Trailer Research

The Golden Compass-

Style- It had a fantasy style in its costumes and settings and is shot in a fast and exciting way.

Music- Dramatic classical music with no lyrics but an accompanying choir which fits in with the fantasy setting and genre.

Plot- From the trailer the plot seems to be that a young girl is given a compass she has to keep hidden and a woman is trying to find her because of a prophecy. Also there is some sort of battle which she wants to fight for and she is helped by a warrior polar bear.

Editing- There are many fades and cross over of scenes. Also cuts are evident in the trailer. There are voiceovers that cross scenes and the scenes are short and fast paced.

Graphics- The graphics are very up to date and are mainly shown at the end of the trailer for dramatic effect and interest of the audience to make them want to watch it. The audience can see that it is realistic and watchable.





Five events in the trailer and the questions each one raises-

  1. She gets given a clock and told to keep it secret
    • Why does she have to keep it secret and where did it come from
  2. A woman is told about a prophecy told by some witches
    • What is the prophecy and who are the witches
  3. She is stood with children behind her and spits at an army
    • Why are there children against an army and why is she spitting at them
  4. She falls of a flying ship and a woman flies after her
    • How can the woman fly and is the girl caught in time
  5. A polar bear hits another polar bear in the face
    • What is the purpose of this and what will it lead to.
