How is Ayrton Represented in the trailer? 

In this extract Ayrton Senna is portrayed in 2 different ways, Firstly near the beginning of the extract Ayrton is represented as a champion and someone who is better than the rest. The narrative over the trailer are all words of praise towards Senna and all the quick shots are of senna on the track either first or overtaking someone to become first. There are shots of senna were the camera is pointing up towards Ayrton and this portraying that senna was looked up to by the public and people aspired to be like him.  Most of the shots are at grand prix or at the beaches and citys connoting he was rich and he was enjoying life. Also there are shots of him with his family which shows he liked to spend time with his family which may relate to the people sitting at home and they can get a connection because behind all the cameras and all the fame he was just a normal person (Uses of Grats 1976).

But the other representation in the middle juxtaposes that of the beginning. He is described to be a Maverick as he doesn't like how F1 was being governed, there are extracts of Alain Prost saying that he has a problem and that he thinks he cannot kill himself. this is also shown in the shots and music chosen by the director, these being of Ayrton's crashes and shots of Ayrton in pain and almost making him look like a anti-hero and the music is slow paced and classical, this shows to the audience that Senna also had his bad side and makes the viewer think about what he done for people to say this about him and this creating enigma codes and making the viewer want to go and watch it in full.
