Trailer Research

Whilst looking for ideas for our titles, I came across a trailer that wasn't far from my intial idea for our opening titles.
Whilst the idea of different scenes of a students life - a bedroom, college, a classroom, a club etc- might not be suitable for a title, after seeing this trailer I think if done well it could work brilliantly as a trailer.


I don't think a trailer for our production would need to be as long, possibly 30 seconds-ish so we don't have to worry too much about collecting a lot of pictures, as if we had 6 on for 5 seconds (including fade in and fades between photos) that could cover the time. This would also give an insight in to the production as it would show various aspects of the students life, which is what we are trying to portray although in a mocking comedic way.
Again music would be something that needs though, as whilst the slow, calming effect of the epic landscapes works well with the slow piano music I don't think it would be suitable for our trailer. Different speeds and styles of music would have to be tested, which can easily be done if we find some scenes/images for our trailer to put together without the sound and then add different tracks to see which fits best.
