Getting the basics down

First lesson back and we're researching the film industry and how to create trailers. We have also watched work from the students last year to help inspire us and give us a target to aspire to.

I have been looking at the different genres of films, and conventions of certain genres. See attachment for spider diagram.

I also watched some film trailers from YouTube. I have added links to the trailers i liked certain features of.

I really liked this trailer of Gothika, a horror film, because the text was incorporated in to the trailer with out disturbing their voice over which i don't want to do in my trailer if i can help it. Also the text on screen and the short takes are features of the video i want to incorporate if possible and if it suits the conventions of the trailer.

This trailer of the Bounty Hunter is a good trailer, in my opinion, because it uses lengthy takes from the film to explain the film instead of a simple voice over. However i didn't like the titles of the director and cast popping up between scenes, i would like them to all be shown at either the bigging or the end.
