Dear Moderator,

Welcome to my A2 Media blog in which I show the stages I have been through in order to create my main product, a thriller film trailer titled "Eye Spy" along with two ancillary tasks, an "Eye Spy" film poster and a magazine front cover called "Uncut" which features my film trailer. You'll find all of these completed products directly below. My Research & Planning posts start in September and my Evaluation begins on March 11th.

I hope you enjoy,

Luke

Research & Planning: What is a Teaser Trailer/Trailer?

What is a Teaser Trailer/Trailer

A teaser trailer should consist of a combination of various factors which are:
  • A Montage: A grouping of various clips that include areas from the equilibrium, the disruption and various peaks that occur throughout the narrative.  However, the new equilibrium shouldn't be included in the trailer as the main problem should only be revealed to the audience.
  • Voice Over / Titles: Depending on the genre of the film being advertised, voice overs and titles are an effective way to sell a film.  Genres such as comedies use voice overs as they can provide a humorous feel.  Whereas other genres, such as horror, rely on titles to build up tension and project their theme.
  • Production Company: Before any of the film content is shown, the production company is revealed to the audience.  This is a good selling feature as people prefer productions by particular companies and know to expect on whether they'll enjoy the film or not this is backed up with the age certificate being included with it or just before.
  • Title of the film: This normally occurs at the end of the trailer to show their audience what to look out for.
  • Release Date: This also occurs at the end of the film along with websites and areas their audience can visit.
