Research - Analysis of other student thriller trailers

Welcome back,
Today (28-01-2009) during our media class lesson we watched past coursework enters and look at the good and bad things about them.

"8-Ball"- Grade A piece of work due to it meeting nearly all of the criteria.
  • This had very little acting and this made the thriller very good as it concentrated more on actually presenting to us a well edited and the meaning was apparent.
  • It had no dialogue so there was no worries about the dialogue and the music conflicting.
  • A range of camera shots were used and this is a convention of thriller trailers.
  • Good use of trasitions between shots, there wasn't just straight cuts all the time there was whipes, fades and disolves.
  • The music and the pace of the music fitted the pace of the film perfectly.
  • A tripod was used throughout so all the shots were nice and steady.
  • Thye framed all their shots really well so you couldn't see the faces of alot of the people adding suspence and mistery.
  • It was a simple sotry.
  • The ttile was at the end of the sequence which made it different.

We then watched a now so good one however it did have some good elements.... "Puppet Note"

  • It did something called "Match on action" where there was a shot e.g. before someone was coming through the door one side then a shot coming through the same door but from the other side.
  • The editing was very good.
  • Music comes in late which is rather effective as it went with the pacing.
  • It had good natural sound.
  • HOWEVER, the acting was very poor and this affected the whole production.
  • Although, there was a variety of shots however there could have been some more close-ups.
