This is my A2 Media Blog where I had to create a trailer for a movie genre of my choice, I chose Thriller. This blog shows all my research and planning whilst creating my trailer and all the changes I made throughout until I finally created the final piece - Silent Students.

Researching AS/A2 Trailers

When watching other A2 media trailers on youtube I found a lot of them were more like a 2 minute short film, I found they did not have different scenes and all stayed within the same location with very slow cuts. After watching a Grade A media A2 trailer and other popular film trailers on youtube, I found they were a lot more effective and looked a lot more like a trailer as they cut to different scenes and different locations – quickly. Because of the different scenes it is easy to understand it is a trailer, promoting a film, whereas if it is all filmed in the same location with the same clothes and people, it begins to look like an extremely short film that usually gives away the entire plot.

Here I found two different Thriller trailers, I found the first one was the most effective as it has quicker and different shots showing different scenes, whereas the second trailer is continuously in the same scene and is more like a short film and gives the story of the film away.
