‘Age of Heroes’ (2011) is an action-packed British thriller based on the real-life events of Ian Fleming's 30 Commando during World War II, which takes our heroes from the edge of defeat on the beaches of Dunkirk to the mountains of Norway on a search-and-destroy mission behind enemy lines that, if successful, would change the course of the war. The movie stars Sean Bean who is the leader of the Special Forces team and also stars Danny Dyer and Isabella Miko.
‘Age of Heroes’ teaser trailer was released in 2010. This teaser trailer is very intense and fast moving to emphasize the action. It contains a lot of gun fire and explosions which visually makes it very epic. The teaser trailer uses various camera techniques such as close up shots of the soldiers fighting, but also many long and establishing shots to show the audience the rough and treacherous terrain they must travel across. The different camera techniques used help emphasize to the audience the seriousness of the film. The sound in this teaser trailer is used to represent war. Diegetic sounds such as explosions and gun shots are used to accentuate to the audience that this is a violent film. The non- diegetic sounds like music is very fast paced and uses many string instruments which is commonly used for historical epics like this one. In the beginning of the trailer there is no music, but it slowly builds up to create tension for the audience.
The target audience for this trailer would primarily be men between the ages of 20-30. The theme of this film is historical war so it will probably be unsuitable for young children. This film is focused towards men as it is violent and also contains only men which show that it is targeted towards men. ‘Age of Heroes’ (2011) is a historical film set in World War II so it may appeal more towards the older generation who may have more interest in history than the younger generation.
