Trailer 1: Starred Up (2013)
How might this trailer inspire my own?
This trailer might inspire my own in terms of its use of editing to create effective pacing, as I admire the way the durations of each shot are no more than a few seconds each, constantly keeping the audience on the edge of their seats as the tension increases. I like that the shots get faster in succession as the trailer comes closer to its end, meaning the last shot can be as high-impact as possible. This is a technique I would like to have in my own trailer, perhaps by ending the trailer with a 'punchy' or threatening last shot such as our character Anon holding a weapon. Cinematography is also a very important aspect of any trailer to me and so I would like to incorporate colour grading into my trailer. I think it will make it look more professional and attractive; it can be used to convey meaning and mood, which I think my less mainstream audience will enjoy.
Trailer 2: 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
How might this trailer inspire my own?
This trailer may inspire my own through its cinematography as I think the use of colour grading (blue hues juxtaposed with strong oranges and reds) is something that would make my trailer more striking, especially since part of my main character's costume will have bloodstains on it, although it is uncertain whether a blue tone, like 10 Cloverfield Lane uses, would be appropriate for the rest of our trailer. The element that 10 Cloverfield Lane emphasises the most is the soundtrack, as it gives subliminal messages and is dramatic, serving to raise the tension as the trailer progresses. I think using this technique and placing so much importance on the soundtrack (although not necessarily using music that has lyrics) would help massively when communicating our dark themes.
