Preliminary Poster Analysis 1
The posters title 'Feast of Love' is all we need to guess the genre of the movie, that being a romance. We may say that it is not a RomCom from the images being displayed, the characters do seem to be in a state of bliss but with no hint of comdeic tendancies and from the title in which the word 'Feast' ellicits a deep emotion. Thus we can come to the conclusion that this will be a dramatic representation of different levels of love. This we can say from the layout of the poster, as each character and couple are on a different level in a horizontal way and from the tag line 'A story for anyone with an appetite for love' highlighting, this idea of different love stories. In the last image of the characters, we can see that they are in a coffee shop, this is accentutated with the tiny cup of coffee placed at the bottom of the poster next to the title. This tells the audience that coffee may be a central theme or device to the story. The casts is not lacking in stars, for Morgan Freeman's picture takes the centre stage at the top of the poster however their names are found in a rather small font right under their pictures. This leads me to believe that cast stars is not how the marketing team wants to sell their movie.
Preliminary Teaser Analysis 5
The opening music is typical of any super hero movie. The audience will assume that this is just another teaser for another movie about a man that has powers and wants to save the world, that is till the presumed protagonist takes the swan dive and does not survive. Now the audience is intrigued. The movie is a new, fresh take on super heroes, selling itself based on it's narrative. The voice over, explains to the audience how this movie will work and what our character is thinking, giving them an exclusive look into the protagonists mind. The teaser ends with a very young girl, threatening her opponent with as much cockiness as we would expect a man to have. This is very untypical to see in such a genre of action, crime and thriller.
Preliminary Teaser Analysis 4
Within such a small space of time this teaser trailer gives us so much information and ellicits so much emotion from the viewer. The decision to open up with such a close inspection of the protagonists damaged body, lets the viewer know that he is not only a central character to the plot but also the genre of the movie. As our suspicions of the characters impending doom are confirmed, we can safely say that this movie will be a heart wrenching drama. The soft, tear jerking music enhances this emotion by ten folds. The teaser has no stars to excite audiences and not even a well known production company. It's unique selling point surrounds that of the narrative, the teaser allows us a sneak peek into the complication and leaves us hungry for more.
Preliminary Teaser Analysis 3
A well loved movie by both adults and children, Toy Story 3 does not need to come up with a teaser trailer that is exaggerated or over the top. The simplicity in the teaser is what makes it so refreshing. The children that grew up with Toy Story, along with the parents that had to take them to watch it, will be excited and intrigued all by the idea of a continuation of the narrative about Woody and his friends. This is why the sketch works so well, it bring a promise of comedy, friendship and wonderful graphics. The teaser ends with all the information we need and want, a date of release.
Preliminary Teaser Analysis 2
The Sci-Fi fans of the world will be pleased with this teaser for the sequel of Tron and will gladly go watch it, if not because of curiosity then because of the graphics that new technology has allowed the film to have. The teaser opens with very eerie and mysterious music with lightening in the background that makes the viewer uneasy but also interested. With only the sound of the computer game vehicles to hear, the viewer finds themselves wanting to know more. The teaser doesn't give any information about actors or release date besides the year which adds to the element of mystery, which I believe is what the Unique Selling Point is: Mystery and Curiosity.
Preliminary Teaser Analysis 1
Megamind's teaser trailer opens with a cliched deep voice over. As the teaser continues, the viewer is surprised as this deep macho voice transforms into that of a high pitched, excited voice that is easily recognisable as Will Ferrel, this is further proved when he's name flashes across the screen. The trailer's length is only that of 47 seconds long but still manages to entice and control the audience with their comic moments and lively music. The film will sell to children solely on the adorable and affable character of Will Ferrel but it will gain the interest of teens and adults with the movie's comedic stars. These being Tina Fey, Jonah Hill and Will Ferrel and then an actor just as well known but less for his comedic skills, Brad Pitt.
