Research on trailers

We watched and studied a number of trailers to better understand how they where constructed. We noted how the editing, sound, mise en scene and camera shots and movements where implemented when making a trailer.











Most trailers gradually build towards some sought of conclusion. usually the begging of a trailer is used to establish the story, location charecters and events that may take place during the film. This part of the film is usually slow paced and has some quite music in the background to move the trailer along smoothly. The trailer gradually builds and usually eventually culminates into a classic montage of action(either dialogue or phsical action on screen) this part is normally edited together so each frame is very short and is in time with the music which by this point has gotten much faster and louder. This section slightly disorientates the viewer as they are not quite sure what is happening which leads to the viewer wanting to know more, which they can do by watching the film.


This is an alternative idea for a trailer which I found very interesting. This trailer has no intention of trying to establish a plot or charecters it simply intends to intrigue the viewer so much that they are willing to split with money just to know just what the hell is going on.
