RESEARCH - WHY IS A FILM TRAILER MADE?
I watched all three trailers on the Teaching trailers resource, made by the FDA online, in order to deepen my understanding on why trailers are made and how they indicate the film’s genre.
The Mustang
The first trailer is “The Mustang.” Roman the main character, is a prisoner nortorious for his violent behaviour. He finally recieves a channce to tranforms and rebuild his life when he is selectd for rehabilitaion therapy that requires him to trian a wild mustang (horse). This film fits under three genres, which include: Fantasy, Drama and Action Adventure. For the Mustang, another genre this could possibly fit into could include Western, as this is set in Carson City, Nervada - with traces of “Western” elements throughout the trailer. Such as; cowboy characters and horses.
Atermis Fowl
The second trailer is Atermis Fowl. Its three main genres, include: Fanatsy, Drama and Action Adventure. The 12-year old criminal prodigy comes across the secret world of fairies and eventually ends in a dealy battle with powerful fairies. Atermis Fowl, comes across as a children’s fantasy film becasue the main character was confident, creative and adventurous. Who sets off on an interesting, magical adventure and throughout the trailer the audience encounters magical clips/scens of him climbing thorugh trees into a new world and working with powerful fiaires/creatures.There seems to be another underlying theme of quest; as this is very common/popular in adventure films, and is emulated in this film trailer.
Hobbs & Shaw - Fast & Furious
The third trialer is Hobbs & Shaw. Fast & Furious, is a sequel/series of films. Hobbs & Shaw is a part of the series. Its three main genres, include: Fanatsy, Drama and Action Adventure. It Is about a US agent Luke Hobbs and British mercenary Deckard Shaw, who both are forced to put their rivalry side and work together to stop a genetically enchaced supervillian. The movie trailer includes fast pace scenes, with hard cuts to help emphasie the violent nature of the movie. Thoughout the trailer there are also short scenes of humour and amsued dialgoue, to entertain the audience. This would also fit into another film genre of “feel-good movies,” as the humourous tone is used to let audiences escape from reality.
Completed.
