Genre - Action/Thriller/Fantasy
Trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc4CiTvQ-YE
The Mortal Instruments is a movie based on a book series. It stars Lilly Collins, Campbell and Robert Sheehan including many more. In the trailer we can see that this movies genre varies from action, fantasy and thriller.
The action side of the trailer to The Mortal Instruments is at the start. At the start in side the nightclub we witness a young adult with a Gothic appearance, who's a shadow hunter killing a man who's secretly a demon. With action genre movies there is some sort of killing or violence shown. Furthermore, in another part of the trailer that indicates that this is a action movie is at 52seconds where there is a massive show case of weapons. The weapons indicate that their will be some form of violence during the movie. In addition, at the start again in the nightclub. The shadow hunter (Gothic looking young adult) shows off his blade. This suggests that his blade plays a significant part in the movie. This backs up the action side of the movie as well suggesting violence.
The fantasy side of The Mortal Instruments is at the start when one of the characters says "Everything you've heard about monster and nightmares, legends whispered around camp fires. All the stories are true". This suggests to us that there's a magical side to it, a fictional side to it. In addition, after the killing in the nightclub the protagonist can see the shadow hunter while in a coffee shop. Then he suddenly disappears. This backs up the fantasy side of the movie as most fantasy genre trailers have some sort of magic in it. That will show their audience what certain characters in the movie are able to do. It's like dropping hints to them about what magic is going to take place in the film.
Last of all the thriller side of The Mortal Instruments. Through out we have a sense that this movie has great tension. The battle of good and evil always has obstacles that the protagonist must over come in order to be successful towards the end. At one part in the trailer the characters are talking amongst themselves one says "she's going to get us all killed" this also builds the tension as the main character has got something to prove to all the others and clear all the doubt that the others have.
