More specific research into trailers that are in the genre of our film. I wasn't looking for how a trailer is constructed generally but for more targeted ideas so that we can improve on our storyboard and make sure our trailer keeps to the conventions of the genre. Here are my handwritten notes as I watched through the trailers. I haven't typed them up because in a way the indiviual notes don't matter, it's what I've learned overall that counts. My key findings:
- much more dialogue than I realised
- more use of intertitles - actually more than voiceover seems to be the trend
- distinct trailer phases
- matching drum beats and action is key
- montage editing - trust the audience to see the connections
