Film trailers are produced in several forms, to influence the public to view the film, and to get a good profit before they sell the film.
Film trailers are used to advertise new films on the television.
In the trailers they use diverse camera angles, lighting, sound effects, music, slow motion/ fast forward. This will attract an audience to watch the film. I will be writing about 3 different trailers in this essay; ‘Shrek, High Heels and Low Lifes and a Knights Tale’. I will be discussing the similarities between all 3 trailers, listing my favourite trailer and giving reasons and explanations. At the end I shall conclude my opinions and will sum up my findings and state the effectiveness of each of the trailers.
Firstly I will be writing about ‘Shrek’. ‘Shrek’ is an animated comedy film about an ogre trying to get everyone out of his swamp. He goes to rescue a princess from a tower guarded by a dragon to get permission from the king to get everyone out of his swamp but instead he falls in love with the princess.
In this trailer it shows lots of different camera angles such as over head shots zoom in shots etc. their lighting is very bright and colourful, although when something bad is happening like when the dragon tries to burn them at the beginning it was dark and gloomy. The sound effects included screaming and the dragon roaring. The music was very cheery and groovy once you got to the middle of the trailer but at the beginning it was slow. They used slow motion to attract the audience.
I think that the film is for everyone but particularly for families and children. It is aimed at both genders. I think that the director used all of these techniques to attract the audience that he has targeted. They also mentioned t...

...ant to see. All of these trailers are effective to make the audience and the public want to watch the film and need all of the techniques to show how good the film is and what it’s about. The producers would make much more money by advertising the film to people because if no one knew that it was in the cinemas no one would go and watch it. ‘Shrek’ was effective because it made me interested in the actors/ actresses that starred in the films. ‘High Heels and Low Lifes’ was effective because it wanted you to be one of the actresses that were in it and as it shows that women can be tough too as well as men. ‘A Knights Tale; was effective because it made you want to know the rest of the story and therefore made you want to watch the film. I think that all of the films would make me want to watch them because they were all intriguing and seemed to have good story lines.
In conclusion, I liked this movie because it showed women of very different backgrounds coming together, accepting each other, and becoming close friends during a crisis moment. In reality of today’s society, I saw that women are jealous against each other instead of working together. This movie shows the joy of overcoming differences and forming bonds with diverse women. In a very simple term, the director reminds us of the unique book of life that we each have. The other message is how the older are separate from society, because of their limitations and age. The older ladies in this movie shows us and other older people how to bloom again, and relive. In this movie they share their life, their tales, and their lessons from the past with us to change our typical mentality about older people.
It adds in the fantasy aspect by using a clip in the trailer that makes the people watching the trailer want to figure out what happened to Michael J. Fox, and how he is going to handle living as a werewolf in high school. The trailer adds in it comedy aspect by having most of the trailer revolve around comedy. In a multitude of scenes, Michael J. Fox is either doing something embarrassing, or he is doing something really cool or weird, such as Michael J. Fox dancing on top of a van while playing “Surfin’ USA.” Throughout watching the trailer for the first-time, I was in love with the comedy and fantasy the trailer was showing me. That is because the trailer was tailored to apply to a younger audience. Most adults today would not have found the movie trailer funny or fantastical. Most of the adults today, would actually would have found comedy in making fun the trailer. This is because humor changes with time. In today’s day, people might find it funny how older movies had bad sound effects, and visual effects. In 1985, the makeup, the special effects, and the sound effects all would have been top of the line. This would ensure that the comedy would have been used to its best of its ability, and the makeup would ensure that people would believe in the fantasy and want find out more about the teen
It is no secret that there is an obvious difference of how women are portrayed in the media versus men. This movie discussed female characters never having lead roles and stated that when they did it ended in the women depending on, loving, or having to have a man. One young high school girl said, “Women never play the protagonist. The girls are
In 2013, the horror film The Conjuring first aired. The director of this and many other horror films such as Insidious is the talented James Wan. The main characters in this trailer are Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, two well-known individuals in the horror film industry. This trailer is intended for an older audience who likes to be scared. It's not suitable for young children. When watching The Conjuring trailer, one would notice many examples of pathos. These examples included the eerie music, real pictures from the actual Warren family, word clips that come across the screen, and scary pop up scenes from the film. There are a few examples of logos and ethos that are present in the film as well. The visuals in this trailer successfully

...he main character and the portrayal of women; however, when I asked males for their opinion about the film, they had nothing but praise for the movie stating that it was “inspiring”. The ability of the film to be interpreted various ways also fits my personal definition of art because I believe that upholding multiple interpretations and not having a clear right or wrong interpretation is art’s defining factor. Lastly, the surrounding space heavily influenced my judgement because the theatre’s massive size filled with multiple individuals magnified my uncomfortableness due to the film’s abundant use of nudity which directly influenced my judgement. My uncomfortableness affected my judgment negatively and highlighted more of the aspects I disliked such as the sexism in the film instead of positive aspects such as the superb and diverse background music that was used.
