Conventions to Follow

Although I have talked about what the various conventions in film, I have yet to discuss what conventions that I hope our film will follow and utilise. As the film we have chosen to do is an action film, it has elements of a psychological thriller. There will be fight scenes featured in our trailer, but they will not be a long one, rather we will show small segments of the fight scene, such as a punch before going back to an interview. This would follow the fast pacing of other trailers. Many thriller trailers include the quick cuts from fast paced clip to longer, slower paced scenes. An example of this actually includes the trailer form the film Smiley. This, however, is just a typical horror film, but the way some of the cuts are done, and also the way that Keith David acts, is very similar to how we want our film trailer to go.
