What I Learned from the Trailer Analysis
In conclusion of the Monsters Trailer essay I came up with a structure for my trailer.
I decided to separate my trailer into three segments:
Segment 1-the opening:
The first segment is usually relaxed with fading transitions and helps sets up atmosphere. This segment is the one that introduces us into the film, so it will most likely have the slowest pacing to help the audience get into the film.
Segment 2-the synopsis:
This segment is slightly faster paced and tells more about the story and characters while still keeping the non linear structure in order to keep the vagueness there. This segment sums up what the film will be like and what it's about while still being brief so people aren't spoiled of the film and audiences will still want to see the film to see the brief synopsis be expanded upon and concluded.
Segment 3-the climax:
This is where the editing gets very fast to build up tension to a big crescendos, whether that is a final image that shocks the audience or a loud musical jump to frighten them, a lot of the times it's both. This is something that is worked into my trailer as cuts become faster and faster until finally the titles roll and the music ends in a barrage of noise.
With this structure being based on an existing trailer, I believe this layout will really help my trailer appeal. It will feel like the regular trailer, while the vague story and surreal mise en scene will be the elements to shock people and draw an audience in.
