Name of film: Pusher
Trilogy
Year released: 2005
Genre of trailer: Horror/Crime
Mark (After viewing): 8/10
The Pusher Trilogy has a fast paced trailer which includes
montages and highlights of the film to instantly grab the audience’s attention.
I think this works really well next to the genre of the film as it promotes the
film in a quick simplistic way, making the audience want to see more.
There are many aspects of the trailer that I think I could
include within my own, the main factor being the overall speed of the trailer.
By slowly increasing the speed of the montages towards the end, it creates
tension and makes the audience curious as to what the rest of the film is. In
relation to this, by adding dramatic music in sync with the scenes it creates a
bigger impact making the trailer has gained the audiences full acknowledgment.
They have also used quotes from many different organisations and reviewers to
help influence the audience into wanting to see the film that “everyone is
talking about.” I think this is a very good technique as it subconsciously
makes the audience think that it is going to be a good film. This is used a lot
in modern film trailers and is almost always successful.
On the other hand I think some aspects of this trailer might
not have been so successful; the main one being the montages might have been a
bit too quick. Towards the end the montage speeds up so quick that you can
hardly see what is happening. Although this was probably done on purpose it
might defer the audience away from wanting to watch the film. This also ties in
with that I think the overall trailer doesn’t show enough key plot bits; making
the trailer vague and not definitive of what the main story-line is.
The trailers average score from the class was 8. This was lower than my original
personal score of 9 but generally
overall I think everyone agreed that it is a well suited trailer for the niche
genre and it works really well to attract the target demographic.
