Let's Be Cops Official Trailer #1 (2014) - Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr...





From this trailer we can see that the genre of this film is a comedy. One genre indicator in this trailer is that the two main characters are very child like. This is a very strong stereo type of characters in comedy films. This trailer shows that it conforms to that stereotype. We see one of the characters punching his friend, who is dressed as a ghost, in the face, also the two main characters are shown to find someone getting hurt amusing. These two cases show that the characters are shown to be very juvenile. There are many comedy films where the main characters are shown to be Juvenile, some examples would be The Inbetweeners 2 and 22 Jump Street.

The non diegetic sound in this trailer is very similar from beginning to end. The sound is like music you will hear in a club or at a party, this really reflects the film. The film is all about fun and the non diegtic sound links well with that. Also there is some sound effects shown in this trailer to emphasize pain. This is when someone falls of their skateboard and when one of the main characters fails a back flip. This is a common theme in comedy films, others pain is is one of the main points of laughter in comedy films.

The trailer shows the film is associated with 20th century fox, also it shows that the film was released in August. The title font was shown in bold and blue. The color blue surrounded by a  flashing light connotes police sirens, which links with the film. The location of this film is shown to be in the city. This conforms to the stereotype of comedy films being set in a crowded and populated area. There are some birds eye shots of the city. In this film there is not many big name actors shown, this could be seen as a bad thing for the film, as big name actors or actresses are normally seen as unique selling points.
