You are tasked with analyzing the official trailer for Crimson Peak.
How does it work in terms of rhetoric and genre? How does it target a particular audience with a particular message? Is it effective? Why?
Briefly (approx. 350 to 400 words) make an argument about and analyze the trailer's rhetorical situation. You won't be able to talk about everything. You'll need to make a specific argument by taking a particular angle. Ask yourself: What kind of movie does the trailer advertise? What sort of audience member is it envisioning? How do you know? A good trailer will sell itself many ways to many different audiences - your job is to pick one angle and analyze!
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
