Affilliation Trailer

Trailer Edit

This is my trailer for my short film Affiliation. There for many different purposes intended for my film. One of my main purposes was too engage the audience by the tension and the way the film is set and shot. The cuts and film shots attract the audience in different ways.  The cuts are one of the main successes of my trailer. Short cuts helped me and attracts the audience because the more cuts used and the snappy the cuts are the more tension and attraction it brings for the audience watching. Also, short and quick cuts are used so it can up the tempo of the trailer also it shows the audience a snip or two of the film. 

The genre I have decided to look at is Crime-Fiction. This is because I am interested in this genre as I love programs such as NCIS etc. Which also go for the Crime-Fiction genre. My age range for my target audience would be in my opinion 15-20-year old’s. This is because it includes violence and bad language. 

While making my trailer I had many different intensions of the audience’s feelings/emotions. I wanted to feel interest and engagement. This is because if they did not feel these emotions my trailer would be pointless. Also, I wanted the audience to feel tension and suspense. In this trailer there is definitely enough clips that imply suspense and tension. Referring back to my trailer i created suspense because of the way I created short and snappy cuts which makes the audience hang on to the trailer to the end and makes them wanted to watch the movie. Whist watching the trailer the audience are presented with a cliff hanger. This also creates suspense and tension for the audience.  

I included many different editing techniques within my trailer. I used the technique jump cut to jump from the dramatic music playing in the background to a title saying “10 Years Ago” this is dramatic for the audience as it makes them want to know what happens next. My creative purpose of this was to make it as good as possible and for everyone to enjoy the trailer and to be engaged and interested ad I believe that I have succeeded with this objective.
