Twilight Breaking Dawn Teaser Trailer

Even though this teaser trailer is only fifty seconds long it is a well edited teaser showing a short summary of the new Twilight film , it shows a range of edits and the trailer it told from 'Bella' the main character in the film's perspective, the voice over describes the plot of the film as there is no alot of text in the teaser. The trailer also has non-diegetic music which has a stereotypical eeriness to it as it relates to the eeriness of the film in the trailer.

The trailer starts with an establishing shot of the mountains to set the scene and for the audience to identify the scenery of where it is. Also the mountains relate to the vampires as the ice is cold like their skin but also setting the scene. The voice over says 'After eighteen years of being utterly ordinary' straight away the trailer informs us the way she feels about her new change as she is a vampire. A range of camera shots; mid shot, close ups and medium close ups are shown of 'Edward' touching her body to show his love and admiration for Bella and to show their similarities.

The close up of the hands also show their rings showing their marriage and commitment to each other. This also represents the passion in their relationship. The colours that they are wearing show the contrast of blue and white, the white resembles the innocence and happiness and the blue represents the tranquil and calmness, which is ironic as the trailer influences the big finish to film as being 'war like'.

The eerrie background of dark clouds reflect the non diegetic music of the synchronous theme. The Gold writing is continued as the same style and colour in the trailer, also the same fonts are used on the books, DVDs and merchandise. This makes a clear understanding to the audience; so that the audience know that the writing is the same in the film and is easily recognisable. I am going to include this idea in my trailer as my audience will be able to recognise the font. Also the font and the background presents the genre of the film and the contrast of the bold font compliments the background of the dark clouds. This also shows that the theme of this film is not a happy film, but a thriller,drama or a horror.

Overall I like the idea of doing an unusual film which 'Twilight' is, also I want to make my trailer a different film to the normal film story lines that are used often. This trailer has good edits and is quick to inform the audience of the storyline and the genre of the film my aim for my trailer is that I would like to either have a theme of having my film gene either; horror, drama or thriller as these themes appeal to me the most. Also I want my audience to know the genre in the first ten seconds of my trailer as I want it to be effective.
