Youtube video of Teaser Trailer

 

The teaser opens with the soundtrack over the production company logo, with a non diegetic sound of the main character speaking after the music pauses, and he is saying ‘ it exploded upon the American culture like an atomic bomb, started in Hollywood and made its way East in no time, everyone was doing it, I mean everyone.’ Then we hear a clip from the actual film where a character says ‘I can’t feel my face’ then the main character says life passes by as most people make grand plans for it, waiting was never my strong signal’’ ‘freeze’’ ’I guess I went too far’’ Johnny Depp’s name appears on screen on ending titles of the film followed by the production company..

This teaser trailer is excellent because there is lots of editing throughout the whole trailer we see shots on screen that show us more than one frame, but the main one in the middle always has a shot of the main character, this trailer might have helped selling the film because it has a voice over it of the main character who is well known talking about the film and introducing what movie genre it is and he is pretty much saying this is me and this is what happened. The lively music added to the trailer was done to give a happy vibe to this and it makes the lifestyle seem wild and fun.

Also we see the ups and downs by seeing the main charecter in the middle frame all the time and everything else is sort of just happening around him except the shot of the police saying freeze they fill all the three squares on the screen making the main charecter look trapped and saying there is no escaping from the police.

I was thinking to just do a voice-over but now I have decided to mix it up a little and have both, a voice over and a soundtrack playing during the trailer at some point. I was thinking to have the main character listening to his headphones and when he pulls them out this song stops playing, then later on in the trailer I have the chorus playing, 'be true to yourself' is what it says and as I am thinking about doing a film based on a true story this fits in perfectly and the name of the film might be called 'Being True' as the soundtrack states and because it goes with it and the movie genre I am thinking of doing I think I have found the right soundtrack, now I just need to ask for permission and then go on to start using this track for the editing of my trailer. the diegetic sound is going to be the soundtrack and the non diegetic is going to be the narrator talking over the trailer.
