Initial ideas

We are thinking of doing a trailer for an action genre as this will challenge us to create something exciting and engaging to a broader audience. The convention of action trailers included of weaponry being used, fight scene, long shot and close ups of explosions. The target audience for the action films would usually be aimed at males aged of young adults and middle aged, as there common interest includes these convention, so would intrigue them into watching the film.



We have taken inspiration from The Avengers and The Equilizer as these trailers creates suspense and builds tensions throughout, further engaging the target audience. These trailers both include fast paced editing and fighting scenes which are conventions of an action. They both also hold the attention of the audience so that they would want to go and see the film to find out what happens. This is usually done by the music being fast paced and usually creating tension or keeping the audience in suspense. Also the use of the actors names in these trailers allow the audience to see who is in the film and further engages them as they may have seen the films that they have previously been in and so will want to see these. In our trailer we will ensure that we have the names of the actors shown clearly so that they can be easily identified and therefore the audience will be able to notice them better.
