Trailer Week

One of the key things I’ve learnt this week from working on our trailers is how crucial it is to keep the “meaty bits” in. I hadn’t noticed before how very little dead space there is in actual movie trailers. It’s helped me realise how much you need to keep the audience focused on what is occurring, meaning always use the part of a clip that has something going on, rather than footage that isn’t relevant to the overall story and will not grab the audience’s attention. This is definitely a tip that I will keep in mind when making my trailer to The Meeting.
