WHAT I LEARNED
The Trailer Analysis proved to be a very helpful task in allowing me to not only learn about the different codes and conventions used in a trailer, but to also let me see where, when and how these codes and conventions are used and how they help to either reveal the plot/ theme of the movie to audiences, create excitement and anticipation for a movie and also to reveal the genre of the movie which then helps attract their target audience. The most important element about this task however was the fact that I was analyzing a horror trailer, this helps as I myself with a group will soon be creating our very own horror trailer so analyzing the codes and conventions for a horror trailer puts me in a good position to know what me and my group have to do to make our trailer good.
REPEAT AND VARY
However, what I found most interesting was learning about how most trailers repeat and vary the codes and conventions used to create a similar but unique product which then familiarizes audiences with the genre and type of film it is but creates excitement for its unique element. This intrigued me as it then caused me to wonder about the ways it was possible to do this and on how different trailers are successful in doing this.
