Movie Trailer

V for Vendetta

I watched the R-rated trailer V for Vendetta, directed by James McTeigue in 2005. In the movie, a masked character who goes by the name V, saves a girl (Natalie Portman) from the secret police and takes her on as an ally to help destroy the totalitarian government. I'm sure it is much better than I am explaining it, seeing as I've never actually watched the movie.

Even if I haven't seen the movie, the trailer really makes me want to see it. It is exemplary in the fact that it draws the audience in and makes them want to watch it. At the same time it also reveals just enough to explain some of the move, but not enough to give the plot away. While I'm sure that the director made the movie fantastic, I can't comment on how his directing is because I've only seen the trailer. The trailer only shows clips of the movie and can't accurately say how the movie is going to turn out.

What I did see, however, really drew me in. To make our dystopian trailers good we need to try and draw the audience in. We need to try and explain the premise of the of our movies without spoiling our movie idea. This might be hard seeing as we don't have the equipment to make our trailers professional looking. Paying a lot of attention to the pre-production steps is going to be very important in making our trailers good.
