The Princess Diaries (2001) HQ trailer

   The Princess diaries

The movie Princess Diaries is a movies directed by “Gary Marshal” who has also made fabulous famous movies like “the pretty woman” and “the runaway bride”. It is written by Meg Cabot and is a novel biased movie. Gina Wendkos  has done the screen play. The cast consists of the very fashionable, very sexy, Anne Hathway. Julie Andrews and Hector Elizondo have also portrayed their respective roles very efficiently. The movie is biased on a teenager, Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathway) who is an average teenager – sweet and a little geeky, who ends up discovering the fact that she is a princess and is the Queen’s grand daughter.

The trailer starts with a notice that this film is recommended to all audience. It has been rated as a “G” which is for general audience. The trailer consists of 2 minutes and 20 seconds which is very ideal.

The trailer starts with a point of view shot of the photographers taking pictures. I wide shot of the castle is shown with the luxury cars of the royal family. In another mid shot the door opener opens the limo’s door. The princess is sitting inside but one could not see her. This created curiosity amongst the audience. It made me want to watch the princess dressed up in her royal look.  The background music is very girly, very attractive and lively.  The overall image of the trailer tells that the movie would be a chick flick. The female audience would LOVE it. Every girl dreams of having her own fairytale and this is the one I had dreamt off *no jokes*.  

A good technique is used while the editing is done. The trailer is itself divided into two parts. One of it is where Mia is just an ordinary teenager. She is more of a nobody. On the other hand there is the other part of the trailer where she gets to know that she is the princess, being the Queens grand daughter.

In some of the mid shots, long shots, master shots Mia is shown along with her cat. In the rest of the shots she is shown with her best friends. The costumes are overall very nice. Some of them are royal where the castle an royalty is shown. Where as in the rest of the trailer, random everyday costumes are used to portray Mia’s everyday life of an ordinary “GEEKY-FASHION-DISASTER” teenager look :P

The characters are well portrayed and established. Her mother is shown as a middle classed woman by the way she dresses up, carries her self and spends her everyday life. Mia’s best friends too are shown as a middle classed geeky teenager who is very possessive about Mia as being her best friend. Mia’s grand mother on the other hand is shown to be very respectable, very decent, well maintained, well mannered woman. She has all the qualities that one would expect in a sophisticated queen would contain. She has the Diana cut. She dresses up very formally. She is never lazy and is always active.

The funny tidbits of the trailer were when Mia was shown messing up with things. Things never went smooth with her. The way she is shown breaking the glass, makes the area get on fire and eat in an ill-mannered way was hilarious. The shots are well edited in a good continuity. One could not feel the changing shots. Everything seemed so smooth. My favorite part was when Mia is groomed. The way she is taught about how to act like a princess was hilarious. Her mistakes were childish yet I loved the trailer.

The trailer was amazing. One of the best shots from the movie were combined together to form it. It was successful is targeting the audience. Good music and nice comedy has been done. I’m sure everybody is going to love the movie as the trailer has done the magic!!

Twilight - Official Trailer [HD]

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!!
