research for trailers

 so i did some research on movie trailers specifically ones for teenage drama and here are some of my pointers 

- showing how the MC is "different": given that our character will be considered somewhat of a loner by the end of our film we need to show in the trailer the deterioration of the character. But if we were to have the character be aloof in a sense, we'd have to emphasize what about our character that makes them stand out from other people

- depending on the genre the coloring matches: if the movie is more thriller or sad the color tones would be super cold and like blue or muted colors which I think would fit our characters and the film better. But if we wanted to start the trailers warmer to show that everything is great and okay we could do that and have the end be colder. the trailers could just grow colder as it goes on. 

- interactions between 2 characters: a lot of teenage movie trailers show a lot of interaction between a few characters: a trusted adult, a friend group, and parents are the common ones i found. Given that ourI film is centered around teenage suicide we would have more interactions between the parents and the friend group. 

- narration?: Narration is optional, you could either have it throughout the whole trailer or only have it for a part of it or none of it. I think we should play around with both I'm leaning more toward having it in the end and not having it in the beginning 

- focus on what makes the MC different: this one goes with the previous one but it's more geared to lock in/focus in on what makes the MC different. use it to our advantage. 

- the climax is short but not too revealing: pretty self-explanatory, but the actual climax itself should be suspenseful so you can't reveal too much. you do have to play on it though so after the climax it should be clear what the problem is but not too much
