Movies - everyone knows that a recreation is never better than the original. But for some reason, directors are still redesigning old films, and they are viewed in theatres. I often ask myself, “How is this possible? What are people thinking?” However, after watching the trailer, I frequently find myself watching the movie along with everyone else, hoping that this time will be different. The trailer’s always find a way to mesmerize you, to draw you in, and to make you want more. Repeating an action expecting a different result is Einstein’s definition of insanity, yet directors drive everyone to be insane with their cleverly crafted previews that just about guarantee you will want to see the flick. At this point, the producer knows how to …show more content…
With these strategies, the producer did an effective job of convincing me and many others to see his movie when it releases. After my initial viewing, I noticed that there were a number of objects purposefully shown, but I was not quite sure why the director had pointed them out. I then proceeded to watch the trailer for the old It movie; it became quite clear to me who the intended audience of this movie was: those who have seen the old It movie or read the book. Keeping this in mind, I watched the new preview once again, and I had a much deeper understanding of some of the scenes shown. My first realization came with the paper boat shown at the beginning. Previously, I did not entirely comprehend the scene. This is an allusion to the original trailer, where a little kid also lost his paper boat and chased it to the sewer. The director created a clear point in making this the first scene of the trailer to show the similarity to the original. However, the director also introduces a major difference: the clown in the new movie doesn’t speak as he did in the original. With his intended audience in …show more content…
While watching the original trailer, I thought the clown, the villain in the movie, seemed silly and quite frankly ridiculous, as he giggled and spoke to the kids, showing his full body frequently. The producer of the new film knew that hardcore It fans would see the movie no matter what, so I believe that this strategy was meant to appeal to people who like horror movies but are not sure that It will live up to its expectations. The more elusive, less talkative clown shown immediately is meant to evoke a new sense of fear and mystery in the audience since the genre after all is to entertain and scare. The fact that this was the first scene was clearly intended; the producer wanted to make the point right away that in his creation of this movie he kept the plotline of the original but added his own twists to make it more appealing to an audience looking for some scares. Another allusion that I picked up on was the setting of the movie. As the child is racing to catch his boat, a street sign labeled Jackson Street is focused into frame. With the proper background, you realize that this is one of the streets ‘It’ plagues; this specific reference was included
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
I think that the opening of the film was not as good as the opening of
Motion Pictures have always had a strong influence in today’s culture, but maybe none as prevalent as Star Wars. Originating with Episode 4 A New Hope, the series boomed from 1977 to 2005 with yet another addition coming in 2015. The strongest of the series was the original trilogy episodes 4, 5, and 6, all generally released in the 1980s. As one of the strongest film francaises still today, it’s impact within the 1980s was only the tip of the iceberg. Children and adults alike still anticipate the new edition of this seemingly endless journey. If any singular film series still holds prevalence in its future decades it is Star Wars: Original Trilogy.
Some would say watching horror movies and being scared out of your wits is a fun way to spend their hard earned money. They go see these movies on average once a week, each time choosing a newer version of a trilogy like “Chucky” or “The evil Dead”. Film making has come a long way over the last few decades, the graphic...
In the opening scene of “Tropic Thunder”, we see elements of a satire with the fake trailers of upcoming movies. In our lives, we are familiar (and probably not too happy about) with the previews before the movie we are about to see. We see the top stars in Hollywood in some of the newest films, some good, and some bad. In our heads, we think either Hollywood has run out of ideas or, that we definitely have to see that one when it comes out. The fake trailers displayed in the movie poke fun of some movies we have seen in recent years come out and the times we wish were not sitting in a movie theatre watching their trailers.
Dull and bright colours, with the effect of blur and tunnel vision are also easily noticeable. This shows us what the pre-cogs are seeing when they predict a crime. Being inside pre-cogs and seeing their visions makes the scene more engaging and thrilling for me as a viewer. We also notice diegetic, and nondiegetic music and see camera angles like over the shoulder, point of view and hand-held shots which also enhance this thrilling feeling that Spielberg creates. In not just the opening scene, but throughout the film. Also the constant motifs and symbols that have been cleverly placed in ‘Minority Report’ made me think, especially about human privacy, rights and many other ideas that maybe Spielberg was trying to trigger. All being put together to create an amazing classic film that was very enjoyable to
make us see exactly what he wants us to and this film is a very good
The trailer released for the film followed suit, flashing images of violence, guns, and heart-throb Leonardo DeCaprio, in order to grab the attention of the audience. In most cases, people do not realize that behind these scenes lies subliminally transmitted emotion. Through the instrumentation that guides the trailer, the audience’s perceptions of the juxtaposed images are altered. By changing this music, one can change the tone of the entire trailer.
Language Used in Two Trailers for Bend It Like Beckham A trailer is supposed to promote a certain movie that is coming soon on DVD or in the cinema. They could be action, trailers, romance trailers, or detective trailers. For example if it was a action trailer it could include a fight scene blood, fire arms and cool stunts, but if it was a romance film it might include some slow music at the beginning, a candle light at dinner with someone you love or a red flower because the colour red connotes love happiness and peace between the lovers.
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.
This new trailer, which was released last Monday according to BGR, details more about the film. Towards the end of the last trailer, people got an unexpected surprise when they saw raptors seemingly following a Chris Pratt-led assault team. Monday’s trailer tells of how Chris Pratt ever gained the ‘respect’ of the raptors.

...impossible to find myself anywhere but sitting on the edge of my seat. It was difficult to predict what would come next, constant suspense was all around. Thus, making the situations portrayed more interesting and entertaining to the viewer of the film.

Many people don’t think about it so much, but movies (or just film in general) have become such a big part of our lives that we don’t think much of it because it just feels like a usual part of living. But have you ever wondered why this is, and how far back film started? Movies and film have been around for a long time, have developed in big ways throughout time, and has advanced in such a big and new way to this day.
First of all, I would like to go over my expectations of movies in the future:
