Target Audience:
From the film trailer Suffergette i believe that one of the biggest target audiences would be women but not only that, also to reach out to some minorities in society that are still fighting for equality today.
The Conventions:
The soundtrack of the trailer set the tempo for the the clips of the film we are shown, the use of the flashing of dates and locations sets the scene for us and it enlightens us to the period of time when the film is based (when woman were seen as inferior to men). The soundtrack that plays is also effective because it is is suited to the genre of film, being a British period drama.
The trailer shows us some of the actors/actresses that feature in the film , these include Helena Bonham Carter, Carry Mulligan and Meryl Streep. Actors like these offer the star appeal as they have been in other famous films this is good for the film as it makes more people want to see it. The fast visual images hone in on the main characters in the film and highlight just some of the key things that will take place. In the trailer the key events build up and reach a climax which makes us intrgreed to watch the full movie, this creates an air of suspense you feel before watching the actual film.
The title of the film appears at the end which is effective as it builds up the storyline of the film and then shows the film title which will stay in your mind.
