Teaser Trailer
The sound is a key aspect in this teaser trailer. At the beginning of the clip there is non-diegetic music which gives the film an anticipating atmosphere. Over the non-diegetic music there are also diegetic sounds such as wind blowing, chains moving and guns uploading. The non-diegetic music then changes to the Indiana Jones theme music, which the audience would recognise from previous films and would interest them. It also uses diegetic sounds which are explosions to add to the teaser trailers tension.
The editing also plays a key role in this teaser trailer. The cutting rhythm is regular and the cutting speed is fast, which adds to the action and excitement of the audience.
The mise-en-scene used has Indiana Jones wearing his iconic safari costume and his whip. It also uses men in uniform and vehicles. The beginning few clips show props of sand and maps as well as locations and clips from previous films. This helps to set the scene for the audience and makes them feel comfortable as the previous film footage clips are something to recognise.
There are a variety of camera angles used, which are long shot, establishing shot, close ups, low angle shot, tracking, high angle shot and over the shoulder shot. The variety of shots helps to interest the audience.
The narrative is introduced at first by the screens of text which followed by clips which shows previous adventures. The narrative for this film is introduced by the screen of text that reads: “The Adventure Continues”. The first clip that you then see is the iconic hat of Indiana Jones as he picks it up, places it on his head and you see his silhouette. There are then diegetic clips of actual film footage which show part of Indiana Jones’ adventure. This would grab the audience’s attention and leave them wanting more because they would want to find out what happens and how all of the short clips fit together. The use of actual film footage allows the audience to see what some of the characters look like so that when they watch the film they feel familiar with them.
The teaser trailer then ends with the film title and the credits.

Magazine
The image on the front cover of the magazine has been positioned on the right hand side. The edges of the image all fade out to a black page. It shows seven images from the film of the main characters. By using the faces of the main characters in the film the audience can familiarise themselves with the characters and might recognise them from previous films. The image is in a gold colour to make it look important and glowing like treasure. The face of the alien in the centre of the image has a glow around it which brightens the lighting of the images surrounding it.The main heading of the magazine is called “Toxic” and the typography is in a toxic-looking goo. The purpose of this is to attract the attention of younger audiences. This is places on the right hand side also and above the image. There is a sub-heading which gives the name of the film. The ‘Indiana Jones’ name logo has been used and the title of the film has been written in yellow. The typography is coloured red, which is used above and below the edges of the magazine, and in graphical splashes. The use of the graphical splashes it to attract the attention of the younger audience and bring in more colour to the magazine cover.
Poster
There is a long shot image of the main character from the film in the poster. This has been used to attract the audience’s attention as the character of Indiana Jones would be recognisable to those who had seen the previous films. The poster also gives the image of a big head. This image is partly transparent so that the attention of the main character is not taken away. The image of the main character, Indian Jones, has the setting of stairs placed behind him, to help set the scene for the audience and it makes them feel curious as to where he is and what he is doing there.
The title of the film is shows with the logo ‘Indiana Jones’ which has been used throughout the series, therefore recognisable by the audience. The rest of the typography is coloured yellow and white. By placing the title at the bottom of the poster is allows image to speak for itself.
The main character has an outline around it, which shows that he is not actually at the location, but has been placed there. By placing the character into a setting this allows the audience to not only see the character but it gives them an idea where the character is. The use of layering up different images on the poster lets the audience get a glimpse of the main character, a second character of an alien, a setting and an ancient pattern.

Representation
The male main character is viewed stereotypically in these texts. This is because he is taking charge as the main character. He has a whip, which can used as a weapon showing a sense of violence, which is also stereotypically a male trait.
Collective Identity
The collective identity in these texts shows Americans as eager to hunt for some sort of treasure or to find gold.

Overall
There is a link between the teaser trailer, magazine front cover and poster. The link between them is the main character as he is present in all three and the iconic hat that Indiana Jones always wears. Another link between them is the use of the golden colour. This has been used in both the magazine and the poster to represent the gold and it also makes the magazine and poster appear old like the colour of an olden treasure map.
