3. 1)The Comedown
•The voiceover at the beginning was good because it allowed the
audience to understand what was going on
•The non-diegetic score music was very effective because it built up the
tension as the pace of the character gets faster
•The titles were well placed and had an effect to them where its seemed
like they were shaking just like the drug effects.
4. 2) The 11th Day
• I thought that the CGI's used were very effective as they made all
the explosions seem very realistic
• The different shots used were effective to show good variety
• What i found inspirational was how it goes from the news report to
real life
• The fast pace editing was effective as it creates tension of when
he's running
• The non-diegetic score music and the good use of volume control
were very effective as it built up the tension.

7. Trailer Length
Most trailers are between 2
minutes and 3 minutes, they
are made short so that they
don’t give to much
information away, but they
need to give the right
amount and the most
important information in
order for the audience to
want to watch the whole
film.
8. Trailer Titles
I noticed that in most trailers the actual name of the film is one of the last things
to appear, as to make the audience remember the name of the film. Not many
credits are used only the main characters and the productions right at the end.
Monster-In-Law. Title
comes in at 2:24
Circle Of Lies. Title comes in at
1:30
Miss Congeniality 2. title
comes in at 2:12
Preachers Kid. Title comes in at 2:21
9. Trailer Credits
Not all trailers have credits (Another Cinderella Story) most of them do and
usually the trailer credits come at the end in order to not distract or take
away the viewers attention on the actual trailer. They don’t usually last very
long as not many viewers will read them.
17 Again credit comes in at 2:21 it lasts for just over 2 seconds.
The Great Gatsby credits come in at 2:28 and last for around 2 seconds.
10. Miss Congeniality And Another
Cinderella Story
Nostalgia is used in Another
Cinderella Story as it is a modern
version of the original, and
Miss Congeniality 2 is a sequel
therefore both of these already
have inherited audiences and
attract both young and older as
the original Cinderella was made
in 1950 and the first miss
congeniality came out in 2000.
11. Inspiration From The 2 Student Trailers
• After watching the 2 student trailers I have a brief idea
of a some ideas for my trailer. I definitely believe that a
voiceover is very effective as the audience can have a
better knowledge about the story or character.
• I now have better understanding of good use of volume
control and how they are good to build up tension at
specific parts of a trailer.
• I really liked the titles in “The Comedown” as they had
a shaky effect on them (related to drug side effects)
