Class Trailer Review (3)




Name of Film: The Pusher Trilogy
Genre of Trailer: Horror/ Crime/ Drugs
Year released: 2005
My Mark: 7/10


What happened in the trailer?
The trailer shows groups of shots, which hint towards death and sexual activity. The main dialogue seen is about drugs and what appears to be different ‘gangs’ in rivalry.

Which positive, clever or interesting aspects do you think you could include in your own trailer? What generic features are fulfilled well?
A lot of quick sequences are used which then cut to quotes on screen to collision cut and speed up the pace. These quick shots reveal a lot of sex, drugs and violence and therefore are most likely the main themes of the film but the trailer doesn’t reveal much about the plot. The rhythm of the music speeds up and slows down to match he cuts in action which makes the trailer quite dramatic.

Which aspects of the trailer did you think were unsuccessful and would put off its target audience? How is it disappointing?
Some of the quick montages are possibly too quick and could be slightly slower to be clearer of what is happening. This causes confusion to the narrative, which could also be made clearer.

What was the average score in class? Why did it receive that mark?
The average score was 8 as it compacts a lot of shots into a short and fast paced trailer, which is a genuine reflection of the films.
