During our lessons, we've been exploring some inspirational aspects of existing teaser trailers as a guide for what we will produce for our own. We looked at the teasers for: The Omen, Requiem for a Dream, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Under the Skin, The Youth and Dunkirk. All of these trailers were from differing genres, but we liked many aspects of them, for example, in Dunkirk, the use of contrapuntal sound - the calming sounds of the sea against the frantic nature of the clock- builds tension without the need of a full movie orchestra. As well as this, in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, a tracking shot was split against chaotic music, reflecting the characterisation of the main character, which we found was great for portraying archetypes. Colour palettes were also very influential within all the trailers as every shot had to be considered greatly. In Under the Skin, the use of reds, blues and dull greys signify an alien presence on our world, whilst in Dunkirk, all bright colour had been stripped bare; the shimmering gold sand beaches were replaced with a sickly pale yellow against grey skies, which helps with capturing the mood and genre of that particular genre.
Based on this inspiration sheet we've decided to do the following things:
-Use of colour to portray and reflect the character's personality/(ies)
-Use of establishing shots (Insp. from Dunkirk)
-Under the skin's longer 1st shot, then a series of faster montage shots, contrast between them
-UTS and Dunkirk- using familiar sounds instead of a full soundtrack
-UTS and the use of typography.
- Girl with the dragon tattoo- loud and noisy music to fit within the genre
-GWDT- Title followed by clip of main character, could do a similar thing.
- GWDT- Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, UTS- Under the Skin
