The above trailer shows the film trailer for the musical, High school musical 3 within this trailer you can see many uses of the iconography above as it shows the characters dancing, having fun and enjoying themselves and you also see some struggling there and they use singing as a way to get out of that struggle. You can also hear one of the songs over the top which again reinforces the fact that this is a musical and that is what it's about. We also get a bit of a look at the narrative as well so that we know that it's not just going to be a sing-song and that there will actually be some meaning for it and it will be there for a reason as it will fit in with the narrative.
