Analysis of Teaser Trailer.

The Harry Potter Teaser Trailer.



The trailer uses the iconic Harry Potter theme tune that has been used throughout all the series' of films. This instantly draws the audience in as the connecetion between the music and the film can be made easily.  There are several fast cuts, with a mixture of close-ups and mid shots, these help to show in detail the characters which are involved. They also arrange these cuts in chronological order, starting from the first in the series of the Harry Potter and showing the journey and the story behind all of the films, which builds up the tension to that of the final film. The fades between cuts show the passing of time, this appears to happen in many trailers therefore I think this will be good to use when making the teaser trailer. The super imposed text help to reinforce the story of the film and tells the audience what is happening in the teaser trailer, it also enhances the climaxes within the films making the audience want to go see it. Teaser Trailer also shows the date of release, production company and what format the film will be found in, this gives the audience extra information about the background behind the film, this will be good to use in my own production of a teaser trailer as it will make it more professional and realistic. The mise - en - scene used in the trailer is similiar throughout all of the Harry Potter films, the use of dark cloaks, wands and mystical animals helps represent the magical world of Hogwarts, which interlinks with the colours and font used which are dark and spooky suggesting something serious is going to happen.
