Conventions of film trailers





Key conventions of film trailers:

  • an audience title stating what audience the trailer is suitable for (e.g all audiences) including age certificates
  • titles of the production and distribution companies of the film
  • the title of the film; this is often shown at the beginning or end of the trailer
  • the release date of the film
  • a voiceover (either a character or a narrator)
  • dialogue
  • soundtrack
  • editing (e.g cuts, fades, fades to black etc.)
  • camera (shot types e.g close up, long shot, establishing shot)
  • links to film websites or social media pages for the film are often included
  • introduction of actors and actresses names (emphasising well-known or new actors and actresses)

Your posts are up to date other than the knife throw/ camera and tripod setup post. Please address this. You also need to ensure you start your filming for the preliminary activity as soon as possible.
