Summary of trailer analysis

I have analysed drama genre trailers as this is the genre my film will be. Two of the trailers I analysed have the sub genre of sport; due to the fact my trailer will be based on the sport gymnastics, I decided to analyse trailers that are also based on this sport. My trailer analysing shows how close up's of the protagonist are used near the beginning of trailers. As well as this, establishing shots are used at the beginning of trailers as these enable the trailers to let the audience know the scene or theme of the film. Due to this I will ensure to include a close up of my protagonist and an establishing shot of my main setting near the beginning of my trailer.

All of the trailers I analysed consist of text captions near the end of the trailer. To follow convention of my genre I will ensure to include a text caption in my trailer to add in extra information about my film which could make it look persuasive.

To convey gymnastics, I have noticed within the trailers I have analysed that a lot of birds eye view shot's and tracking shots have been used to portray people doing gymnastics. To ensure I portray gymnastics effectively and in an interesting way I will ensure to include a lot of these types of shots.

In the gymnastics based trailers there are also a lot of sound effects being used to exaggerate movement to engage the audience more, therefore I will include this sound in my trailer to follow convention and make it more entertaining.

Whilst analysing these trailers I also noticed there are many close up shots used. Therefore I will ensure I include a lot of close up shots in my trailer as these are conventional to drama genres because they contribute to portraying feelings.
