Structure of a film trailer

I began to look at the structure of various film trailers, this will help me to storyboard, film and edit my own.

Phone Booth Trailer

 

•Production company logo

•Fast cuts- short- diegesis

•Closer to the diagesis

• Intertitles – location – with voice over.

•Fast shots and montage editing – see the character of the location.

•Intertitle

•People using phones – links to narrative.

•Form – contrast – match.

•The protagonist and star is shown, the shot is from a low angle – shows power.

•Shows protagonists lifestyle

•Shots slow down, show lots of different angles – shows that the protagonist doesn’t know where the guy is and because it is shot from one location it maintains the audiences interest.

•The narrative then develops into the quest

•The logo of the production company and the producers name is shown again

•Development of narrative enigma

•Character development – visually

•Fast editing continues

•Cliffhanger – very fast editing, very loud sound
