Trailer analysis
The crazies 2010
The trailer for “the crazies”
shows you equilibrium at the start of the trailer which shows a nice normal
town but very quickly it changes into a town full of horrible events occurring.
I believe that the equilibrium is shown to you at the start of the trailer to
give the audience an idea of how it was when everything was normal, before
everything changes for the worse.
The sound in this trailer is
generally exaggerated sound effects like loud footsteps and the pouring of
petrol on the floor this keeps the audience engaged into the trailer.
There is also a song played
towards the end of the trailer, it is a soft and slow song which I believe has
been put on this trailer to conflict the action that is happening, what you are
seeing shouldn’t really fit with the music. The song that is played “ Michael
Andrews-Mad World” creates a sense of sadness making the audience wonder if the
town will ever be back to the way it was and it is things like this that makes
people want to see this film.
The camera shots used within
this trailer are fades and fast cuts like most horror trailers but this shows
the audience when things are serious or at a good time because generally you
will see fades at the start of the trailer when everything is at equilibrium.
The quick cuts are used to thrill the audience by seeing a few images in a
short space of time or a montage of clips. Mid way through the trailer there
are clips played that fade to black in a sequence with an alarm sounding and
this happens just before all the action and thrilling parts of the trailer kick
in, its like a breather before everything you need to see is shown.
