Analysis of Trailers


To develop our ideas, we researched and studied other horror trialers in order to guide us into our own production.

Sorority Row

(Official Trailer)

· The title of the film was shown at the end of the trailer; this is in order to leave people with the idea of the title as their last thought, allowing them to remember the film.


· The stars are a way to promote a movie it can also be a reason for people to go see a movie in the first instance.


· The type of action we see in the film trailer is violence, death, horror and crime.


· The music gives us clue of the film being shock, horror and fear


· There is no voice over in the trailer however the dialogue explains the narrative and reflects the genre of the movie due to the actions used.


· The speed and camera shots resemble fear, horror of the genre and when the camera shows the facial expressions it also resembles the genre and tells us about the narrative.


· The information we are given in the very last frame of the trailer is the text ‘coming soon’ and the website for the movie. This resembles the different ways of promoting the movie.


· In my opinion a trailer rather than a poster would be more effective in making me want to see the film as I can see what is going on, what the genre is, the explanation of the narrative, advertises the production company which allows us to understand the expectations of the movie. Also, the stars are represented in their character forms. The audience can view the quality of the technology and graphics used to produce the movie.


· I expect to see the trailer before movies at the cinemas as there are slots for them to be advertised for the audience to come back to the cinema for the next film and experience the movie in the luxury of a cinema. But if a movie is advertised in the breaks of TV programme then it can suggest that it has the budget to promote its movie.
