Introduction

Welcome to this years most thrilling, most exciting and heart racing trailer of your life. The new up coming film, 'Final Deadline' will be out in your cinemas in October 31st.
We're allowing you to see the journey of the making of 'Final Deadline' and experience the hardcore thrill just from watching the film trailer.

This is the official site of 'Final Deadline' where you will see the steps in making this trailer from the preliminary task, to the images used and our influences to of course the final piece.

Analysing a trailer





In this trailer the title is shown at the end.




This is a a significant devise which many trailers do, this is done so that it intrigues the audience and almost spell bounds them needing to know what the new film is about. Once the title 'Devil' is shown at the end it makes the trailer seem more dramatic and a must see. It's also done to build the anticipation up, all the feelings that you get from watching the trailer whether it's excitement or maybe sadness it is all then built up through seeing the title at the end which makes it more intense.


In most trailers the audience are told who is staring in the film whether it's at the beginning or at the end. This information is given to an audience because if it's an actor or actress that is really well known or if the staring actor is an audience favourite then it pulls the audience in and makes them want to see the film more. However, in this trailer they haven't shown the staring actors that appear in the film. This maybe done because they don't want that to be the reason for their selling point, they want the story to be their unique selling point instead.
In this film there isn't action in the sense that there is fighting but it's shown in a different way.............















From the music you know that the film trailer is advertising a horror built with suspense film. The music sounds quite calm, slow but high pitched which is used in a lot of horror films to make it seem more taunting. Once the action in the trailer starts the music becomes more harsh, violent as though the music is building up the tension for us.

This trailer doesn't have a voice over instead they have used words to make an effect on the audience. These are the examples of this:

Doing this provides more tension and suspense for an audience which makes it much more effective than having a voice over, which sometimes can take away the sitting on the edge of you seat feel.

The speed in the trailer varies from slow and calm to very fast and dramatic.

The information that we are given in the very last frame of the trailer suggest that the devil character is unlikely to be human, however this may not be entirely true due to other parts of the trailer. This intrigues the viewers and makes them want to watch the film to prove there sceptical theory correct.

I find that a trailer is much more gripping than a poster as it previews exciting parts from the film whereas the poster can only plant one image in ones brain. Trailers also give the viewer a preview of startling moments in the film which excite the viewer and makes them want to watch the film more than a poster would.

a) I would expect to see this trailer before horror films in the cinema as it fits with that genre and would attract the same audience.

b) I would expect to see this film trailer in the advert breaks of late night thriller program's such as 'CSI' or such like. This trailer would generally be on more later at night when adults would predominantly be awake and watching television.
