One of the film trailers that I have looked at is from the newly released film Gone Girl. This trailer gives away the basic narrative of the film which suggests that a man hides the disappearance of his wife. Although I do think that the trailer is effective because it gives away the right amount of information the audience. Without watching the film you would not be completely aware of the storyline. This is effective when creating a trailer as it entices the audience to watch the rest of the film.
There is a voice over used at the beginning of the trailer, this is used to give a basic idea to the audience of what the narrative of the film is about. I think that it is effective to use a voice over as it adds to the tension as the audience watch and anticipate what is going to happen in the rest of the film. For our own film trailer I will definitely consider using a film trailer as I think that it is a useful technique to use and hooks the audience in right from the beginning.
As well as this there is a non diegetic soundtrack used throughout the film trailer, the soundtrack is constantly playing even if it is only faintly in the background whilst the actor/actress is using dialogue. I think that it is effective to use a soundtrack throughout the trailer as it keeps the audience interested and it also adds to the storyline.
This film trailer also shows the audience a wide range of characters, although it focuses particularly on the main characters. I think that it is effective to display to the audience a broad amount of characters, however focusing in on a particular character is also important as they are going to be in the majority of the film and if the audience does not like this character in the trailer they are unlikely to want to watch the rest of the film.
Overall I think that this film trailer is effective. I think that it draws the audience in from the beginning and has the ability to keep them interested throughout the trailer. As well as this, it doesn't give too much of the storyline away and therefore makes the audience more likely to want to watch the film.
