3. We were told the name of the movie at the end of
the trailer.
• It makes you want to watch all the way to the end
to find out.
• Being at the end it’s the most memorable thing
you have seen.
• It doesn’t give anything away too early.
4. Why will we be told who is starring in the film? How
will this information be given to us?
• Names of the famous actors featured were
mentioned ¾ of the way through and at the end to
reinforce their importance in the film.
• Was given to us in the form of a voice over and
text at the end of the trailer, as well as showing us
their faces on screen
• The voice over tells us that the film was based on a
short story by Stephen King, a well known horror
writer.
5. What type of events or action from the film will we
see?
• You can tell by the fast paced trailer that the film is
going to be action based and intense.
• You get examples of hauntings that occur as they
show the most dramatic and exciting clips from the
film to get a good sense of enigma.
6. What clues will the music give us as to what type of
film the trailer is advertising?
• The music starts off with a continuous piano to fit
with the longer shots then as the editing becomes
more fast paced the music changes to a more
dramatic and engaging soundtrack.
• Single drum beat when there is a cut in the trailer.
• It uses a fast tempo from the middle to the end of
the trailer as a way to make the audience aware that
the film will be a fast pace and gripping film.
7. If present what type of voice would be delivering the
voice over?
• A wise sounding deep voiced man, used in many
trailers that deal with the paranormal. He sounds like
a god, as if he sees everything and he knows all that
is and will happen.
8. How will the general speed and editing pace of what we see
compare to watching a clip from a film? Why is this? Will the
editing pace alter through the trailer, or stay the same?
• The speed and editing pace contrasts to if we were
watching the film because in the trailer it uses the most
exciting shots and fast editing to grip the audiences
attention and make them want to watch it.
• The editing pace alters throughout the trailer starting off
moderately slow and then getting quicker towards the
end as more action is happening to create a climax and
cliff hanger so that the audience doesn’t know what
happens and leaves them wanting to watch more.
9. What information will we be given in the very last
frame of the trailer?
• The final frame we see tells us the production
information for the film(Director, producer, actors
etc.) as well as the date of release of the film.
10. Why do you think we don’t usually see the classification for a
film as part of the trailer? In what instances would you see the
classification of a film at the beginning of the cinema trailer?
• We don’t usually see the classification for a film
when we are watching the trailer because often it
hasn’t been decided yet.
• Instances where the certificates would be shown at
the start of a cinema trailer is if it’s certificate is 18
years of age, that is likely to shock a audience and so
by showing it at the start of the trailer it lets them
know what to expect in the trailer.
11. What is the logo that is shown? And why?
• The logos that get shown are of the production
companies that helped to create the final product!
These are shown because some people might favour
those companies and also to promote their business.
