker out where the enemy are placed. This shot is commonly scene within a various number of films so it was no surprise to some of our target audience feedback saying that this shot looks like something they have seen in some other movies which have war related scenes.

I took this screen shot of my trailer because of the effect of all of the transitions and the camera work combined. This is because when singled out both pieces are nothing more than footage but by combining both of the footage together and with the use of some transitions from Final Cut Express we was able to make the two pieces of footage over lap and interlink with one another perfectly to give that kind of hallucination feel to the trailer which links in with the plot, is the war happening or it is a mental fatality causing a repercussion of an individual. The camera work which was included within these shots were mostly panning shots to help give the atmosphere of hallucinations and the concept of being lost and confused at a stressful time within society.

This shot shows the setting, location and the character in costume with the use of blood for emphasis on the props for resemblance for the target audience for symbolism about what has happened without actually showing what actions went down. This is also quite a common scene within the war genre of films, this is because it is almost shown in every film after the main character of the film is hurt or injured and they are trying to find their way back home. So it turns out to be a quite generic scene in every war film so it turns into a homogenised scene for war films. Within this screen shot you can also see that the use if the camouflage army kit has helped to blend into the background which would have helped many people during the war.
