To Kill A Mockingbird To Kill A Mockingbird, an elusive novel centered with justice and racism, contains three types of genre which are Southern Gothic, Courtroom Drama, and Bildungsroman. It is considered to be Southern Gothic fiction since it takes place in the South of America, also consisted with darkish elements and themes. To Kill A Mockingbird definitely includes the elements of courtroom drama due to the fact that there are so much action taking place in the court during a criminal trial. Atticus is defending for Tom Robinson, a black man who has been unfairly accused of rape because of his skin color, with justice and morality. This novel focuses around the trail of Tom Robinson and is engaged in racism and integrity. Last but not least, To Kill A Mockingbird is a bildungsroman, in which it traces Scout’s development from an ad child to the awareness of social issues through the racism towards Tom during the trail. Bildungsroman often refers to a character’s up growth from youth into adulthood. It is Scout who enters the world with an empty mind, but later on faces major challenges that enhanced her understanding of the outside world as well as taught her relevant ideas of the society she belongs. At the end of the novel, she has become more mature and prepared for the society despite the fact that she is still a child. Consequently, To Kill A Mockingbird is built up with Southern Gothic, Courtroom Drama, and Bildungsroman, while creating a mysterious plot but with meaningful themes throughout the novel. To Kill A Mockingbird was a southern gothic novel but with our trailer we cut out all the nitty gritty and frankly not very romantic bits of the film. For this trailer we focused on the attraction between Dill and Scout and the adventures they had during their summer breaks together. The trailer also focused on the bildungsroman aspect of the movie and book and how Scout developed through her summers with Dill. The Trailer also kept a bit of the court room drama aspect of the story because that was a very pivotal moment for all the characters especially with Dill, showing a more sensitive to injustice side of him that wasn’t shown before.
