1  How do the clips represent violence? 

neither of the clips show anyone dying whis can be percieved as the violance being harmless although the game format allows the audience to interactively be violant on the game which will allow them to proceed to the next level while the movie will have a more passive audience that will watch the film and probably not take away any feelings that you need to be violant to acheive anything. the clips seem to show violance as fun although serious at times because of the risk envolved but it is also shown at times in a playful manor as the game is actually a game for people to play for fun and the movie trailer seems to be laced with entertaining catch phrases and situations that people wouldnt come across in real life.
