Analysing Film Trailers

Frozen
This film is an animation/adventure. The film is about two sisters and one of them (Elsa) has icy powers to change everywhere in the kingdom to ice and snow. They meet a funny snowman on the way to help find their sister Elsa. This film is mainly set in their kingdom but is also filmed on their race to find the character Elsa.Three of the main characters are Kristoof (voiced by Glee Johnathan Groff), Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) and the snowman named Olaf (voiced by Josh Gad). The voice over in the trailer is very effective and matches the theme of the film well. The voice is quite deep which also matches the film as they are on a mission to find someone. The pacing of the film trailer goes from medium pace to fast as they live normal lives at the beginning then something happens and they have to leave and go on a mission to save things. The on-screen graphics of this film trailer is very detailed as the trailer explains what the film is about but doesn't reveal too much. There is lots of editing as it is an animation. The music goes really well with the trailer as it is adventurous and works well with what happens in the film, like sudden movement or change of scene.




Paranormal Activity 4
This film is a horror. The film is about two characters from the last film whose whereabouts are still unknown. A mysterious boy and his mum move to the town and the mum ends up in hospital so he goes to live with the family that lives across the road from them. After they move to the town mysterious things start to happen to the family and the town. This film is mainly set in the families home and in their town. Three of the main characters are the little mysterious boy Robbie (Bradley Allen), the girl in the family called Alex (Kathryn Newton) and the women whose whereabouts are unknown shes called Katie (Katie Featherston). There isn't really a voice over in this trailer but there is sentences describing whats happening. The pacing of this trailer is set out nicely as we see how the families are normal until the boy arrives and the pacing gets faster as there are killings and violence. Most of the on-screen graphics were revealed which is good so you understand whats happening before the violence. There are a few special effects and editing, for example the girl cant float by herself. The music is very upbeat which relates with the film.
