Recommended: What techniques do trailers use to intice people to the movies

The Role of Trailers for Movies Trailers are mainly used as marketing tools. Trailers make people aware of new movies and new movie release dates, most commonly found in the beginning of rental movies and at cinemas before the movie starts. Trailers are put at the beginning of movies because this is when the audience are paying most attention so they grab the audience´s attention. What is known as ‘the best bits´ of a movie in are in included in the trailer. These are normally the most dramatic or most hilarious scenes, making then make the viewers more interested in watching or wanting to see the movie.

    In his essay, “It’s Just a Movie: A Teaching Essay for Introductory Media Classes”, Greg M. Smith argues that analyzing a film does not ruin, but enhances a movie-viewing experience; he supports his argument with supporting evidence. He addresses the careful planning required for movies. Messages are not meant to be telegrams. Audiences read into movies to understand basic plotlines. Viewers should examine works rather than society’s explanations. Each piece contributes to Smith’s argument, movies are worth scrutinizing.

    The music in this video appeals to the audience emotions. The purpose of having this fearful and overwhelming music is to cause the audience to feel scared or to actually pay attention to what is said. I am sure that if there was no music in this trailer the argument of the media would have been less effective. The music is changed when the trailer moves into to the decision that could change the cultures perspective towards women. The tone of the music changes to a more energetic and hopefully version. Now, that the audience is listening the provider adds captions and wording in the trailer. The choice of wording in the trailer is influencing the majority of the audience to feel guilt and hatred against the news media. The media is shown as the enemy which causes the audience to make a decision based on their feelings towards the media. Although, the trailer does mention women can make a change and the news media can be a positive influence if used by the proper people. The images that are shown can be hurtful and hard for some viewers to

    With the trailer the background music has a huge impact on the intensity in the trailer. For example in the beginning it shows the girl going to Mr. Grey’s office and the background music is calm instrumental music but as camera slowly shows his face the music changes to a slowed down version of Crazy in Love by Beyoncé. With that being the part to catch the audience’s attention on why they should continue to watch the trailer. Another thing it does it has the male character telling a back story about his

    In the movie trailer for Holes you can generally see the three rhetorical devices, which make the trailer effective. These are fairly noticeable in the movie trailer, some more so than others. While the message they are getting across is quite obvious, the speaker aspect of it is not quite as obvious. The speaker in the trailer uses an enthusiastic voice to show the audience, which is generally young kids or people who like mystery, that it is a movie with plenty of excitement. While they go through it the speaker gets more enthusiastic, and the music for the trailer also becomes more upbeat. The speaker also mentions that the movie is based off of an award-winning book, most likely because it might broaden the age group for the audience.

  • About Delirium: My Book Trailer

    329 Words  | 1 Pages

    My book trailer is about Delirium. The two main symbols were the motorcycle and the surgery tray. I choose to use a picture of the motorcycle because it is how Lena and Alex got out. Without Alex being there with the motorcycle, they would not have been able to get out. The surgery tray is big because Lena will have a procedure done to make her not be able to love, which she does not want to do. I decided to not use names of the characters to keep them hidden a little because I think it will make people want to read the book more. I like when there is a little bit of mystery with movie trailers or book trailers because they make me want to read them.

    In the opening scenes of the trailer, already the audience is exposed to the dystopian atmosphere of chaos, social anarchy and oppression. This is promoted by short fast paced montages and high angle shots of the swarmed streets, close angle shots of people in terror and military forces. This also conveys the magnitude of chaos this “dilemma” has caused. A short scene of the main protagonist Robert struggling through the crowd has also been visually constructed to enforce to the audience that he is the main character of this movie. The visual construction of this scene is utilised by a close up slow motion focused shot on Will Smith with the background blurred to completely draw the audience onto him. What is more unique is that this combination of effects acts as an inference that Will Smith is the solution or only hope in settling this anarchy as he swiftly makes his way through the congested street. The explosion of the bridge also informs the audience the narrative is set in New York implied by being a landmark of the city. Already in the exposition, the visual conventions have provided an engaging and well informed construction of dystopian qualities and information about the plot itself.
