Research into Trailer with same genre

TWELVE trailer gaining ideas

Over the last week I have skimming the internet trying to find films that fit our genre and get ideas off them, thus to reuse them in our actual filming. Myself and Mel found this crime/drama crime film directed by Joel Schumacher. The film follows closely along the same lines as ours but has more of a darker feel to it. It follows the life of White Mike (Chace Crawford), once a wealthy, carefree teenager, now struggles to scrape out a living as a pot dealer, dealing to his former classmates. The film is similar because it follows large group of people who don’t have much control over their lives. Moreover, it is similar by showing the dark side to being wealthy and white in Manhattan, New York. The film is very stereotypical by expressing the dark drug dealer as the “evil guy”, and having the young white middle class from a private school as taken advantaged off; by the lower classes. A shot ending of the plot is that White Mike is the only one to survive and ends up living a different life in a different country. Consistently the film is clever in the way it portrays the cast and the both our film and this film are set in an urban setting, making life seem glamorous with everyone becoming rich. Also with it being set in a city means there is more likelihood meeting people and more opportunities available for story to progress into successful ending.

I have carefully taken on board the trailer and tried to take away as many ideas as possible to make ours successful, I think this trailer is very good in portraying the inside lives of the people without giving the whole story away meaning that the audience are more inclined to go and see it at the cinema. Also the trailer starts slow and progresses throughout not giving the story away, the music is all reverent to the genre and the setting, and I have taken on board this and we will do the same when it comes to editing our trailer. As well as this I think the most important aspect our trailer needs to do is, end on a high and really make the audience want to see the film.
