The Pusher Trilogy trailer review

Name of film- The Pusher Trilogy
Genre- Horror
Year released-2005
Your mark after viewing- 8/10


What happened in the trailer?
The trailer showed highlights from the 3 different The Pusher films, representing the various activities of the drug syndicate; including crime, body horror, drugs and sex. The trailer had intertitle reviews that link the 3 films together and establish to the audience critical acclaim that the trilogy has received.

What positive, clever or interesting aspects do you think you could include in your own trailer? What generic features are well fulfilled?
The trailer was clever in the respect that it was able to show highlights that represent the entire trilogy all at once that’ll also attract the target audience. The trailer is quickly paced and features mostly quick paced montages to keep the audience’s attention and so that the entire trilogy can be shown in the trailer. Linking to this, the heartbeat sounding music was fast paced too to give connotations of adrenaline and tension. The editing features match on rhythm cuts where the shot cuts in time with the music to build connotations of tension and excitement for the audience. The intertitles are reviews which show the critical acclaim and praise for the film and give the audience a representation of how good these films are to build excitement. The trailer also works well as it doesn’t give too much of the narrative away and keeps some suspense and mystery for the full film.


Which aspects of the trailer did you think were unsuccessful and would put off its target audience? How is it disappointing?
The text on the intertitles was too long and only just readable for the time it was on the screen meaning that the audience member could miss some of the text and have to pause the trailer several times, ruining its pacing. Despite the fact it withholds the narrative, it doesn’t give enough of the story to understand what is actually happening and could result in confusion. The trailer, due to trying to fit 3 films in, is too fast paced and some scenes can look like a blur as you can’t see what is happening in the scene.



What was the trailers average class score? Why did it receive that mark?
The average class score was 8/10 as the trailer doesn’t hold back on the body horror, crime, drugs and sex. This means the main aspects of the film are represented well and allows the audience to understand what the films are about.
