3. Film trailers
• Used in the film industry
since the first trailer was
produced in 1914 for a Charlie
Chaplin film.
• Fowles (2011) explains that
film trailers are,
"...quite short and therefore go to the extremes
of their genre, for example, if the film was a
comedy, the editing would be fast paced, as
would the music, to amplify the tone of the
film, but if it was a horror the editing would
be slow and the shots de-saturated or dark."
