Explorations into Trailers

A Trailer is a short preview of a film, it is shown in advance of the film. A trailer consists of selected shots of the funniest or the most exciting bits, the goal of the trailer is to attract the viewers attention.

These trailers give you clues and ideas what the film will be about.  The film titles and typography  help with the genre.  We associate images with different words and emotions..

I think that words and images in a trailer are as equally important but they don't always depend on each other

Why is a Trailer important

Film Title	Connotations	Typography	Connotations
Scary Movie	The title has associations to horror, something that is frightening  and you likely to feel scared about	The font is big bold red letters.	The colour red is normally related with danger anger and blood. And making the font bold could indicate how you have to act in order  to watch the film
The Princess and the Frog	It’s not normal for you to have a princess and frog  together so it makes me think of something from a fantasy genre	The font the “Princess” is in gold and it’s in italics and the “Frog” is in a gold green font.	The princess is in gold showing her high status and it’s in italics showing her elegance  the frog is green as its the literal colour of a frog and it bold showing the difference of the two characters
The Conjuring	Seeing the title will make me think that the film has something to do with magic	Serif font The font is straightforward and neat and it has a precise layout.	I think the straight forward font can play tricks with you mind because it’s simple but the film has a deeper meaning.
Burlesque	The title makes reference to dance but doesn’t tell you a lot.	Bold pink glittery letters	the colour pink is a “girly” colour which could tell you who the film is aimed at.
