Dead Man Running Teaser Trailer

">

• In 47 seconds of trailer i counted 42 visible shots. There is also a seconds worth of film that also includes a second long montage that includes about 20 shots. This requires very sophisticated editing but looks very good. Most of the explicit shots are either one or two seconds long with pure implication attached- something very important for teaser trailers
• The point of a teaser trailer is obviously to whet an audience's appetite. The inclusions of well known actors and features of a Crime thriller that the chosen audience will want to see are all put in. For example, the problem is lightly explored, lots of money is shown and black screens in between the visual action that explicitly tell you what you are watching. An example of this is 'The Player' followed by a little montage of Danny Dyer and so on. There are six of these black screens including the Title at the end. They simply serve to fill out the story and make sure the audience knows what is going on.
• Another feature that works well is the voiceover that goes over the fast paced music and the visual action. It is almost all Danny Dyer's voice that fills out the story without giving too much away, similar to the way the black screens do. The best quote is "How we gonna raise hundred grand in twenty four hours?!"
