Name of Film: Dawn of the Dead
Year Released: 2004
Genre Of Trailer : Horror
The trailer shows what is about to happen in the film with a
calm evening in a small American town and then when the sun rises, the world
has been taken over by zombies and only a few humans have survived. The trailer
shows the main characters in the film and also loads of shots of the zombies to
emphasise how important the zombies are in the movie.
The positive aspects about this trailer is that it starts
with a slow build up to get across to the audience who the final girl is in the
film. Quick montage is also used to emphasise the panic of the zombies
attacking. The trailer also shows most of the main characters in the film, but
doesn’t reveal much about them so the audience has to watch the film to find
out more about the characters.
The negative aspects about this trailer is that too much of
the plot is given away, so when people watch the film they will know roughly
what is about to happen during the film. There was also not enough gore used in
the trailer and too much action so when people watch the trailer they’ll think
it is an action film and not a horror. There were also too many fades and the
font used wasn’t that great which may put off horror fans as the font may not
be horror enough to suit the target audience of the film.
The overall class average of the film was 6.5 because it was
a decent trailer but It didn’t use enough horror in the trailer so it doesn’t
come across as a horror film and it attracts the wrong sort of audience for the
film.
