Action Adventure Trailer Conventions

The conventions of action trailers are very similar to the actual conventions of the film... obviously. There are always action scenes, whether they turn up in the form of a fist fight, explosions, or an all out gun fight. This leads to the audince wondering why are they fighting, whilst also being in awe of the fights that are taking place. This usually means that special effects are also a mainstay of the trailer as well as the film, which can be easily assumed.

The tranformers 3 trailer is an excellent example of displaying an unsually large amount of explosions and fight scenes for a two and a half minute trailer.

Another convention is that there must always be an easily identified hero in the trailer. This may take the role of a retired cop who has to recue his family, or any number of "The Chosen One" charcters from multiple film e.g. Ash Ketchum, Shia la Beuf's character or Harry Potter. And of course  for it to be an action film trailer there needs to be a villain in direct competition with said here, to follow the conventions of good verses evil, and the desiceve fight at the climax of the trailer/ film, e.g. Bane, Dr Elsa Shneider and Roy Batty. ( the latter two are from Indiana Jones and Blade runner respectively)
In The Expendables The group of mismatch old fogies team up to deal with a seemingly impossible mission, and all the odds stacked against them. This is also a convention in many other action films.

Dead Snow

This film poster is of the film Dead Snow, a horror film starring nazi zombies. As you can see the focus of the poster here is that of a decapitated nazi officer. This obviously shows that the film follows the splatter horror sterotypes, as well as following the zombie movie cliches. The chainsaw is a particularly good example of how a weapon can be cliche, as in many horror films, the chainsaw is the "ultimate zombie killing weapon". Other features of the poster include the other zombies that you can see in the background, suggesting that the film will be full of the horde, and things may go quickly out of hand. The poster is clearly trying to appeal to your typical zombie film officianado and horror fan, as well as trying to appeal to those people which also like horror comedies, as proven by the review at the top which states "there is a storm of scary fun to be had in this splatterfest" The poster also shows the location of the film, which coincides with the film title itself. It's clearly in a cold, snowy area, which is unusual for there to be a zombie film set there. n the background you can see a cabin. Another mainstaw of the film could be that this is where the survivers will spend most of their time in safety, before the obvious fnal fight at the end of the film. Therefore it follows many of the horror film conventions and cliche's, minus the setting.
