Film trailer analysis sport 2 Million dollar arm

                                                              Million Dollar Arm

Setting: the trailers setting starts in America and ends up in America however India is in the middle of the trailer to show the audience what the film will be about and come from.The fact that the trailer shows India within it suggests to the audience that the main antagonist is either in this poor country for spiritual enlightenment or a specific business purpose, most likely a sporting one as the title suggests about an arm in a high stakes scenario.later in the trailer you see various MLB baseball stadiums suggesting that is what the main antagonist is travelling for,(to find a successful baseball player).

costume: there is an array of costumes from saris and Indian culture clothes to smart suits and baseball outfits outlining the difference of living between India and a more economically developed country like America to the audience.Even though the film incorporates many smart suits the men wearing the suits in the beginning and end are seen to wear more comfortable clothes like a hula shirt and informal suit wearing outfits in a hot country like India or at home in a relaxed environment.

Props: the props used are pro dominantly sports based i.e. baseball bats/gloves, phones and baseball measurements to show the audience instantly what the film is about and to expect from the persona's of the characters which is a non stop sporty vibe.

Narrative: From the trailer we find out a few things about the story line and a few things we are left to wonder and think about (enigmas). We find out that JB the sports agent and his compatriots are searching for Indian baseball pitchers to achieve a high status in the American MLB as a final chance type mission.However the audience is left to ponder about certain aspects of the film within the trailer such as if the Indian baseball players ever do make it in the MLB, even though the trailer does show JB saying "Ive got you a major league try out" and is very suggestive to the audience but does not mean the boys will make it thus leaving the audience in suspense

Sandra bullocks character is in grave danger as she shows raw emotion throughout the trailer in difficult situations led on by a spacecraft disaster.However the audience is left to ponder about certain aspects of the trailer such as if she ever makes it back down to to earth which is the main idea of the film thus leaving audiences wanting to watch the film.

Sound: the non digetic sound plays throughout with the song hall of fame which could be a hidden message to the audience and digetic sound came from the splintering sound of the baseball hitting a bat or glove.

Representation: the trailer shows how a sports agent tried to recover his career by using a shot in the dark chance on Indian cricket players to play baseball in the MLB America suggesting to the audience Jr the sports agent is desperate and must travel far from his comfort zone to achieve what he wants
