The audience would find social interaction from the trailer by talking about there favourite parts or what there exited for, with others. They do this by commenting, sharing, disliking all examples of communicating online. People would find social interaction with this when relating to other peoples views on the internet.
The theory of UandG identified entertainment as appeal to the audience because people can escape form real life they can experience life form a different view. We see this in the NTTD trailer through the action, gun fights ect this is not very common in our world so people can experience escapism. This shows that the theory of entertainment in UandG applies to NTTD trailer because people will experience escapism because of the entertainment.
