Watching movie trailers give you a glimpse at what a movie is about before you watch it. Most movie trailer sites are really similar, so you'll find everything from the latest movie trailers for upcoming movies to old trailers. I tend to watch movie trailers online as it is quick and easily accessed, although I enjoy seeing them at the cinema as they are suited to what I enjoy and the film I am going to see. Some websites that are easily accessed to watch movie trailers include:
Scrolling through the movie trailers on Rotten Tomatoes is easy because they're all on a single page. Just find the section you want, such as movies on Netflix, and select any image to open the trailer for that movie. I can also browse movie trailers by when the film will be in theatres and by the top-streamed movies. Sorting and filtering options let me find trailers for movies that have a particular Rotten Tomatoes score, movies in one or more specific genres, and films that are popular or that were recently added to the site.
IMDb, owned my Amazon is one of the top 100 websites in the world and is a must-visit site for anyone looking for movie trailers. The trailer section of IMDb lets me view previews of the most popular movies and locate all the recently added trailers for movies that were just released and other that are coming out soon. IMBd is a great website to find out about who played, or will play, in a movie or TV show.
Youtube is one of the best movie preview sites on the web. Movie production companies and other users can upload movie trailers to Youtube that are free for everyone to watch, after making our film opening we uploaded it onto YouTube. Although YouTube is one of the best preview sites, it's not the easiest for me, or other users to find movie trailers as they're mixed in with music videos, podcasts, news stations and more. instead, you can search for any movie trailer you want to watch.
iTunes Movie Trailers is part of Apple's website that has just movie trailers. The videos are high quality and the website is free from ads. As i use Apple on a daily basis either on my phone, laptop or TV, I get weekly updates from iTunes about new films and TV programmes that are being released. Once I have watched a film using ITunes, I get suggestions of other films I may enjoy of a similar genre, and I am able to view trailers for these films.
The FDA updated their 2020 Yearbook and added information on how audiences use specific websites such as Youtube and how important social media network sites like Twitter are. The information about how audiences use IMBD supports our opinion that is more than a database but also functions as a site that audiences use to view trailers, with Joker, Avengers Endgame and KGF Chapter 1 at the top three.
Very impressive research and analysis.
ReplyDeleteTEASER TRAILER: watching your teaser trailer left me in no doubt about the horror genre of this film, nor about the fact that I wanted to watch the whole film. Your editing combines a powerful series of images - some of them very disturbing - with a relentless razor-sharp sound track. The whole is driven by menace, such as the basement scenes with forbidding figures and hints of torture. The teaser introduces the main characters and sets the scene firmly in the boarding school institution with recognisable stereotypes like schoolgirls, matron and figures dressed in scrubs. The schoolgirl's sense of disorientation is clear and the filming of spinning ceilings and flights down stone corridors disorients the audience equally. A teaser must offer just enough to engage an audience and promise so much more, which this does, with superb confidence.

MAIN TRAILER: You and your production team, Moonlight Productions, carried out a good deal of genre research into trailer conventions as well as into horror / thriller film codes. This is evident from your final productions and from what you write about your aims to include the introduction of the main characters and narrative and the importance of creating suspense through visual codes like lighting and the pace of the editing. You also set out to establish the main enigma - the deadly secret of the Institute - though the contrast between the surface beauty of the Mansion and the secrets of its shadowy basements. Your filming captures this very vividly.
Amongst the successful shots is the opening scene with the low angle shot of the Mansion and the apprehensive upward glance of the boarding school newcomer. You have gone to a lot of trouble to create a sense of period with your location, sets, references, costumes and props. The staff come across as convincingly menacing, the school girl threatened and in flight from unnamed horrors, and the editing smoothly builds the narrative of the underbelly of sinister activity below stairs, with the soundtrack a strong part of the sense of threat. It builds towards a spine-chilling climax without giving anything away. As a trailer, it ticks all the boxes, with confident use of genre conventions such as fast-paced editing, inter-titles, release date, production company and film title.
