This trailer conveys conventions from mainly action crime and thriller.

Action- the fast action packed music

Representation:

This Trailer shows that men are more dominant over women.

Women seen to be naive and simple with a typical London accent.

The only people fighting are males; there are no scenes where the females fight.

The higher people are in the gang line the better dressed they are.

Audience:

There is a very mainstream appeal as it’s a Hollywood film.

It appeals to the British society as the film is based there.

Special effects and good editing skills to make the fights look believable.

Media values:

It can be Upper class thriller seekers, but also could be for lower class as there are both classes in it.

Violence is very prevalent in this type of society.

Men as criminals and protectors.

It’s very similar to the Hollywood structure of two main characters fighting.
