I have broken down a couple of movie trailers. I beleive our trailers challenge the average trailer as we've done many things to make ours seem more individual. Our trailer is a little like the shane meadows film "this is england" trailer. For example every trailer i watched had a narrator as a voice over to talk about the film. We havn't included a narrator over our clips, we included instrumental that i made inspired by a piano piece. This music is inplace with no vocals. so it can play over our emotional clips even more emotion to draw the audiences attention.
Here is the this is england trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0jkv2bRFgQ. As you can see, the establishing shot in that trailer is a shot of a British coucil estate, which shows social realism, people doing there day to day thing, walking the dog walking to work etc. Our establishing shot shows a modern day British family life, a teenage boy with his girlfriend and his older brother all together watching t.v. This also shows social realism as it is a British realistic family setting. We challenged the codes and conventions of our film with colours also. For example, Danny in the film is the antagonist of the film. He is made out to be the bad guy, so therefore you would think he wears dark clothing, black clothes to symbolise how sly and dark minded he is. But we decided to change his colours and wear colours such as white and grey. The white usually shows purity and grey usually shows dull, dark, sad. This represents that he has two sides. Also shows that the white represents how he is putting on an act as a loyal and pure person, but the grey represents his other "darker" side. Also there is a shot of me up against a fence looking out into fields. We have used symbolism here as it suggest that he is trapped because of the baby and he is looking out into the open world.
