Dukes Of Hazzard

The trailer immediately features a countdown along side a voice over, explaining the countdown is relevant to “the movie event of the summer.” The use of voice-over accompanying the countdown emphasises the significance of the film. The colour scheme used for the countdown is identical of the colour scheme for the “general Lee”, the icon of the Dukes of Hazzard Television series. Once the countdown ends, the screen cuts to the general lee, flying is slow motion, with the iconic “YEEEEE-HAAAAA” playing above it. These features where very common within the Television series, and therefore make it a symbol of the already cult following. Followers of the TV series will instantly recognise the film.


Rock music is played above action such as the car chase. Meanwhile, the camera fades in and out of black, to show the car chase out of continuity, and portray the action from different angles. Likewise with other previously analysed film trailer, the music cuts out when comedy occurs, to emphasise the comedy rather than any action that is occurring. Once the music begins again, it plays the iconic dukes of hazard theme tune. The trailer appears to be divided into two sections, halve of the trailer is focused on comedy, and seemingly the other halve is focused on the action of the film. This portrays the film to be both action and comedy.
