Analysing Different Genre Film Trailers

“The Dark Knight Rises” – Action
-          Lots of clips put together in a sequence with fast transitions to convey tense moments
-          Short dialogue clips – not giving too much information away to the audience
-          Non-digetic sound, in terms of music, over clip is slow to let audience think about what is happening
-          “I’m not afraid, I’m angry” – short line to attract audience as they will think something big is going to happen
-          Music gets faster when trailer becomes more action
-          Lots of special FX to engage audience
-          Punchy one liners to give information hints to the audience.

“TED” – Comedy
Ted, Movie, Toilet
-          Not as many clips, more relaxed feel to film that an action film
-          Clips are quite long to show audience the jokes and comedy factor, also to get a feel for the storyline
-          Music over clip is much less ‘punchy’ and has words to it – an actual song.


“The Possession” – Horror
-          Draws audience in by having clip about family – attracting the audience to the film
-          Short clips, slower transitions to give it a ‘spooky’ feel
-          Slow ‘scary’ music
-          Doesn’t give too much information away to keep the audience guessing and attracted to the film
-          Involves family to add sad factor
-          Music becomes louder and powerful throughout to leave effect on audience
-          Loud noises like screaming and shouting to create an atmosphere.

“The Bourne Legacy” – Thriller
-          A lot of talking to start the trailer – this is to let the audience know the base of the story
-          Fight scenes are quick shots with loud sound to add to the atmosphere
-          Doesn’t give too much information away to ensure people are ‘on the edge of their seats’ and want to go and see the film
-          Music is quiet but quicker than comedies and horror, but it gets louder throughout.
