There are many purposes of the St. Trinians film trailer one of the purposes is to promote the film to the target audience that is shown to be girls that are between the age of 13 to 17. This is shown by the pink background when the titles come up throughout, the majority of the cast being female and with their hair and makeup done at all times the way they wear their uniform, the pink colour of the paintballs and the way they wear their hockey uniform. Another purpose of the film trailer is to promote the comedy genre that the film is set in, its promoted this genre by what the girls say e.g. "You was only suppose to blow the bloody doors off." This suggests the element of comedy and also the way they pull pranks on the new girl which we see in the end they make into one of them. We also see/hear the new girl say "It's like Hogwarts for pikeys" this promotes comedy.

This links well to how the audience would feel at them given points and also is a clue on when its funny and not etc. The use of non-diegetic music allows you to feel certain ways by the influenced but majority of music. The non-deigetic music is still played even through dialogue but quieter to still produce an element of fun that links in with the dialogue spoken.
