Juice Trailer:
Costume:
the costume used in this film are clothing that where worn in the 90's around poorer areas such as south central L.A. they would wear more baggy clothing and commonly worn shoes such as timberland boots and these type of clothing was worn by all people around the ages of the main stars ,roughly 20 years or above, showing how heavily influenced they were by Hip Hop culture.

Lighting:
The lighting in the film is mostly natural lighting and most of the scenes where film outside and during the night the had used the street lamb or if that didn't work they would have used studio lamp with a filament bulb instead of an LED.

Actors:
The 4 main actors in this film are roughly 20 years of age or above, their speech is fairly informal due to there upbringing in these poor areas and to emphasis on the appearance of this 'thuggish' character they have haircuts which in the late 80's and  90's were very popular among young people of African American descent. The characters act mischievous and ultimately are seen to be antisocial as they are caught robbing records from a record store and armed robbery in stores for the money in tills. Then there is some of the less important actor like the man speaking to 'Q' about his name, he seem to be fairly formal and wears a suit plus he doesn't have a hair cut that implies that he is a hoodlum this connotes that he is a maybe a elder in the community that is trying to get push the younger to a mature adulthood or try to show them an alternative to be just a thug.

Props:
There are multiple props used in the film from records, ladders. boom boxes and tapes to guns, alcohol and money. these props are used to show what the film is about as Q and Bishop are the protagonist and antagonist these props all link to them the musical prop like the turn tables, records and headphones are all link'd to Q and the guns and money lead to Bishop.

Setting:
This trailer has been filmed in several areas of Harlem mostly out side but it has also been filmed from the inside of shop the back alleys. in the trailer most of the filming was done at Q's house while he is practicing his DJ skills and this show that the Disc Jockey side of the film is a primary part of the film and Q's house will be seen a lot through out the movie.

To conclude this film is a Crime drama Film as it has all the components of crime which is shown by antisocial behavior and is a Drama because of the intensity of the film.

Costumes:
In the trailer the actor wear traditional Pakistani clothing this is usually when the four people are together in a group however when the group is apart some of the actors wear western clothing

Lighting:
the lighting in the film is mostly natural and indoor incandescent . the lighting doesn't show high contrast shadows in the trailer instead they have used soft lighting and some scenes have low key lighting.

Actors:
There are 5 main character Omar, Waj, Barry, Faisal and Hassan, Faisal is only relevant to the film up until half way when he dies- Hassan then takes his place in the '4 Lions'. the 5 character are British born Muslim and this is evident due to the accent they project through out the film and how fluently they speak English however are deeply in-touch with their roots because they also speak Urdu in the film which is a language that originates from Pakistan.

Props:
the props used in the film vary from flags carpet boxes clothing bombs bags animals and guns and many more are used and are all used to turn a bad, feared stereotype into something amusing that people ultimately find stupid and fearless from.

Setting:
the main setting shown in the trailer is the recording room where the terrorist videos are made other film recording was done in either outer doors,cars or the in shops.

To conclude this film is considered a comedy film due to the stupidity and the behaviour in the film which amuses people because of the extreme stupidity.

Costume: The costume in this sequence is all casual clothing (everyday wear) other then the scene of the male protagonist in a foil sheet while being brought done from the 'Hollywood' sign.

Lighting: The trailer had mostly natural lighting some soft filler or reflectors may have been used in the scene to make the actors more attractive and to emphasis the focus on them.

Actors: In the trailer there are several characters however due to it being a rom-com there are two protagonists in the film this is evident due to the camera focus on them and the constant dialogue be projected by them only. the film introduces them together as a couple as they both have conversation on the phone which match however the are speaking to different spouses ( although speaking to different people their conversation makes sense and this foretells what could/ would happen in further in to the film.

Props: The main prop used in the trailer is the bed and this is because the film is based around casual sex and the bed would connote this. they also use things in the background such as T.V or things they are in contact with but are unnoticed such as chairs. tables or benches.

Settings: there are several setting in the film for one in the bedroom and again this conveys sex. they also have scene in public parks and cafés.

the reason this is clearly a romantic- comedy is due to the clumsiness and the sarcastic/ rude comment made to each other. also the reason that the two protagonists in the film are male and female. and small remark in the film for example on the bench when the tow men speak about women the man talks about how women can't separate feelings from sex.
