'Spectre' (Sam Mendes, 2015)

Conventions 

The job of a trailer is to point out the film’s best moments and this trailer is successful in doing so. All throughout the trailer, there is a backing track playing, which is the world famous Bond theme tune. The backing track is an essential part of the trailer and can be difficult for the producers to pick one which corresponds with the atmosphere. The decision to use the theme tune all throughout the trailer and not just in certain scenes was clever as the audience is aware of what film the trailer is promoting. The viewer is immediately informed that there is a notorious organisation called 'Spectre' and are able to guess that it is Bond's job to go after them. Filled with explosions, car chases, collapsing buildings, low flying plane shots and helicopter stunts, the trailer features everything that makes a film exciting and as an audience, we know that that's what the James Bond trilogy is all about.

Target Audience

The Bond Trilogy's target demographic is usually from teenagers upwards and this film is no exception. This film would especially appeal to those who have watched the all the previous Bond films and who love the thrill and excitement that comes with it.
