How the Film Trailer for A Knight's Tale Engages the Audience
The film trailer " A Knights Tale" shows its audience what the film
will be about and tells a brief amount of the story, it does this by
using many techniques. The film trailer is spilt into five different
sections all each with a different theme and the genres of the film.
Section one is the establishing scene. This tells us the overall genre
of the film and sets the mood and the atmosphere of the film and for
the audience. In this case the shots are split second action shots
with quick movement in every shot either produced by the camera or a
movement in the trailer, as the first section progresses the shots
become faster and faster, each shot is ended by a black fade. The
black fades are effective because the shots are split second and the
fades allow time for the shot to be processed in your head this is
effective because it creates a tense atmosphere by making the audience
think something bad is going to happen and it also effective because
it draws the audience in by wanting to know what happens next. The
quick movement emphasises the action and the adventure and the
adrenalin of the film. If we look at one shot from the film where the
fast movement is a split second shot of a horses hooves running we can
see that the film will have lots of action in it because it is fast
paced and it is of a horse running, this is also effective because the
audience will be drawn in as the shot produces a lot of adrenaline for
the audience.
As the establishing shot sets the mood for the trailer, then there
tends to be no voice over or dialogue. However, in this trailer there
is a lot of sounds; the theme tune for A Knights Tale is the song by
Queen, it is the beat from We Will Rock You where each shot starts
with the first beat from the drums and then ends with the last beat

Sound is what brings movies to life, but, not many viewers really notice. A film can be shot with mediocre quality, but, can be intriguing if it has the most effective foley, sound effects, underscore, etc. Sound in movies band together and unfold the meaning of the scenes. When actors are speaking, the dialogue can bring emotion to the audience, or, it can be used as the ambient sound. Music is one of the main things to have when filmmaking. The use of Claudia Gorbman’s Seven Principles of Composition, Mixing and Editing in Classical Film gives audiences a perspective of sound, and, how it can have an impact on them.
