Morgan - film trailer

 The title 'Morgan' is ambiguous so there's still mystery on exactly what the films going to be about, however the audience still gets the idea that it will be orientated around once person.


The very first clip is a mysterious, shadowy figure and a loud gasp. Then there's a very dimly lit chase scene with very heavy breathing over laid. This straight away tell us the genre of the film as being a horror and/or thriller.


The unique selling point is the idea synesthetic DNA. This aspect is carefully explained in the trailer, so we know its a key aspect in the film.




The trailer stats with different clips that are set in the present. There is both chase scenes and one liners to create enigma such as 'Don't go in there'. This makes the audience curious about the film, making them want to see it. Then there is cross cutting between the present and the past. The past is given a narrative to explain how the present came about. This creates an complex narrative to the trailer, making the film seem more interesting. It also means that not too much of the film is given away as the cross cutting and mix of past, present and future makes the film too hard to completely follow an understand.




The whole trailer is made up of short clips with fade to black with a deep 'boom' sound. This creates suspense and gives a feeling of horror. At one point the camera is in a room which is facing a man looking in the room the camera is in. We see signs of danger as the window is broken. There is a sound effect of music getting louder and louder, building more and more tension, then it cuts to black and there is a boom and a black screen. There is a sound bite of some one saying 'Oh my God'.


At the very end there is a change is pace




The titles in this trailer are metal-grey writing. This gives it a modern feel and is common in sci-fi films. It also creates a cold, sinister feel to film as they are vey cool tone colours. The whole film is very dark and has a cool-tone blue filter to it. This makes the film seem dark and sinister.
