FEATURE	COMMENTS
Genre	Sport/ Comedy/ Drama
Narrative	A daughter of a strict Indian family in London, is not permitted to play football, even though she is 18 years old. When Jess is playing for fun one day, her impressive skills are seen by a footballer, who then convinces Jess to play for her semi-pro team. Jess uses elaborate excuses to hide her matches from her family while also dealing with her romantic feelings for her coach, Joe.
Unique Selling Point	Gary Lineker, an ex English professional footballer makes an appearance in the film, this would generate an increase in audience. Kiera Knightley is one of the protagonists in the trailer, this is a unique selling point due to the fact the Kiera Knightley is a very famous actress.
Target audience	I feel as though this film is targeted at both gender from the ages to 10-30. Normally a football related film would target men, however due to the whole plot of the film being directed at women's football, I believe that women would be interested in watching this film.
Music	The music for the first half of the film trailer is very upbeat, this could connote the indian daughter enjoyment when playing football, however the music changes when the male footballer is introduced, it turns into a romantic and seductive theme of music which symbolises that romance may be in the air for the indian daughter and the footballer player.
Shot types/camera angles	There are a variety in camera angles and shot types when the indian daughter is playing football, to emphasise the talent that she has. Apart from that, the rest of the trailer doesn't really show many advanced camera angles, much of them are just simple, mid shots or over the shoulder shots, I feel as though this is because over the shoulder shots are used predominantly in conversations. There are a lot of conversations in the trailer, which I feel is used in order to give the audience a wider idea to what the narrative of the film is.
Pace
Dialogue	The dialogue in the trailer gives the audience a lot of information on what the plot of the film is about. This is because there is a lot of conversations between several different people in the trailer which presents several different problems/ issues in the film.

Credits and intertitles	The credits and inter titles have a slight indian vibe to it, as they are colourful and have a style/pattern of a flower, similar to paisley art work.
