Film trailer analysis
A trailer is an attempt to sell the film to its target audience.
This advertisement shows snippets of the film the audience would fine
enjoyable. This is to show also what the film it about and the apart of the
storyline behind it. But they try to keep you interested by only showing you
part of the storyline as they do not want to give away too much.
The Blind Side 
This film is a drama similar to the film we would like to do.
From the first few seconds of the trailer we see an establishing shot that
shows who the main character doing her usual day to day life as a wife and
mother, and the music is very happy and fast. Then the music changes and we get to see the
second main character and how his life differs from that or the Tuohy family. They
show where and how the two worlds of one southern housewife and one poor
oversized, homeless and uneducated black teenager, collided.
This is one of the key elements of the story, and the scene
they use to show this is perfect as it expresses the true vulnerability of Big Mick
and the kind but stern mother Leigh Anne is. The scene is basically Big Mick
being discovered by Leigh Anne and being taken in by her and her family. The music
after that changes to a quite implicational and upbeat as we see Big Mick
blossom under Leigh Anne’s care. And we see at the end of the trailer how Leigh
Anne’s hard shell has been slightly softened by the presents of Big Mick in her
life. The trailer how ever does not include many main features of the film, as
they do not want to give too much away. The trailer is effective because you connect
with the charters.
