1) The film trailer for the film Shaun Of The Dead is constructed to keep the mainly British audience engaged . It uses any different techniques to keep the audience engaged , it uses comedy to keep everyone watching engaged as everyone likes a a bit of comedy. Furthermore the trailer contains a celebrity news reader from the channel sky news to add some aspect of seriousness to the trailer even though it's a comedy .
2) The two main male characters are seen to be very laid back in a time of distress and panic . They're shown to not be very intelligent as they don't realise that there is a zombie invasion . For example when one the characters mid way through an escape stops so answer his phone . However there is a more sinister side to the men as they're trying to save Shauns mother.
3) The main audience for the film audience is most definitely a British mainly male demographic .I personally enjoy films like this and i think the film is targeted at my demographic , 13-26 Male , British . I can tell this from the very British things included in the film , the main actors are from the Uk , a Pub is used as one of the main shooting locations .
