Captain America film trailer analysis

I have analysed the trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger and this has given me a greater insight to the action film industry. By watching the effects which have been used on this trailer I have realised that we will not be able to pull off any of them, but we can do the basic things such as fighting and chase scenes. One aspect of this trailer is that the main character Chris Evans is given the typical role of the underdog, who rises against those who are bigger and seen as better than him. There is also a particularly long scene in this trailer which shows the transformation of his whole physical appearance and abilities. This is important to put in the trailer because it shows how he changes and becomes Captain America.

Straight away in this film, you can see that it is set in the past - I took a screen shot of the start of the film and this shows a lot for the whole film. The main things which stand out on this image above are the costumes and the whole scene - nowadays if the army were recruiting they would not use a post in the middle of a celebration festival like there is here. Another feature of this screen shot is that there are a umber of United State's flags in the back ground of this screen shot. This tells us that there is a celebration occurring in relation with the US army. Also, the costumes which these characters are wearing is not like what would be worn in this day and age - the people in this trailer are wearing top hats and suits, but also the man in the foreground on the left is wearing an American soldiers army uniform, so this tells us that there are a lot of soldiers who are there at this celebration. You can also tell that this is set in the past because of the style of the text; instantly looking at the text which says "United States Armed Services Recruitment".

This screen shot shows a lot about the era which it is set in - this is because  the US army uniforms are completely diffrent to what they are today and they resemble those which were used during the second world war. This adds a 1950's comic book feel, because the film does originally come from a comic book.
