Harry brown 3) How does the Harry Brown trailer position the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film? The trailer represents the youth in the film as dangerous,unsafe and menacing and as an threat to those around them . This makes the audience feel negatively towards them . This could be because they want to make the main protagonist appear as more of a hero to the audience. 4) Why might young people reject this reading and construct an oppositional reading of the trailer?
