The difference between the two trailers for the film Pride and Prejudice mostly lie in the targeted audience for each film. In the First trailer, Elizabeth and her sisters are arguably of Indian descent that appears to be around their teenage years. While in the second trailer Elizabeth and her siblings appear to be English and look to be more in their twenties rather than teens. Additionally, the first trailer use modern celebrities that the younger generation would recognize. On the contrary, the younger generation would least likely recognize the actors in the second trailer. Moreover, the conflict of one trailer parallel with a problem that a teen, especially of Indian descent, would have. Spouses are usually chosen for girls of the Indian culture by their parents. The trailer states, “The story of one girl’s search for love between her first choice, her last choice and her mother’s choice.” However, the conflict of the second trailer is similar to that of an older woman. Older woman may consider marrying a man who they may not show affection towards but are content with their finances. “ In an era where marrying a rich man was the most a woman could hope for… the story of a modern woman who discover the one person she cannot stand is the one man she may not be able to resist.” The use of the words girl and woman clearly distinct the two trailers targeted audience age range.
The story line of the first trailer greatly differs from that of the second trailer. The first trailer seems to be more of a comedy genre while the second lean more towards a romantic genre. The first trailer shows a bevy of scenes that are suppose to make the audience laugh. For instance, belly dancing is supposed to be an exotic dance. The irony of the woman belly dancing wildly and throwing herself on the floor is used to make the audience laugh. The second trailer reveals more moments of serious and intimate moments. There are moments where Elizabeth and Darcy are chewing one another out. However, there is that one clip at the end of the trailer where Darcy and Elizabeth are about to kissing in the sunlight. Frankly, the second trailer puts more emphasis on Darcy which enforces the love genre while the first trailer focuses more on
Additional differences in the two trailers include the colors used. The first trailer consisted of a variety of bright colored dresses worn by the woman characters. This is relevant to the culture being portrayed in the film. In addition since the targeted audience is a young generation, the use of bright colors helps keep the young audiences attention. Contrarily, colors used in the second trailer serve more to parallel the setting of the film rather than the audience. The targeted audience, older woman, tend to show interest in romance stories regardless of colors used.
