Conventions shown in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 ( Lawrence, 2014)
Best bits:
'Prepare to pay an ultimate price' this stands out as it makes us think as an audience why do they have to pay a price, who's behind all of this pain and action, why cant it be stopped and what price is there to pay and for what? is it life being sacrificed but to what? which would intrigue the audience with such words. 'if we burn, you burn with us' it gives a sense of unity that the characters and setting is about that if they do something to her they will pay for their actions it shows her motives of setting free and being the hero by trying to protect the people from evil which would intrigue the audience to watch as they would want to find out why people are hurting and why they would try and do something to the people.
Genre of film:
The Genre feels like its more futuristic and action based on a fake world created by imagination which would be targeted at Youths so teens above 15 which are into films with action and suspense it contains lots of fires, battles, problems and weapons which would attract teens more than adults due to it having a fast paced story line with lots of action and close quarter battles.
Actors and actresses:
The Actors and actresses are not mentioned due to the previous 'Hunger Games' having it mentioned in as this is not the first hunger games so they decided not to put in the trailer as most people are familiar with hunger games and their actors such as 'Jennifer Lawrence' or 'Josh Hutcherson' they decided to include their faces instead of names due to them being already famous from the previous films and sequels to hunger games which would have made their movie careers more popular and them more known.
Fast visual images:
From fighting scenes with guns, and army against one person 'Catniss', her blowing up spaceships with her bow and arrow, grey landscape to fire and destruction occurring in the town to floods and unity being formed by all the civilians to buildings collapsing which shown an impact of action and thriller as there's violence and brutality going on.

One line conversations shown/Voice overs to tell a story:
'No-one else can do this but her' makes the audience want to know who is she? and its a great way to open the film as it makes us want to watch and find out why her? which intrigues the audience to carry on watching due to the ambiguity of character. It makes the audience want to know why her? what significance is it if its her? what can she do to save the world?. 'They're coming Catniss' this is powerful because it will make the audience intrigued in what is coming and why its coming which will catch their attention to other scenes shown in the trailer. This quote will make the audience think who's coming after them and why there's gun scenes and people in armour.
Credits on screen:
it starts off with the date of the film being released which is zoomed into 'November 21' it makes us remember it due to it being said so early for us to see and take in. Another one says 'Don't miss' which then leads to 'World wide' which gives a sense of the film being so successful that you have to see what happens next due to the popularity of film it makes people think that if they don't watch it then they will miss out on the next viral film that will be talked about.
Music type:
After the first credits of 'November 21' dramatic music starts playing which leads to other scenes and action which creates a sense of intense action and fight scenes which wont be easy to beat. The ending it contains a whistle noise which is associated to the 'Hunger Games' its their song which they have produced which matches the ending.
Title appearance and impact:
The title shows a great impact due to it being paired with the theme song created for film it matches the suspense left behind with loud music ending with the whistle sound track. The title is clear and bright it is moving with the fire dispersing which creates an effect of freedom. It has all the symbols associated with Hunger Games such as the mocking jay which is symbolic to the film.
This is the symbol of the hunger games which would have been seen and known by lots of people so even if the audience don't know this film they have definetly come across this logo which would have been advertised with the other 'Hunger games'
