Kidualthood trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w

M73QyfZ3c There is more dialogue at the

beginning of the trailer than the end.

A lot of diegetic sound throughout the

trailer but stops at important phrases

to allow us to get a feel of the

characters through speech.

The camera angles and movement are

important as they relate to the film

moments it captures the main things

to give the scene impact. E..g.

panning gave the effect

Lots of straight cuts to prevent

revealing characters reaction

fades to next scene The same music throughout

Whilst the characters speaking

the are other captions shown that

relate. Words come with some captions.

Heart beat sign along it.

Their use of tag lines draw you

into the story, it gives you a

written synopsis. By doing it a

couple of words at a time it

makes the audience follow on till

it makes sense. This is done

effectively as the sequence in

Bullet boy

Starts with a prayer, the volume of

the prayer overtakes the diegetic

sound whilst showing different

moving images with relevance.

There is narrative throughout the

whole trailer. Although it changes,

Jody was saying the prayer at the

beginning for the 1st 20seconds. It

introduces the type of character he

is then the narrator. He did pause

when a character was speaking.

Introduction of characters was done

by the camera capturing their face

Its about a couple who were

best friends first just as soon

as they made it official they

had to depart but promised

each other they’ll reconnect. 2

years later and she had to

move on with a bright future

going for her but he came

back. Wanting everything to

go back to the way it was he

will do all it takes, even kill.

But does she want to carry on

her new life or follow her old

one. Themes are; love, loss, gang

violence, deceit and betrayal.

Multiple scenes/scenery

Related costume and props

Variety of camera shots and

movement used for effect

Don’t put too much dialogue but

enough Use music for effect Characters narrating following

scenes in trailer Make sure themes are explored

through trailer The more generic it is the easier it

will be in the exam. Words following the screen is good

Leave the audience thinking

wanting to go see the ‘film’
