Successful A2 Film Trailer Example

This film trailer got an A* as it is a very successful film trailer. It uses many good qualities such as continuity editing and a good range of clips. It makes the genre and plot of the story clear to the audience, without giving too much of the plot away. The reason it was so successful is because it has a good structure and achieves it's purpose. Firstly the sound in conventional and matches the pace of the trailer. When the text comes up it fits to the music, which is very conventional and something that I want to achieve in my trailer.

This A2 trailer is of the same genre as my own, and so I can get most of the inspiration from this. This trailer achieved a grade A and met it's aims well. It had a good explanation of the back story which acted as a set up for the trailer. They used conventional characters such as young girls as ghosts which is a very common convention. The use of music is good and the editing to make the colours darker really crates a scary ambience. This would be a good technique to use in my video.    

This last trailer got the lower grade of the 3, grade B. Although this is still good I think that it was not as successful as the other trailers as elements such as the sound and camera angles were not as competent. For example there are some parts where the music just stops or the camera is shaky, making it look less professional. This would be something to avoid in my trailer in order to achieve a higher grade.
