Sixteen (Brown, 2013) -The Conventions


'Sixteen' (Brown, 2013)



The Conventions:

  • The trailer of any film must show the 'best bits' of the film. The trailer shows the main incident of the film, where the old man is stabbed. It also shows significant action scenes and the most dramatic parts as these are the essential scenes to draw in an audience.


  • Another aim of the trailer is to establish the genre, and we see much suspense throughout the trailer which classifies the film as an urban thriller. The evidence of this is that hints and secrets are revealed throughout the trailer suggesting that it is leading up to a big ending. 
  • The trailer should justify the main character which is completed by close ups of the main character's face, or shows lone scenes of him. 
  • One liners are used to highlight significant points in the film which also show the dramatic parts of the film, 'They could have killed you, what about next time?'
