Analysing a film trailer - Thursday P5 work

Control (2007)

Control is a 2007 film created by Anton Corbijn and is about Ian Curtis out of Joy Division and it shows about his personnel, professional and romantic life and what contributing to him committing suicide at the age of 23.

After watching the Film trailer which goes on for 1:45 and standard set time for a film trailer i came to the conclusion that this film when compared with Blake Snyders Save the Cat theory that the category of film genre this film falls in is Institutionalized this is a film genre is when a group of people come together then the film is based around them as a group when the go on adventures. All they do individually also may come under the film. Example of this is Grown Ups and The Goonies.  I believe it is this genre because as you can see throughout the trailer they start of as a small band called Warsaw and as they start becoming more recognized and famous they change the band name to joy division and it fits in to this genre because the film shows the life of the main band member and the different event which happen in his life.
