Action - Suicide Squad Portrayal of violence: Deadshot's punching bag, death threats towards the prison guards and then portrayal of police brutality, Harley Quinn being electrocuted on the bars Males shown as strong and powerful: Deadshot not wearing a top, which means you can see the entirety of his muscles, the shine and sweat shows he has been working out hard, not afraid to mess with people of a higher power (i.e. the prison guards) Female shown in a sexual manner: Harley Quinn is wearing a rather minial amount of clothing, Harley referred to as 'Hotness', Harley licking the prison bars in a seductive manner, "I sleep where I want, when I want, with who I want", "That is just a whole lot of pretty and a whole lot of crazy" Comedy - The Secret Life Of Pets (Due to presumed copyright issues, there is no opening clip to this film I can legally link to (I think a PutLocker link would be rather unacceptable).

Differences between film openings and trailers

There are several differences between a film trailer and a film opening. They both serve a different purpose also. First off, a film trailer serves the purpose of advertising a film, showing the films key scenes, but without giving away too much.

Something I personally would've liked to have done was a breaking of the fourth wall, where a character talks to the camera as if they were actually talking to the audience. This can be seen at the beginning of Lord Of War, but rather more famously, it is used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) Something else I would have liked to have done was to film something in one take. On the face of it, that seems li...
