RESEARCH: TRAILER ANALYSIS

Make new PAGES: FILM WEBSITES, FILM POSTERS

Pick three trailers to analyse. They should ideally be ones that inspire you or that you can imagine making yourself . If you wish, you can pick ones that also have posters and websites that you can analyse confidently.
The old A2 blog link is here and hosts many good examples of previous student work.

TRAILER ANALYSIS
Present the analysis as a total presentation perhaps using an infographic like this here which uses Piktochart.
  • how does the trailer signal its genre through visual and sound codes? 
  • how does the trailer draw attention to the roles taken, particularly star talent? 
  • what essential narrative elements are explained in the inter-titles? 
  • how does the trailer use dialogue? 
  • what institutional information does the trailer contain, such as names of production company, talent, director, release date? 
  • how does the trailer utilise accolades ("five BAFTA nominations") or other key hooks ("from the director of Gravity") 
  • also - obviously - what many different elements make it a good trailer?
  • why does it inspire you?

POSTER ANALYSIS
Examples here
and here 
here 
When you come to design your poster, you will give details on the design and construction process, like this excellent example

WEBSITE ANALYSIS
When you analyse your three websites, pick a different presentation platform like Canva or Visme like this excellent example.
Website terminology here 

Our aim is to complete the 'HOW' work first then analyse 3 film posters and 3 film websites before September. That completes the RESEARCH component.
