Below is a teaser trailer made my a student (Nemi) see Nemi's Media Blog. The trailer is called "The Last Journey". In this blog I will be giving an analysis like I did with the poster and magazine on the advantages and disadvantages of the teaser trailer.
Firstly, the advantages and the first is that some good shots are used within this trailer, for example on the 34 second mark there is a high angle shot of a girl on the phone. This shot portrays the inferiority of the girl, perhaps emphasising how she may be in some sort of danger.
The second advantage of the teaser trailer is that it doesn't give too much detail and content from the film away. I've seen several student trailers and a lot seem to give away much of the content from the film and therefore spoils it. The consumer wants to be attracted but not to know too much of the storyline and this is essential and that is what this teaser trailer does well.
However, the teaser trailer carries many disadvantages too. One being that the music is very patchy in that at one point a Britney Spears song is playing then all of a sudden cuts to an instrumental. The editing to the soundtrack is quite poorly done and is doesn't have a flow to it like it should do.
Another disadvantage is acting, the acting is not entirely convincing with the fight being fairly poorly created with one slap to the back and then them departing from each other and the girl also seemed to be smirking a little when attepting to cry. However credit does have to be given in that they are not professional actresses.
By identifying such advantages and disadvantages I can see for my teaser trailer what needs to be added or improved and what needs to be avoid in the production of my filiming.
