When checking my emails and waiting for my storyboard animatic to upload I came across and article about movie trailers and how they can sometimes be misleading when comparing it to an actual film. Now, although I am not making an full film I have to create the illusion that I have so that the audience knows what is going on and can fill in the blanks and sort of understand what is going on.

The article talks about how people complain that all the good stuff is put in the trailer like explosions or seeing someone get shot but none of the boring walking about and talking scenes. But as the article rightly suggests how else would the companies that have created the trailer sell the film to its audience. Noone wants to sit there at the end of a movie trailer and think "What the hell have I just watched?" after seeing a full 2 minutes of a person walking around or just talking to someone. The audience want to be left asking good questions like "What happens!?".
Although you might be thinking "Well that's all that is in her current trailer (Referring to my current rough cut) just some guy walking around looking a bit lost. Where's all the action?". Well fear not because as I have pointed out the current version of the trailer is only a rough cut and nothing is set in stone. I will be making some improvements with the editing and action scene's will be in the trailer.
