Film Trailers by Filmtrailer.com


This film trailer uses a lot of different elements to entice the viewer into wanting to watch the film. First it uses very quick shots not many longer that 3 seconds. The reason for this as it never gives much away to the viewer but enough to give the viewer a rough idea as to what the film is about. This balance will be crucial when i come to design my film trailer as if you give to much away the film becomes pointless but if you don't give enough away the viewer might not become interested and immediately thinks that the film might be a bad one. They also use a non diegetic song out of the soundtrack which is up beat which goes well with the quick shots used. It also introduces the characters from the film in the trailer i think the reason for this is to make the viewer feel more involved/interested n the trailer because once they know the names they will want to know more about the characters. They also use a lot of hand held cameras in this trailer to give more sense of realism and make the viewer feel as if they are actually there watching the scenes from the trailer. This could also make them more interested in the film. The trailer also doesn't have a voice over but uses quotes from the film in the clips to tell/ show the viewer what the film is a bout i think this is a very smart way of making a film trailer and i may use this idea in planning my trailer.
