Production Information
Trailers begin in almost every single instance with the
production information and age restrictions, the company logos can instantly
make a viewer decide if they want to view the film or not. This can even mean a
decision on whether they will enjoy the trailer/film before even watching it,
this is because big companies often have higher budgets and usually higher
quality productions so audiences once they see who made it will make up their
mind whether it will be good or not. Reputations are massive in the film
industry and production companies such as Universal and 20th Century fox have
built huge reputations with their worldwide audiences and can ultimately be a
deciding factor in someone going to watch a film. For my trailer, I do not have
a high budget, high production or any sense of reputation. It means my trailer
will not be 'Universal' or '20th century fox' standards yet the type of
conventions such as camera shots, sound, editing and mise-en-scene will be as
mirrored as possible to the blockbuster films so as to make my trailer as
realistic and as cinematic as possible.
Plot Summary
The plot of a film has to be well structured and interesting
if it is to be successful, trailers are similar and this is why they show the
most interesting parts of the film to make sure they grab the viewer and keep
them engaged for the whole length.
Music/Voice-over
Voice overs and music are used to narrate the scenes and
give the audience a better understanding of what’s going on and also to help
set the tone and pace of what is happening on screen. The music is usually in
relation to how intense a scene is if there is romance then it’s likely the
music will be softer and much slower than that if it was a thriller movie it
would be discordant, jumpy, and loud in order to reflect the haunting tone of
the film. Voice overs as said before are used to narrate what is happening in
the scene, it can be used to compact chunks of information that would be too
hard to understand or too long to show in the scene in dialogue form.
