miss wigely trailer conventions

Train spotting trailer
At the very beginning of the trailer, the pace is extremely quick, with a non-deigetic sound of quickly paced music. The scenes are flashing from the actor to the word "PolyGram", giving indication to the audience to PolyGram, which is a major label recording company. The protagonist seems to be running at a quick pace also, showing the audience that the film may be quick/action like, where the actor and the music relate both of the paces. There is a voice over of the narrator, text appears on the screen, "'#1 Renton" showing the name/ gang name of him. The quick pace is continued, which indicates to the audience that is may be a fun film, and would make the audience feel excited and happy.
There are 4 characters, where each time a close of the characters face is shown to introduce them, along with text at the, showing the audience who they are and their name, “#1 Renton, #2 spud, #3 sick boy, #3 begble” when each of them is shown the close up of the face is paused giving the audience the chance to identify with all 4 characters. It also goes into a black and white image as it pauses.
At the very end of the trailer, the title of the film appears, flashing as if there are train lights and it also repeats on the screen twice, so that the audience is more likely to remember it, also to enhance the title of the film, they have a non deigetic sound of a train.
These trailer conventions promote the trailer to the audience as it allows them to see who the actors are without giving away the main plot; the quick pace makes the audience feel excited and makes them want to watch the film. By repeating the film title with the flashing lights, it is more likely to stick in the audiences head, with the sound of the train at the end, the audience will be more likely to associate train sounds with the film train spotting.

Slum dog millionaire
At the beginning of the trailer there are reviews if the film, which is very colourful, connoting happiness and excitement. The non deigetic music also shows this, as it is quickly paced. The scenes at the beginning also flash into one another, similar to ‘train spotting’. There is a lot more text that appears on the screen in the slum dog trailer than the other trailer too, it is more informative and gives away some of the plot, “every question brings him closer”......”to his one true love”. The non deigetic music changes from exciting to a well known song often associated with inspiration. At the very end there are more reviews for example “the Wall Street Journal”. The title is then shown followed by the directors/ producers etc.
I think that the “train spotting” trailer is more successful because it doesn’t use many of the trailer conventions, the trailer didn’t give a lot about the film away, making the audience want to watch it more as they are intrigued about what the film is about.
