Technical: Vivid and colourful to attract child audience. Lighting in animation used to create same atmosphere as in under water.

Symbolic: ''You think you can do these things but you just cant Nemo'' - Nemo's father being over protective about his son while he is in danger. Connotes the risks and dangers of having a disability while doing things Nemo wants to do. Nemo makes an upset face connoting sadness and dissapointment from his fathers words.
His father is shown in the trailer constantly in stress and worry for his sons safety, which results to the purpose of the narrative.

    www symbolic codes explored through verbal language and supported by visual and non-verbal language

    ebi needs far more development, you have attempted to draw connotations but you COULD go further and think about how the representation reveals the attitudes of society - think SHEP. Also look at the secion where Nemo is in the tank and his relationship with the other characters there - are there more disabled characters?
