Use of editing in trailers

Trailers are full of editing and pick out key scenes from the film and piece them together.
Editing is crucially in trailers as it plays a huge part in gathering a potently audience for the film.
Editing includes

• fades between shots
• music
• speed of fades
• super imposed shots ( scenes with text on screen)
• dialogue

one example that uses allot of editing to get the audiences attention is "Battle L.A" It is an action film that looks at a group of US Marines that fight off aliens "cheesy i know"



   This trailer manly consists of super imposed images with text and a music sound track that creates a suspence aslong as playing action scenes and key scenes and then killing the music and ending with a shot that ends the trailer on a cliff hanger that grabs the audiences attention.

This trailer is a good example of how editing has an effect on its audience. the sound track builds up suspense and the fades get faster as well as the intencity of the scene e.g the climax is were the sound track is at its most intense and then stops and you hear the soldier breathing heavily with the alien behind him.

   The super imposed imagry aswell plays a key part in the trailer aswell as it give some of tyhe story line away but not enough to ruin the film this also acts as a hook for the auidience.
