GRAPHICS INSPIRATION

This trailer demonstrates an effective use of graphics in which I would like mimic in my own trailer, as my trailer is for a low budget indie film, it is important that I show awards in the early parts of my trailer such as even the opening shot

Doing this will retain my viewers attention and capture the attention of those who have genuine interest in film and tend to watch a film due to its good reviews. It would be assumed that the production has a low budget therefore the distribution value will be low, so will partake in multiple film festivals for the purpose of being distributed around the world at the expense of the distributer. Showing that multiple awards were won demonstrates its success.

This trailer also demonstrates a style in which I would like to adopt in terms of graphics, as the credits and titles are selected purposefully for when there is a change in dynamics in the trailer. This style would be effective in my production as it would make it clear as to when the story is developing, separating the structure into sections.

More specific title sequences like these can be used to separate my trailer into sections allowing for greater development and suspense. By using phrases such as "from Oscar Winning Director" will also allow for a sense of professionalism which is vital for the success of the product.

I dont intend on using narrative graphics as I feel as though this would make the production appear less authentic and stylised and more of an attempted hollywood blockbuster. The images used in my production will not be epic enough to go with narrative graphics and will generally not suit that type of trailer.

I enjoy the way titles and graphics are used in this trailer in order to divide it into sections. Although I plan on shown gym ident at the beginning of the trailer, I would like to do something similar in my own trailer such as at 0:34 - 'A Martin Scorsese Picture' is used to sell the product as well as used to divide the structure of the trailer into sections allowing for developments in the story line. Narrative graphics are also used to do this at 1:07, 1:16 and 1:32 - however I would not like to use narrative graphics - I would instead introduce actors names or awards received from film festivals such as at 2:07.
