costumes
In the movie exorcist the main character is dressed up like a doll as in the media dolls connote horror, possessed and scary. The clothes do look very cheap and have no elegance as the dress is torn up and looks like a hospital overall. The hospital type overall shows that the lady is not well and something is wrong with her and she is mad, in contrast the Money ball characters are wearing polo shirts with trousers. This connotes that they are managers of sport teams. The polo's do look quite expensive as they can afford expensive clothes as they are baseball managers and are likely to be getting a good yearly salary. The gold/silver watches also show wealth and that they have good salaries as they can afford them. All the actors are wearing the same types of clothes as in meetings your cooperation do wear similar clothes and in this trailer they are mostly wearing polo's as this shows that they are part of a team. In star wars most of the character are wearing weird costumes that you don't usually see in your everyday life and this shows that is sci-fi as in Sci-Fi's its usually different (different clothes, different environment and different species) This is similar to money ball and exorcist as in them 2 its like real life the people are wearing clothes that you see in your everyday life: dress ,shirts etc. By looking at what the character's are wearing: we can tell that exorcist is a horror movie, we can tell that money ball is based on real life (drama) and that star wars is a sci-fi.
Actors
In exorcist by the actor expressions and looks we can tell its a horror movie as the mass amount of make-up used on the demon. In star wars you cant really see how the actors look as they are wearing masks and the character's faces are covered, but by the masks we can tell its a sci-fi as its almost look like Roberts and Roberts are used in sci-fi movies. In money ball we can't really tell what the genre it is. We know that the movie is a drama but we cant expand, but the panicking and arguing in the trailer shows that it may be sport based as in sports there is a mass amount of arguing by colleagues, and we can tell the guy in the black shirt is the main character as he is giving instructions, likewise in exorcist we can tell that the doll look alike is the main character as the focus is mainly on her.
props
The statue at the begging of Mary Tudor shows that this may be a freaky movie and the girl at the begging almost looks variable this shows that something may happen to the girl they is not much in the trailer but its just props that you see in a normal room and that shows that the girl was just normal before she was possessed. In contrast the Money ball trailer has many props that show its a movie about sport. Firstly they is a board in the room which has names on which are the names of the people that the team may sign for the team. They is a lot of pens and paper which shows where the team may write ideas. They is a use of certificates and awards which show that they are and team and that's the award that they have won. We know when we see the shot of him walking on the field which shows that its a baseball movie. In star wars from the first scene we know that its a sci-fi movie as we can see the stars from the star. Then we see a rocket which also show that's a sci-fi movie. This trailer gives it away at early stages with the props, likewise with exorcist we can tell its a horror with the statue of bloody Mary, in contrast with money ball we cant straight away tell that the movie is about sport as it gives it away in the 12th second when you see a baseball player.
Lighting
In many scenes in exorcists there is low-key lighting, this shows that the movie is scary and the light is usually on the demon which shows that she is the main character this also supports the genre which is horror in horror movies its usually dark its trying to scare you. The High key lighting in money ball is used to persuade the viewers that this is a real location and the movie is realistic and the movie is based on a true story. In the star wars trailer they is a use of under lighting as its used in sci- fi movies, In star wars the under lighting is used to create shadows and to create light on the faces. All the lighting used are different in all of the three trailers as they all similar genres, because in sport based movie there wont be high amount low-key lighting.
Make-up
There is not much use of make- up in Moneyball and Star Wars. Firstly money ball is based on men; in real life men don't use any make-up. In Star wars there is only make up used on the women characters as ladies do wear make-up and men don't, and the other character are all wearing weird costumes like: helmets and masks so there are not much used of make-up in star-wars, on the other hand they is a heavy amount of make-up used in exorcists as there is a possessed demon in the movie and they need to used make up to show this in the trailer. The make-up is used very effectively and depth as there is so much detail put in the face.
