• How do words/images/sounds/ work together to communicate a message?

The images and sounds of the trailer are all deep sounding so it conveys a feeling of something ominous that 

• What is the purpose of the advertisement?

The purpose of this advertisement is to get people interested and wanting to play Doom, the way that this is done is by showing the Doom guy killing demons and fighting through portals. This would make the audience excited if they are used to playing violent video games

• How does it fulfil its purpose?

It shows off some gameplay features and some of the special "kill moves", that are a big feature of the game. This would make the audience want to buy and play Doom to see if it is anything based off of the trailers that have been shown and also they would want to buy it to see how fun the game is and if anything is really interesting.

• What opinions does it make you form?

The opinions that I get from watching the trailer is that I think it'll be really fun to play and that it looks really interesting in how the story will be played out. It also makes me form the opinion that it will be a fun playing experience and very enjoyable.

• Are those opinions the same as the ones you think are intended by the advertiser?

The opinions that I think the advertiser intended to get across were close to the ones I'm thinking because they would want the audience to have fun playing the game and the opinions from watching the trailer would be that they are excited to play Doom.
