TWILIGHT

 The trailer starts with a note that the movie has been approved for “All Audience” it shows that it is a PG-13 movie which means that children under 13 would need parental guidance to watch it.

The Twilight saga is biased on the a famous novel by Stephanie Meyer. This is its first part. The movie was released on the 30^th of November, 2008. It is a Summit Entertainment Film. The genre is of fantasy and romance. It is more of a chick flick but guys around the globe are also crazy about it. It is directed by Catherine Hardwick.

The trailer begins with a master shot, catching the audiences attention. The view of a valley can be seen. The background music creates suspicion amongst the viewers. The weather shown is cold. Another long shot is shown of a car park at the high school. Students carrying their bags are shown. The school is shown where Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattison) study. A mid shot of Bella is shown as she goes towards her truck. The trailer includes text like “nothing will be the same” which again grabbed my attention as a viewer. In another quick shots Edward Cullen is shown noticing Bella Swan in the car park in a point of view shot. In another mid shot a car, roughly being driven by a high school student is shown and the situation became intense as it was about to hit Bella. Edward in another mid shot quickly grabs Bella, pushing the truck away with his other hand. WOHOO, this was surely an “AWWW” moment for the girls out there. Being the audience it did touch my heart too. The very next shot was a wide shot where Bella’s fellow students rushed towards her to know investigate whether was she fine or not.

Further more the trailer shows how Bella and Edward get to be close. Various, birds eye view, mid shots, long shots and Master shots are shown. The viewers generally get an idea how things roll about but the trailer keeps on attracting the audience via its shots and the slow yet suspense creating background music. The dialogue which grabbed my attention again was when Edward says “what if I’m not the hero, what if I’m the bad guy?” to Bella. It was simply amazing. His expressions were so deeply involved with the situation that one would really want to watch the whole movie wanting to know whether Edward was a bad guy or why was he calling himself the bad guy?

Gradually more characters like Edward’s Family, Bella’s Father and the dangerous Vampires are established. Vampires who are in search of Bella. Vampires who’re dangerous and MORE POWERFUL THAN EDWARD. This creates a twist for the viewers because suddenly the whole scenario changes and there is this certain curiosity that rose inside me while I was watching it, not knowing what was going to happen next. Would Bella survive or not? Would the people of Folks get to know that there are Vampires out there or will they keep on living with the fact that its just an old wives tale?

Towards the End of the trailer, Edward and Bella are shown in a full shot, dancing in a very romantic way. In a mid shot Bella is shown, scared. Edward tells her “you are my life now” and gradually the background music becomes louder. It was a terrific ending to the trailer. It starts off with a good note and ends on one too which I liked the best. Ups and Downs are shown in a very systematic order and hence in the end text saying “Twilight” appears to end the trailer.

I liked the trailer overall. It made me want to watch the movie. There was a lot of hype after the book and we, as the audience were really looking forward to watch the movie. The trailer created more excitement amongst the viewers. The SEXY vampires, beautiful Bella, the background music, the SET specially and the quick glimpses of random shots were just great!!
