- A trailer can usually be recognised with how it uses clips from the whole film, as well as cut sound from some scenes throughout the film to help summarise the plot within a small amount of time.
- A trailer (like Gravity, for example) would try to reveal as little as possible about the film, but still intrigue the viewers.
- May have the companies associated with the production of the film come up quickly at the start, and then straight in to film footage. It may also have the name of the directors and the main actor of the cast read out by a booming voice, and will show credits of the film in quick flashes at the end after revealing the title.
Opening sequence
- Opening sequence credits would include: The Production Company, the "Main" actor, title, and some of the important people who worked on it.
- Informs the audience of context, usually films that do not do this try to build tension with this technique
- It can set the genre
- Immerses the viewer
- Introduces some character archetypes
To assess a film opening, eight specific things can be analysed
- Genre
- Narrative
- Character
- Atmosphere
- Themes
- Setting
- Sound
- Titles (integrated and personal)
