Analysis of Fatal Attraction Trailer

• Like most trailers they show you the name of the film at the end of the trailer to keep you in suspense and it also keeps you watching the trailer to find out what it is called.
• We are told who is starring in the film right at the end of the trailer along with the directors name and who is producing the film, the trailer doesn't gives you the names of the actors like most trailers do. The names are in a smaller font and are not put in your face because you don't need to be told who they are because the two main characters are well known film stars.
• We see varied action from the film, which shows the audience how the story develops.
• The music gives us some clues about the type of film it could be especially with the low strings under the spoken dialogue, creates tension because you don't know what will happen.
• The speed of the action in the trailer differs from what you would see when watching the film; the action is slow which blends in well with the music because together they create tension.
• In the very last frame of the trailer you see the names of the people who wrote and adapted the screen play, the producer and the director, all of this is in white, which stands out on the black background. Also something else stands out from the black background is the yellow writing which says 'coming soon to a cinema near you'.
• I feel that the poster and trailer are equally effective in their own way because of how they tell the audience the story. The poster is effective because you can see both the characters clearly and have the actors names above them, but what is most effective about the poster is that of how it looks like a torn photo of the pair and in the middle the text is telling the audience a hint of what the story is about.
