The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Official Main Trailer [HD]

In the opening minutes of the trailer we see allot of fire and action conventions showing the audience that the film would be action we also see dwafts and a dragon showing that it would be a fantasy film having mythical characters.

in this trailer we see a derelict castle with a kings head? falling off his neck. this could mean hard times for the main protagonists as this could mean their legacy could be over as they are in a ruined castle and perhaps metaphorically heads coming off and loosing. this sets the tone for the movie telling the audience that the dwarves and a hobbit must fight to survive against these 4 other armies.

the trailer also  shows us the armies in the film letting the audience know who would be fighting and what characters may return eg legolas which will prove exciting for lord of the rings fans and hobbit fans.

the sound used in this trailer makes the audience know what armies are good and bad and tells the audience the feeling despair of the trailer
