Analysis of Trailer for Wimbledon by Tolu

Wimbledon is a traielr by Working Titiles. It manages it manages to incorporate 4 genres into the trailer. These include drama, sport, romance and comedy. In doing this, they are able to attract a wide range of audience including comedy and romance lovers. in order to create a sucessful trailer which would attract vast audiences, we need to take into considerstion incorporating more than one genre into the trailer. There is voice over for the vast majority of the trailer. This voice basically tells the synopsis of the story enabling the audience to understand and pick up on the genereal gyst of the story. It is important that the audience are made aware of what is going on without giving the entire story away. The romantic and sporting element of the genre are put together usings very fast editing. A montage is put together switching between them playing tennis and shots of them in a loving embrace. This is a technique we might use towards the end of our trailer as it makes the audience curious as to where and how the link between tennis and their love is established durinig the film. The trailer is just over 2 minutes long and for most trailers that means that it can be difficult to sustain my interest as an audience. This has been the case with trailers that only focus on one particular genre thus making it more important for our trailer to portray more than one genre and to do so in an interesting manner with a good range of shots.

The incorporation of captions to show tell the story and show the contrast between the two players without the the use of the voice over is another effective way of getting the story across to an audience. Also these shots introduce and focuses on the two famous actors that are in the movie thus making the trailer more appealing to thier fans.

This kind of close up shot of the ball incorporated in the trailer adds a sense of reality to the sport and pace to the trailer arousing interest from the

audience. The shot of them embracing also adds incorporates the romantic genre in the trailer attracting a wider range of audience.

The sound is initally an upbeat popular music track that cuts out at times to make way for small snipets of dialougue and diagetic sounds of the tennis ball being hit. This music highlights the lighthearted, comic and romantic nature of the film.
