In order to create a high quality film trailer I spent a good deal of time researching some trailers from around the film industry. As I was aiming for drama and suspense I stuck to action and fantasy movies such as Iron Man or Stardust. just to get a clear idea, are a few examples of trailers that I aimed to simulate:
1. Stardust (Fairly upbeat fantasy)
2. Pirates of the Caribbean 1/2/3 & 4 (Dramatic with gravitas)
3. Jurassic park (More sinister but great drama)
The above trailers are all very good at advertising films but are they right for my project? I'm creating a trailer for a wildlife film, so obviously a trailer for a horror film is inappropriate (Jurassic park out), but I do not want in to follow the same formula as other light hearted trailers (Stardust out). PotC is left, but what do I do with it? I can not just lift the tune... but I can look at how it is edited, with a slowly building crescendo of action and drama; that's what I will use. But now I needed to look at how wildlife trailers were presented, time for a trip to the BBC.
