Movie Trailers Summary.

What are the similarities between all of these trailers?


None of the trailers reveal too much about the film. They all end by showing the name of the film so it is the last thing the audience see and the thing they are most likely to remember. Both Scott Pilgrim vs. The world and The Last Exorcism show a lot of different clips from the movie, whereas Super 8 just follows one story line.




What have you learned about the structure of teaser trailers from analyzing your selected three?


Each one of the trailers I looked at changed in pace significantly as the trailer moved on, at the beginning there would be not very many cuts meaning that it had a slow pace, but as the trailer reached its end there would be a lot of fast cuts, giving the audience loads of little clips from the film, it would get faster and faster until it showed the films title, which would mean the audience remember it easier. This was not true however with the Super 8 trailer, as at the end they're less cuts and the pace slows down again to build tension.
