Deadpool Trailer Analysis

Deadpool is a 2016 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, distributed by 20th Century Fox. The film was directed by Tim Miller from a screenplay by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and stars Ryan Reynolds.

An establishing shot is presented at the beginning, giving the audience an aerial view of the location. This trailer begins with low key lighting, this may be because we find out that Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) has been diagnosed with cancer. After he has been given the ability of having an extraordinary healing factor, the trailer automatically turns to a lighter tone; this suggests to the audience that the genre will be comedy and action because he will be turned into a superhero.

There is a non-diegetic soundtrack which plays over most of the trailer which is a very urban hip hop style score which is meant add a comedic effect to the trailer and shows the audience the film is not to be taken too seriously. The genre of this film is shown through music as the past pace of it indicates that it has action and violence. This is an accurate representation of film meaning that when people watch the trailer they will know that it is a superhero action film.

Long shots are used for showing a lot of the action sequences in the film such as the car rolling and the gunmen pointing at Deadpool. There are tracks and zooms in very fast shots of action sequences such as the track across the gun to the man holding it.


The editing is very slow to start with as there are many dissolves transitioning shots to one another until Deadpool becomes a hero in the trailer and once the hero is established the editing suddenly gets faster.
