Research and Planning: Good Examples of Film Trailers

I am going to be looking at only Rom-Com trailers as that is the genre my trailer will be.

'The Proposal' (2009)

I think this is a good example of a film trailer because it introduces you to the characters straight away and it shows you what kind of personalities they have. You can also tell that Sandra Bullocks character thinks that she is better and more important that Ryan Reynolds character. The trailer shows us the main disruption in the film which is that the female character is going to be deported back to Canada. It shows a good balance between the comedy and the romance aspects of the film, and it also introduces an all star cast, Sandra Bullock, Betty White, Ryan Reynolds.



'The Back Up Plan' (2010)

I think this is a good trailer because it introduces you to and you can clearly see who the main character is. The trailer shows you enough of the plot so you have a slight idea as to what is going to happen in the film but it leaves you feeling intrigued and wanting to know more. And like 'The Proposal' trailer it shows you a good balance of romance and comedy scenes. The trailer also shows us a couple of stars who are in the film; Melissa McCarthy who is a well known comedic actor and Jennifer Lopez who will be able to attract a wider audience because as well as acting she was a singer first so she will have more fans wanting to watch the film.
