Examples of Teaser Trailers

We found these trailers of the films "Harry Brown" and "Trainspotting". These trailers are from the British film institution and so we decided to research the common traits and characteristics within this product as part of research for our own.
Looking at the trailers we found that the settings are typical British locations and the characters are middle/working class. The costumes are realistic to the average British citizen depending on the era. All the characters accents are British and commonly northern. We also found that the actors are normally unknown and not famous hollywood actors, we think this is because British film companies do not have enough money to employ famous actors.

Here are some examples of film poster for the films 'Harry Brown' and 'Trainspotting'.





The Trainspotting campaign worked very well and played a big part in making the film successful. We think this is because of the unique and simple image used. Simply, by the use of the colour orange and the big clear title of "Trainspotting" it creates a clear and simple image that is easily recognisable and remembered by the audience which helps promote the film.
Even though the poster does not give anything away about the story, the characters on hte poster give off attitude and hints at Todorov's theroy of equilibreum- disruption- new equilibreum which creates curiosity and anticipation- another factor which would help make the film successful as it creates hype about the film.
