Diary Post 1 - Lesson on Legend trailers

• In one of our first lessons, as a class we watched and briefly analysed both the Legend teaser and theatrical trailers in note form. This was important for us to do because even if we are certain of the genre we would like our film to be, we needed to see a professionally made trailer, allowing us to see what elements we should include and which are the key concepts which make it so effective and successful as a trailer. 

• While analysing both of these trailers I have realised that both, although very different types are very effective and informative. They both manage to gain the audiences full attention and interest, making them want to further research the film and watch the film. 

• The thing I liked most in both trailers is their effective and clever placement of music and text, complimenting the scenes portrayed throughout adding tension and expanding the narrative. These are all qualities that I would like to include in my own trailer to make it interesting and gripping.
