Film Trailer Analysis

The trailer for Reservoir Dogs was the trailer of our genre I decided to analyse.

A noticeable difference between this and what would have been our film opening is the amount of action that's included to grab the audiences attention. Our film opening was detailed with a lot of character analysis and development, which we'll need to reduce. A particular example of action is shown in the quick cuts between 1:03 - 1:10 of the trailer

This highlights a clear need we need to take into consideration: A variety of different, sharper cuts.

The on screen explanations such as at 0:38 of the trailer are debatable, they are very useful for explaining the plot of the movie, but they are very common and may even seem a bit outdated. We're going for a more modern, slick trailer and the use of these could go against what we're trying to achieve.
