I personally don't watch Thrillers because I don't enjoy the feeling of terror, but I am going to analyse two Thriller movies' trailer. Trailers are like montages of brief clips from throughout the movie.
The first trailer is from a German dubbed film called 'The Wave'.
Straight away the trailer makes you jump with a big bang to start. There is some sort of native echoey music a quite heart beat which always put an audience on edge.They have edited each quick shot to come from black and to dissolve to black, this can signify to the audience that the film is very dark.
The camera work shows some close ups and 2 people shots of characters that are obviously going to have some importance to the movie.
In between a few shots, some words appear in front of a black back round with some sort of drawing in red which you can't see the whole of yet.
5 very impacting words that appear are 'based on a true story'. These impact the audience hugely because they suddenly begin to relate to the movie, maybe some of the places of characters, and it will allow them to think its more realistic.
The sound builds the tension as you hear the marching feet and then the school bells rings repeatedly alarming the audience. The banging and bell gets louder building suspense as the audience can feel something coming.
The action of the movie builds as it becomes more violent and you see blood, the police and fighting. The speed of the shots has quickened to make it more exciting and difficult for the audience to follow exactly.
It finishes with a final buzzer and the whole red drawing of a wave. The last shot is of the male lead panting out of breath and looking around worried. If the main man is worried it cares the audience as he seemed to be a dominant leader in the trailer so the film is obviously full of terror.
