Contrasting Film Trailers



This is the trailer for the film 'The Mask' which is a comedy film. The very first thing on the trailer is the name of the production company. The trailer then dives into a description of the main characters life, narrated by a deep male voice, showing short, amusing clips of his life. There is also upbeat, orchestral music playing, enhancing the light-hearted atmosphere. The camera changes angle very quickly and frequently, focusing on the main camera shots of mid-shot, close-up, long shot and establishing shot, there is also the occasional point of view shot to show important objects like the mask. The effect of the fast change in shot is that a fast pace is created, again reflecting the light-hearted mood.
