Crime Trailer Ideas

Crime Film

Ideas

Two Characters One is a Lonesome Character who is on his own on the run from a villainous character who could be after something such as money i think we would also incorporate a chase scene as the picture below i think that a chase scene in a film could be effective as it gets the audience interacting in the clip and make them want to see the film to know why the character is being chased and if the other character catches him what will he do and why was he chasign him in the first place.


I have picked this picture because firstly it incorporates a chase scene which is very important to the trailer i want to make but not only that they are both wearing suits which i think is the route i want to take our film down where you can tell that maybe one is a buisness man and the other is more of a gangster with a suit so you cant tell the difference between them and what role they will play in the film.

I also want to add a scene where maybe the more heroic character in the trailer is on some sort of transport in a race against time i think adding that will involve the audience as it will get them thinking will this heroic character make it in time to this destination or will the villanious character catch up to him and what will he do.

In the trailer i think we should start with some soft music then as the trailer goes on we build the music up until around half way where the music reaches a climax with a dramatic scene we then lower the music tension as the trailer finishes off.

Oceans 11

Brief Overview of Oceans 11
Ocean's Eleven is a 2001 American comedy-crime caper and remake of the 1960 Rat Pack caper film of the same name. The 2001 film was directed by Steven Soderbergh and features an ensemble cast including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Andy García, and Julia Roberts. The film was a success at the box office and with critics. Soderbergh directed two sequels, Ocean'Twelve in 2004 and Oceans Thirteen in 2007.

Analysis of Trailer

Music- throughout the trailer they have the same upbeat music i think with our film we may start more tensley .

The trailer starts off with a comedic joke in an interrogation this is effective as straight away the audience relate to that genre and know what the film is about. They also incorporate Warner Bros and Village roadshow pictures so we know straight away what companies have helped them out. The interrogation also gives a back story.

It then gets heated and the music tenses up this adds a different dimension to the film. After being released from prison, Danny Ocean George Clooney breaks parole and travels to Los Angeles to meet up with his former partner in crime and close friend Rusty Ryan Brad Pitt to propose a scheme he has in mind. The two go to Las Vegas to pitch the plan to wealthy friend and former casino owner Reuben Tishkoff Elliott Gould. The plan consists of simultaneously robbing the Bellagio,

The Mirage, and the MGM Grand casinos. Reuben's familiarity with casino security makes him very reluctant to get involved, but when he begins to think of it as a good way to get back at his rival, Terry Benedict Andy García, who owns all three casinos, Reuben agrees to finance the operation. Because the casinos are required by the Nevada Gaming Commission to have enough cash on hand to cover all their patrons' bets, the three predict that, on the upcoming night of a highly anticipated boxing match, the Bellagio vault will contain more than $150 million

Oceans 12 Trailer Analysis

This is the trailer for the film oceans 12:

• The red writing reminds the audience of the previous installment of the film.
• Brad Pitt gets a call a call from a character in the previous film who the crew robbed from. this gives the audience an idea as to what the story line will be about.
• Within the film there are many unique selling points as there is an a list cast which includes the likes of George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
• the phone call and the ransom is serious as Pitt's car explodes.
• When Pitt is on the phone the camera is filmin over the shoulder

Killing Them Softly Poster Review

This is the poster for the film Killing Them Softly:

• Again white bold writing on the black background following all the conventions of crime posters.
• Brad Pitt is clearly the main selling point as he is the only character on the poster and his name is above the others by the film title.
• No film release date for the film.
• the gun indicates the film genre.
• Names of the other actors underneath the character.
• Cannes film festival award recognition on the film poster which could indicate to the audience how good the film is. Cannes is a globally recognised film festival.

Get Carter Poster

This is the film poster for the British Gangster film Get Carter:

• The main character is the main focal point on the trailer.
• There is again white bold writing on the dark background like I mentioned earlier on about the conventions of crime film posters.
• Michael Caine in his prime is the only one name mentioned on the poster so he is most likely the main selling point.
• Another indicator about the genre of the film is that Michael Caine is holding a huge gun.
• There are pictures of scenes from the film, these give the audience what kind of scenes are in the film.
• Caine is all suited up, suiting the gangster theme of the film
• No release date mentioned.

Trailer Ideas

For my trailer this year I will be working with Conor Redmond, our genre is going to be crime/theft type film that follows such films as the oceans 11,12,13. Within our trailer we will try to make it similar to the conventions of the oceans films trailers, as they gained critical acclamation globally. We have looked at these trailers already and we have noted some of the conventions that these trailers follow. Will need to have plenty of action scenes such as fights and chases, there will most likely be very little gun fights as there isn't much of those in this series of films. All that we know is that there will be some kind of ransom that this pair of professional thieves have to pay of off and they will pull a major robbery that will give them the money to pay it off. Another thing I noticed in the trailers is that there were some funny punchlines in the trailer which my self and Conor will most likely try and add into our trailer.

Drive poster Analysis

this is the poster for the film Drive:

• the film follows most crime film posters as there is a dark background with the white title, this is a convention that most crime films will follow.
• A quote from a critic at the top of the film which really compliments the film.
• the neon pink titles and the clothing on the Ryan Gosling is very retro which perhaps tells the audience when the film is set.
• the is a slogan underneath the title which is very short and punchy, and memorable.
• awards it has won at the cannes film festival, the film festival is a very prestigious event.
• Ryan Gosling is clearly the unique selling point of this film as he is the only figure on the poster his name is also the onlyone there as well.
