Trailer Analysis
Name of Film - Cloverfield
Year Released - 2008
Genre of Trailer - Action Horror
My overall review - 8/10
Brief outline of the trailer - In this trailer, we see our main character at his farewell party with his friends in an apartment building. The film has been done on a handheld camera which puts us in the shoes of someone at the party. As everything is going well, an apparant earthquake happens, causing everyone to move to the roof to go to the roof to see what is happening. Its at this point, that a building off in the distance explodes causing panic. As everyone moves outside, we see the head of the statue of liberty fly into a building and into the street next to where they are. At this point, everything cuts to black.
Positive Aspects - I particularly liked the fact that we can see this trough the point of view of one of the characters, giving the feeling that we are there with them. The special effects in this trailer were done very well alongside with the editing. One of the best parts would have to be the dramatic irony in the last scene where we see someone saying about how amazing this night will be, after we have seen all of this happen.
Negative Aspects - Some of the points I didn't like in this trailer are that it gave no real insight into the plot, we didnt even get told the title of the film so it leaves the audience questioning even though we're given a date and that there wasn't any horror shown at all.
