Comparing teaser trailers and theatrical trailers - Skyfall

I am going to analyse both the teaser and theatrical trailers for the film 'Sky fall'. I am going to be doing this in order to see if the similarities and differences between them compare to the same ones as 'Pirates of the Carribean'. 

Teaser trailer: 


Theatrical trailer



-Similarly to what I found in Pirates of the Caribbean, Skyfall's teaser trailer contains considerably less footage, than the theatrical trailer does. Again, this creates mystery for the audience and is due to producers being in the early stages of the films production. 
-Both trailers begin with the certificate for age guidance, and both end with billing/credits, release date and film production company/logos.
-The theatrical trailer enables audiences to learn more about the films plot, whereas the teaser trailer doesn't as it's a lot shorter.
-The duration of each of the trailers, match what they were in Pirates of the Carribean; teaser trailer being 1 1/2 minutes and the theatrical trailer being 2 1/2 minutes. 

Again, I will use these findings to help me accurately create my own teaser trailer.

Poster analysis introduction

I am going to conduct research and analysis towards the conventions of film posters. I have looked at five different posters from a variety of genres, in order to see if there are similarities within the conventions. This will help my understanding of the depth in film posters, thus benefitting me when I am making my own.  Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land  2) Spider Man  3) Insidious 2  4) Hangover 2  5) The Notebook 

SFX front cover analysis

This is one of the front covers from SFX magazine. SFX is a British magazine, which covers topics in the genres of popular science fictions, fantasy and horror, in different types of medias such as films, video games, comics and literature. The magazine was founded in 1995 and gets published every 4 weeks for Future PLC. The genre of the magazine can be told immediately by the 3D, silver masthead in bold. This futuristic tone has also been accompanied by a visionary dominant central image. The cover lines mention films; 'Dawn of the Apes' as well as tv shows such as 'Walking Dead', 'Super Natural' and 'Doctor Who'. All of these productions fit in with the Sci-fi genre, which SFX promotes. 

Poster analysis 1

The first film poster I am going to be analysing is La La Land as has been classified as the musical genre.  The poster conventions I found for this film were smaller images, reviews, reference to awards, film title, name of stars and star ratings. I suspect the rest of the posters I analyse to include the same conventions, despite the differing genres.
