Textual Analysis

One of the film trailers I am going to deconstruct is 'IT'. As my film trailer is going to be based on a clown I believe that this trailer would be the most rewarding trailer to analyse to understand the meaning of the mise en scene and look closely at the camera shots and angles that i can include in my trailer to create the best effect for the viewer.

Stephen King, world accredited writer released his book 'IT' to be made as a film by director Tommy Lee Wallace in 1990.

I think that this film trailer is very controversial as it does not show the conventions of horror that have to be in a film trailer nowadays. If the trailer were to be re made recently, I believe that it would be much more sinister with less focus on the clown to keep Pennywise more mysterious to it's audience. However, I do think that this film trailer shows the simplicity of film and how we do not need cheesy voiceover's as the anticipation is all about what is on the screen.

I have took this aspect on board when filming and editing my film trailer as i want to make the characters as mysterious as possible. I think that film trailers are more successful when they leave thoughts in the viewers mind and keep them thinking about what is happening instead of just telling them.
