Friday AS analysis

Cinematography:
The target of this trailer was to show the audience it type of genre 'stoner comedy'. so the producers have decided to use short 1-4 second clips to show the funny areas of the film to amuse people and to create a idea of what the whole films about also one of the shots used for example the first shot of actor 'O'shea Jackson' opening the door is a zoom in shot to give a slight feeling of a comic or the start of a cartoon. However, most of the shot used in the trailer is still medium close up angle. To show this film is directed to men more than women the writer Ice Cube has used women as a sex icon in the film this is shown by how he show women running and watering the garden in slow motion whilst being recorded in a panning angle to show how men follow beautiful women with there eyes.

Editing:
the director F. Gary Gray has chosen to edit the clips down to roughly one or four seconds so that he can pack enough to engage the viewer. The pace of the trailer appears to speed up towards the end to show the audience the intensity that is created through the story and again wanting the viewer to be excited about it and wonder what happen which is the enigma of the film.

Sound:
The sound track used in this is slow hip hop which was popular at the time in the 90's so writer Ice Cube and DJ pooh knew that most of the american population of African Americans and Mexican was a part of this culture so the had directed that at them and also to stoners as they enjoy relaxing slow music during there 'Trip'. Dialogue in the film was colloquial so that regular people could related to it  and also has explicit language  to emphasis on the idea of relating to people in the poorer areas of america like South Central, Compton, Brooklyn.

Mise en Scene;
they have used a stereo type of lower class black males for the costume as they show the men sagging there pants and wearing baggy T-shirts with the caps backwards again just to relate with the lower class and possibly the middle class american. light may have been natural with the manipulation of the camera settings but when shooting on the dark umbrella lamps or street lamp may have been utilised to created a clearer shot and give it a realistic appearence. props used in the film range from what appears to be marijuana to guns.
