5 Trailers Conventions and Iconography - Nicole Morgan

The genre of our group trailer is Romance and this research will help me to get ideas for the basis of how a trailer is set out and what to include in the trailer to portray to the audience what the film is about 



 
The Notebook 

Like – The trailer portrays both romance and comedy
Different time periods for the characters


Romantic music to fit with the genre of the movie


Slow moving clips which tie in with the theme of the movie



The Lucky One


Like – Shows the two main characters at first showing a bit about the background of each of them so the trailer is understandable for the viewer


It has the emotional song, at first the song choice is light hearted and as the characters fall in love the song choice changes to a more passionate emotional song


Shows both good and bad moments of the film without giving too much away




Like – The trailer has a clear target audience and personalises the universal studios logo to fit the films theme
It has the mix of American and English cast
Quirky music background at first then when it gets more serious when Poppy takes her life more seriously
Entices the audience with the fast moving clips and the certain scenes that are interesting
Includes all cast members
Shows the different genres (Romance, Comedy)

Dislike – Poppy is shown with blonde and brown hair and is unclear whether it is the same person or different if the audience does not know the actress well
