8/9)How does the trailer for Ill Manors hook audiences into the narrative and pose
questions that the film will answer? Identify 3 ways/techniques and How
does the trailer for Ill Manors balance plot and spectacle?
There
are many typical codes and conventions in a film trailer. First of all there is
a small amount of typography, introducing aspects of the film such as lead
actors, director and production company. This is because large blocks of text
would bore the viewer, especially as a large part of the films target audience
is uneducated. The trailer then uses the typical feature of showing positive
reviews at the start of the trailer with short quotes from each review praising
the film, making people want to watch the film due to the high reviews. The
trailer then does the typical convention of showing various interesting
scenes from the film to draw the reader in. These scenes gradually increase in
pace until they are extremely quick, under 1 second, and are in sync with the
non diegetic fast paced music in the background to exhilarate the
viewer with the fast paced action on screen, exciting them and making them
want to see the film. The trailer then typically gives the name of the film in
a bold font to make it clear to the audience what film trailer they are
watching and the release date of the film is also placed at the end of the
trailer.
