Dawn of the Dead (Zack Snyder, 2004) Trailer Review

Trailer Analysis
Name of Film - Dawn of the Dead
Year Released - 2004
Genre of Trailer - Action Horror
My overall review - 8/10

Brief outline of the trailer - In the trailer, we see Ana (Female surivor) leading her normal life. It starts out with a slow montage of clips of her leading a normal life which then has an immediate pace change when all the action breaks out. Throughout the rest of the trailer, we see some of the best moments of the film and get a slight insight into the plot, whilst leaving a lot of unanswered questions about what the outcome may be.

Positive Aspects - I liked the piece where the film appeared to pause, break down and then burn. This is because it gives us a look into what this film symbolises about society and how it is broken down through this outbreak. Another great part is how the text titles link iin with the main film when it shows us the dawn of the day, giving links to the title. The trailer gives an insight into most of the characters and lets the audience get a slight idea into who they like and dislike.

Negative Aspects - I didn't like the fact that the slow motion on some parts seemed to make it look more dull. It didn't work for the scenes that were chosen. We also got no look into what horror was in the film, which we can see when Ana's daughter bites her husband. Throughout the trailer, we don't get as much of the plot as we could want, showing that the film hasn't been delivered to the audience as well as it could have been.
