Example of film trailers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiTRTDAr9sk - 'Mr Bean Goes On Holiday'
This film trailer starts off with the location setting which is in France, which is shown as a peaceful place, until we see Mr Bean arriving off the train. The non diagect music, which is 'Glora Gaynor - I Will Survive', is seen to be jolly and a fast paced song which reflects on Mr Beans movements carried out as he does silly things but will also suvive. This trailer emphasis on Mr Beans stupidity which is quite humourous for the audience as he finds the simple things the hardest. We also get text on the screen which introduce Mr Beans characteristics as 'Smarter,Cooler etc..' The colours that are used on the text also emphasis on the character as they are bright, happy and vibrant.

- 'Charlie Chaplin: The Kid'
The Charlie Chaplins story of 'The Kid' is in black and white. This short clip shows the slapstick humour of the kid smashing windows and Charlie just happening to be there to fix the broken windows for a small fee. The fast pace edit is used to create it more comical for its audience.

This film was made in 1915. The trailer which is in black and white and is a silent film which has a few diagect sounds which allows the audience to feel the experience as if they were in the film too. We also see the text on the scene ("Seen by more people than any film ever produce!") which attracts the audiences attention by making it sound appealing to all audiences and makes them want to see it even more.
