More Targeted Research Into Trailers - Brendon


Hurt Locker
    Conversational shots, ie shot reverse shot - needed for our dialogue scenes as quite a few
    Close up on important features - e.g. gun, killed in action list
    Slides with important phrases “you have to be brave” - used to show our tagline
    Voiceover carrying over scenes - montage kind  of editing
    Music increasing in speed- needed to add pace to our ending
    Mix between action and drama/comedy shots - we need to cross-cut between these
    Shots getting faster and faster as the trailer progresses
    Finishing on a cliff hanger (pulling bomb out of the dirt) - for us the death

Pan’s Labyrinth
 Voiceover (ominous voice not from the movie) - we could consider?
 Long/medium shots
 Contrast between light and dark scenes/shots - colour overlay to distinguish home / war?
 Enhanced sounds of features relevant (fairy wings) - sound effects needed e.g. battle sounds
 Music progressing steadily in loudness
 Screens with the reviews from magazines
 Screens/voiceover of the producers names etc.


This is England
Old music (period correct to the 80’s)
Use of stills and black and white filters
A lot of conversational shots used, importance of dialogue
Music representing speech scenes happening
Music playing contrasting the shots, happy music in action scene etc.


Green Street Hooligans
Voice over to bring context to what is happening
Contrasting music, e.g. Happy with action scene
Silence/ no music during conversations to stress importance
Group shots to single shots
Shots of awards received - we should add


Green Zone
    Shots with the sounds of helicopters to start (black screen)
    Speech over scenes but not like a typical voiceover
    Music replicating the action happening
    Steady increase in shot speed and music speed/loudness
    Contrast shots, opening safe to opening door
    Dark scenes to light scenes contrast is a big thing throughout the trailer
