30 Days of Night/ 2007/ Action Horror
Plot:
In Alaska, there
is a certain time where there is no daylight for 30 days and it is constantly
dark, this is when a group of vampires attack the villages to feed.
What did you like about it?
In most trailers,
they start off slow and gradually build up the suspense, but this trailer did
it the other way around. At the start there is a bit where a vampire jumps through
a window, and through the use of collision cutting, it makes the audience jump
which automatically gains their attention so they have their eyes fixed on the
screen throughout the whole trailer. I really like how this was used as it is a
good way to get across the nature of the film, and it all happened within the
first 5 seconds. I also liked the text that was used in between shots. It got
across the whole film without taking up too much time or using any dialogue.
What didn’t you like about it?
I didn’t like the
editing techniques that were used because between every shot, there was a fade
to black which made the trailer seem really long and it was quite hard to focus
on the different shots as they were only on the screen for around a second so
it all looked a bit messy. I also found that the different shots added together
made the trailer rather boring and a lot of the shots were a bit unnecessary.
My Score:
5
Class Score:
7
