Analysis of Trailers 1

I have chosen my genre to be Romantic Drama and I am going to anyalyse some existing trailers to see the common conventions in terms or genre.

The first trailer I looked at was The notebook

• The voice over man will have a different tone of voice depending on which genre the film is. For example I feel like he has a sweet warming tone in this trailer where as a horror trailer he may have a really low much less appealing voice. 
• Again the music will be different depending on the genre, this trailer has music that immediately makes you think of love, its slow and has a high tone and pitch to it.
• There are of course several images from the film in this trailer.
• There are lots of sound effects to jump from shots to shots which are slow and peaceful which again make you think of love in this particular trailer.
• There are references to other films which are the same genre as this one which will again differ according to genre.
• There is also reference to cast which is a good way of getting people to watch the movie because if they like an actor/actress that is in it they may just go and see it because of that. 
• In this trailer there are lots of different shots of eye candy, I feel like most of them are of the two young main parts, who are both very good looking. 
• The title at the end of the film is very clever as its eye catching and different and audience watching the trailer might remember it because of the title as it is right at the end. 
• In this trailer there are many flashbacks to clips and images of the past when the couple where young and happy or young and not so happy but either way when it flashes back to the present we can see the impact of how much difference age makes much easier.
