You have investigated a good range of trailers. Try to make sure that your analysis focuses on the key concepts: editing, sound, camera techniques/angles and mise-en-scene. This will help you when it comes to planning your own production.
ReplyDeleteYou have identified some editing techniques and audience respones. Do you think the trailer is successful if it creates 'confusion'? Could there be another audience response? Why has the producer used this technique?
Be specific about the sound used and the effect this has on the audience. Are you talking about voiceovers? Dialogue? Please clarify.
I think the trailer is succesful when it is confusing as it keeps the audience thinking and focused on the plot, however, some people may think that it is bad due to the confusion because they are unable to understand the plot. I think the producer has used this technique to give the audience something to think about and build tension throughout.
ReplyDeleteThe sound used in the trailer both refers to the dialogue and the voice over.
