Trailer Analysis

In the beginning of a trailer you often see the production company which might be walt disney,universal and many more. In this case when you walt disney you often asume that is a : - High Budget film

                              - Family and friendly movie.

  Audience Expectations for walt disney

You know that it is going to be a good movie and disney related, you would not expect to see this with an action movie. You know that is going to be either an animation movie or cartoon. When you disney you know that it is going to be a high end and well distrubuted movie.

The trailer I am analyzing is 'The strangers'

The name of the film is often shown at the end of the trailer. The reason for this is that the name of the film is in our brain and that is all we can think about. If they showed the name of the film at the beginning of the trailer by the time the trailer is finished we would have 
forgotten the name.

Similar to our trailer in our discussion the strangers trailer does everything the spiderman trailer does.


THE TRAILER REEL

Analysing a trailer the strangers

For each trailer,try to say what you think the story will be. What clues have used to base your assumptions on? Are these clues presented through sound or visuals?

From the trailer one of the 1st scenes we see part of the company and from the name it gives us an idea of what type of film it is Also from the music, it music is very calm but deciving, then the sudden change of music finalises that the film is horror. From seeing many horror movies about demonic children e.g. hide and seek i am assuming that this is like one of those films. The child is demonic, From scenes in the movies I am guessing that murder will take place in the film..
There are different clues that tell us what type of film this is, these clues are portrayed thorough the music as well as the visuals.


This trailer is very different compared to the one above.

From seeing this you automatically know what type of film it is. When you see disney you are not expcting to see a horror movie. From the name of the film "princess and the frog" I have a very good idea that it will be about the classic story of the princess and the frog; a prince turns into a frog and princess has to kiss him to turn back to human. The voice over in the film tells us something different. Unlike the other trailer the sound plays a very big part in this trailer and in my opinion it plays a bigger part that then visuals.






The distributor's logo which appears at the beginning of each trailer is often used as a means for setting the mood of what follows

When seeing this logo, the font and the effect tell us that this film is most likely going to be a dark film. We might not get the idea that it is horror but we know that it is around that area. That might be horror or thriller or maybe sub-genres.
With this film the logo fits in with the type of film it is.
