Specific Trailer Research
What Lies Beneath
Fast cuts between shots - we need this for pace.
Loud music, gets louder and louder as the movie goes on - again would work for us.
No voice over - we have dialogue instead.
Title slides giving away small hints to what the story of the film is - we could include?
In the first minute of the trailer, they use a fade transition for the happier parts of the trailer and then when the trailer starts to get scary, the shots quick quickly between each other using no transitions - we could adapt?
Insomnia
Voice over – deep male voice, very clearly spoken, adds a scare factor.
Shots between cuts get faster and faster as the trailer progresses.
Similar to “What Lies Beneath”, they use the fade transition at the start and then when the film starts to get scary and you see more action, no transitions are used.
Dramatic changes of colour to show that his thoughts are being messed up and that he is becoming mentally unwell - we need to adjust the colouring of the dream sequence.
Shutter Island
POV shots looking at the guards – similar to when Lucy will be looking at the students in her new school.
Quick shots of prisoners – random (Not Chronological) – we could do this with the dreams. We could show the story and then have random close ups of Lucy in her dream, or extreme close ups of her eyes.
Loud screams make give a sense of the atmosphere. We could have noises like the screams to get people on edge.
The Lovely Bones
Sound gets louder and louder as the trailer goes on. We could do this as the trailer progresses and you start to see more and more about the killer.
Quick cuts the whole way through the trailer.
Voice over gives away little hints to the story of the film.
Trailer gives away a large bit of information about who the final killer is. Maybe too much information?
Are we going to give away that much information about who the killer is? Does it give away the ending to the film?
