Catfish Trailer Breakdown

This is the trailer from documentary following main character Nev on an technological journey as he falls in love with Facebook romance Megan, famously known as Catfish. Catfish has had a huge influence on our film, as we will be breaking down what made this documentary a worldwide success in which now is a hit show on the infamous channel MTV.

The trailer starts with contact between Nev and Megan through the telephone, showing Nev being surprised at the tone of her voice and the manor in which she speaks. Instantly this intrigues viewers by using the confusion technique forcing them to want to know what's going on. The trailer carries on by introducing both characters, although when introducing Megan it shows her almost through a computer screen to the viewers, of which fits into the storyline allowing it to become more obvious. The trailer shows their contact with each other through text messages, images and one of the main tools within the storyline, the world wide famous social networking site Facebook.  As the trailer continues we see Nevs happiness when in contact with this mysterious Megan as we are provided with some deeper information about Megan and her private life. As Nev shows off his painting of which Megan sent to him as a present. As the romance expands family are brought into this twister whirlwind through Facebook, as they are quickly named the Facebook family.

Nev expresses his feelings as he explains to the raw footage cameras that he has strong feelings for Megan and how he is starting to fall for the girl. It quickly moves on with Nev travelling, as it quickly gives off the impression he is going to meet her, due to the vivid distance between them both. As the trailer explains that all of this is raw footage, it builds up the tension of their first meeting. With quotes such as 'a shattering conclusion' it gives the ending of the trailer nd film a lot more dramatically expectations as it builds tension within the targeted audience of which makes the trailer so memorable.

We used this technique to allow our targeted audience to become clearer. We have also placed the production companies at the bottom of the poster, and specific text font was used of which will be explained in our poster breakdown posts.

Trailer Research-The Hangover

The last and final trailer I studied and researched was the worldwide comedy The Hangover starring Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha, who have become famous recognizable Hollywood actors due to the worldwide success of the film. The film was released back in 2009, and brought in  £3,193,806 in its first opening weekend within the United Kingdom. The film proved a hit across the globe, with the 4 boys, better known as the wolf pack, causing carnage before the big day as Doug ,played by Justin Bartha, takes the plunge.

The trailer starts with a large home, very well off, as the camera slowly passes it with a voice over. It then introduces us to two of the main characters, Doug and Alan, of whom are talking about Las Vegas, famously known as sin city. Alan then starts talking about the other two boys, Phil and stew, as Alan expresses his feelings about being left out. The scene then switches to Alan in his y-fronts, automatically giving the viewer the laughter and genre clearly. This is when the production companies are quickly flashed across the screen. These production companies are Warner Bros Pictures and Legendary Pictures. The next character Phil is then introduced to the audience with him and his partner are having a conversation. This then allows the viewers an insight into his geeky and whipped personality. This then carries on with a few scenes of the boys together having fun and fooling around, on what seems to be like them travelling to Vegas. "to a night we will never forget" is the next line as the boys look forward to the night ahead in sin city. The trailer then carries o with a small montage of madness of what the boys might of got up to in Vegas, which is quickly followed by a black out.

We then see the boys waking up in a total wreck of an apartment, with Phil laying flat on the floor. Scenes of the boys then carry on waking up to not only harsh reality's but harsh hangovers, with the boys trying to recollect memories of the night before of which they are struggling wit. Scenes of comedy are also thrown in, with Phil realising he's lost his tooth, the boys finding a baby and realising Phil was in the hospital last night. With the boys soon realising they're one man down, panic causing chaos breaks out as the search to find missing man Doug begins. As the boys trail the movements from last night, they find out various different funny moments of which they caused within sin city but also landing themselves into various different sticky situations in which the viewers will find funny. This carries on throughout the trailer as we see the boys in various different and wild situations as the countdown to the wedding is ticking. Once Mike Tyson makes an appearance on the trailer, it intrigues and excites the viewers towards the wildness of the film and what the boys got up to in Vegas.

Overall, the trailer satisfies and excites the targeted audience and allows them to be excited for the release of the film. The trailer clearly fulfils the conventions of the comedy genre and fills the trailer with mad weird stuff of which the target audience would find funny.

Poster Draft 1

This is the first draft of the poster which was created by the production team to broaden the target audience. We created various different posters in order to see which one was best suited towards our film and which poster would attract the most potential viewers towards our film. The poster consists of a draft tag line do you really know?, intriguing the viewers into what may be 'Behind the screen'. We also felt that this poster left the genre wide open, also adding confusion to the viewer intruiging them into the film.
