The trailer includes certain information about the film. This trailer includes:
- The director
- The name of the film
- The website
- The month of release
- The production company
We should try and include this information when we make our trailer.
The trailer also includes sound effects, for example screams. This is to build up tension, help the film fit with it's genre, and to make the audience curious as to why a character is screaming.
The trailer shows the main actors in the film. As this is a hollywood film, the actors are recognisable, quite well known and probably don't need introducing. This differs from our film as our actors aren't well-known, and cannot be seen due to the fact it is an audio trailer, so we should introduce them to the audience when making our trailer.
The trailer uses clips from the actual film too, to give the audience an idea about what will be in the film, and to try and interest them in the film. I think we should do this in our trailer to try and interest our audience.
The trailer for "shutter Island" uses a lot of flashes with sound effects to show the passing of time, and to seperate the trailer. Although we can't use flashes as ours is only a radio trailer, I think we should use a similar sound effect to show time passing.
Dramatic music is used in the trailer, again to build up tension and to interest the audience. This is another feature I think we should use.
