Research: the trailer

"Trailers consist of a series selected shots from the film being advertised. Since the purpose of the trailer is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny, or otherwise noteworthy parts of the film but in abbreviated form and usually without producing spoilers. For this purpose the scenes are not necessarily in the order in which they appear in the film. A trailer has to achieve that in less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds"


The purpose of the trailer is to capture as big audience as possible, as I got out of working on the research for my previous project.






The difficulty I had for this project was how to expand target audience for such specific music.


On my subjective opinion, I could guess that this sort of music would not be appealing to an everyday music listener




As such I decided to browse the footage for the bits that sounded 'less hardcore' as well as pick some punk tracks which would be appropriate for the genre.


At the same time, I was pointing out the crucial dialogue bits for the purpose of the trailer.
