1. After watching the first clip, what movie genre do we think this film will fall under?
2. Jordan Peele wrote and directed this film; we might say he is the Rhetor. Are we familiar with his other works? “Get Out”, “Us”, “The Candyman”, or sketch comedy from “Key & Peele”? How might knowledge of a director/writer/musician’s past work inform our understanding of her/his/their newest?
3. Who do we think this trailer is attempting to reach? Another way of thinking about this is to consider which audience(s) it might be trying to influence
4. How is the trailer succeeding (or failing) in influencing its audience?

1. For a little context, this is Nope’s final trailer before its final release this past weekend.
2. Pay special attention to differences in music, pacing, tone, and expected genre. Do these differ from the first movie clip?
3. How did the trailer change closer to the release date of the movie? In Rhetorical Analysis, it’s important to think about why a text, video, or image was made, in addition to recognizing what choices were used to make “it”.
