Embed the trailer








The trailer for Spectre uses many narrative techniques used by Hollywood action movies as theorised by Vladimir Propp. There are character types such as the hero James Bond (Daniel Craig) as he saves people from danger, the villain as Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Christoph Waltz) as he has been following James Bond since the first movie and sends people to try and kill him and he is responsible for the kidnapping of the victim  Madeline (Léa Seydoux). In action movies we typically see heroes,villains,and victims, therefore the trailer will appeal to the target audience.


The trailer has a lot of Barthes action codes like the the car chase with the Aston Martin DB10 and the Jaguar CX-75 in Rome this makes the potential audience make them go to the edge of the sit experience when watching the car chase. This tells us in the trailer that is is mostly an action and drama movie thats what the audience feels like.

Spectre is the most expensive 007 movie to date, with a budget rumoured to be well north of $250 million. At 148 minutes, it is also the longest, which becomes evident in the bloated second half. But Mendes kicks off in the same impressive mode as Skyfall, deepening Bond's back story while self-consciously borrowing from the franchise's classic Sixties heritage. The first act is great, full of dark portent and bravura film-making flourishes. However, the final hour disappoints, with too many off-the-peg plot twists and too many characters conforming to type. While its commercial prospects seem bulletproof, Spectre ultimately feels like a lesser film than Skyfall, falling back on cliche and convention.
Filmed in downtown Mexico City during the riotous Day of the Dead festivities, the stupendous pre-credits sequence opens with an extended tracking shot that would make Orson Welles jealous. After a spectacular demolition and helicopter fight leaves a trail of carnage, James Bond (Daniel Craig) is grounded by his jittery bosses. But he defies their orders as he races to Rome, the Austrian Alps and the Moroccan desert in search of Franz Oberhauser (Christopher Waltz), the shadowy mastermind behind an all-powerful criminal cartel called Spectre, reviving an iconic piece of 007 folklore dating back to the Sean Connery era.
Meanwhile, back in London, M (Ralph Fiennes), Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) are fighting for survival against an ambitious government mandarin called C (Andrew Scott) with plans to shut down the 00 agent program and replace it with his own sinister high-tech surveillance network. If all this sounds a little familiar, it is pretty much the same plot as the latest Mission: Impossible movie Rogue Nation, right down to using Morocco and Austria as exotic locations. But at least Spectre boasts a little more visual finesse, courtesy of Interstellar cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema.
