Improved teaser trailer - influenced by The Time Traveller's Wife trailer




Although The Time Traveler's Wife trailer isn't a teaser trailer we still gained inspiration from it when we were looking at how to improve our original teaser trailer. We decided to look at this trailer as the genre is similar to the genres of our film (except for period drama) it is a romantic drama.

One aspect of the trailer we liked was how one location appears throughout the trailer. It appears to be a meadow that links all the scenes into the trailer. This is what we have tried to do towards the end of our trailer with the running scene and the rotating shot in the same location.

The trailer also uses two soundtracks which is what we have incorporated into our trailer. However it is slightly different on this trailer as the first soundtrack isn't music it is more of a 'twinkling' affect which ties in with the genre of magic time traveling theme.

We also gained inspiration from the way the titles are presented in The Time Traveler's trailer. The main titles are shown over a moving background. This is what we have done with a moving background of tree branches in the wind. We have also used the idea of having the actors names over an individual shot of the actors themselves.

The main part of this trailer that inspired us was one of the last scenes seen in the trailer. This is where the two main protagonists are running into each others arms. We have incorporated this kind of setup into our teaser trailer, however we have broken it up into two separate scenes and distributed them separately towards the end of the trailer.
