What was the main teaser trailer that influenced our own trailer?
Social Networking
There were a few cuts in our teaser trailer, however there was a lot of black transitions which we wanted to add in our own for dramatic effect (had a black and white theme like ours) like ours, to shock and hit the audience and prolong the thinking time of the viewer, therefore giving the impression that things are unclear. In my opinion, the dramatic effect caused by the black slides successfully represents the drama genre, which consequently makes this particular trailer one that is extremely useful for developing our own trailer.
It was also very similar to our own teaser trailer where voiceovers are concerned. Like this specific trailer, we would be able to incorporate non diegetic sound over the top of what is happening allowing an oppurtunity for intruige without giving too much away.
I also liked the way that the main character's face is the last thing the viewer sees at the end of the trailer, because it is exactly what we wanted to have in our teaser trailer at the very end. We also decided to have a face staring right at the viewer because we could make the viewer connect with and identify that character instantly and effectively imply that something big will happen involving that particular person, giving subtle hints about the plot which will consequently engage the viewer.
We also planned to have the same sequence of the face being the last thing before the title 'For Better For Worse' and then the date 'Autumn 2012', which again, gives the viewer the main information without exposing the plot and other film elements.
