Creating a trailer for Thirsty was a very enjoyable process and was something completely new for me as I'd never made a trailer before. I wanted a trailer that really pumped people up to watch the film and to carry through the silly irreverent vibe of the film. I thought about going the route of most trailers which somewhat outline the plot of a film but the plot for my film is very minimal and to me thats not the selling point of the film. Something that I had been focussing on was creating lots of silly and differentiating faces of the main character across the film. I figured this would be a great thing to show off to the audience.
When thinking about how to show off the faces of the film I went back to the point of wanting to pump up audiences to make them excited to see the film so I decided to go for a classic thriller style cut which I thought would add comedic value to the trailer. Although normally trailers seem to stick to their own genre so the audience know what they are watching straight away the exaggerated cartoon style of my film is so polar to a thriller that I figured it would work and be pretty funny at the same time.
So far reactions to the trailer have been great the mash up of comedy juxtaposed with a thriller cut seem to make people laugh a lot whilst also pumping them up to watch my film.
Here is an extra silly cut of a trailer mostly for personal use rather than release. (The ultimate film trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
