Screen grabs from existing teaser trailers



All the trailers here are from Hannibal Rising, Hannibal, Red Dragon and Shutter Island                                                          

These are screen grabs from Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising. The title that says Red Dragon the trailer i like because it blends in with the background well. I also liked the tattoo they showed on the back which is a hermeneutic code because the trailer doesn't explain the meaning of the tattoo or it's purpose so my group and I can take this into account and use it in our trailer. Furthermore I like the close ups of Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal Rising where the blood is on his face because this use of cinematography clearly shows the expressions of his face which gives the audience an idea of this character or their personality which can show that he's crazy or just psychologically unstable. I like the use of the titles on Hannibal Rising trailer due to the way it creates an effect with the eye.

The use of the focus pull in the science laboratory in Hannibal Rising I liked because at that moment of the trailer someone was trapped and drowning in water so the use of the focus pull makes it seem like that he's losing life and slowly dying and his eye sight is becoming less clearer which is what the focus pull is suppose to represent.
I like the close up of Hannibal Rising while he's holding his weapon because it gives an insight of what is going to happen in this scene due to the weapon representing violence and danger.

I can apply this information that I've researched and use it in our trailer by using a hermeneutic code in the teaser trailer which limits information and makes the movie more intriguing. Furthermore we should use cinematography like focus pull to blur out the scene to make it more mysterious like the Hannibal Rising's scene. Close ups should be used in the trailer to show the clear facial expressions of the character being presented which will contribute to the atmosphere of the movie.
With the trailer titles which is a convention for trailers we must be able to use them effectively and support the trailer.
