My influence was from the trailer for the popular rom-com "P.S. I Love You". A convention I used in my trailer was the use of the editting. For example, something that I feel makes the trailer feel more smooth and almost delicate is the use of the transactions between the images to the titles (in the professional trailer for example the image fades to black and then the text fades in). I used this because I believe it would give my trailer a more fluid motion and make things run more smoothly, as aposed to everything cutting rapidly.
Another convention I used was the use of close-ups. In the P.S. I Love You trailer, there are alot of close ups on Hilary Swanks character and Gerard Butler (either together in the same shot or seperatly). This I think gives the trailer a more personal feel and allows the audience to connect with them and recognise them as the main characters, and in turn making them want to see the film. I used this in my trailer to have the same impact on the audience, by using mostly close-ups of Alex Simpson and Oliver Gyngell.
The soundtrack used is also something I was influencial to my trailer. In the professinal trailer for example, the soundtrack fits in with the mood of the images and the actions on screen to enhance the impact it should have on the audience. In my trailer I have attempted to do this by using a song that has the up-beat sections and a slower section and used it to enhance the funnier scenes and the scenes where the mood is lowered.
