Trailer evaluation

The first trailer to be looked at is zero G by team 42, the theme of the trailer is science fiction/racing, the trailer features a series of spaceships racing along a futuristic race track. in the trailer there is an interesting part involving the track becoming a wire frame and switching back to a normal view, the soundtrack of the trailer is OK with the sounds for the spaceships being very effective when they fly by. The only problems with the trailer is that the title of the trailer is small in size and it might not be easily seen, also the credits looked like they were done in movie maker, overall this was an OK trailer.

The second trailer is Darkshock by team paradox, the trailer is based around the science fiction/thriller genre, the opening to the trailer is very good with the effects of the screen going fuzzy and finally going off, the rest of the trailer shows some pretty impressive 3D models, the soundtrack of the trailer is OK whilst the voice overs in it are brilliant, they sound pretty funny whilst the end scene is brilliantly done,the end credits have the feel of a movie, the only downsides to it is that the bomb at the beginning of the trailer is a big oval and that the officer Jones model does not seem to have eyes. but overall the trailer is brilliant.

The third trailer is desolate by team negative one, the theme for this trailer is mainly adventure and has a few hints of the fantasy genre. The trailer is beautifully made with the water effects looking really good, the trailer has some brilliant scenes such as the shot of a darkened rock face/valley with a fog effect, this adds a bit of atmosphere to the scene. The music also adds a bit more to the atmosphere to the trailer, the only downsides to the trailer is that they had only one piece of music playing throughout the trailer, it would be better if the music was separated by voice overs and each section had there own individual soundtracks, the trailer in conclusion is good.

The final trailer is tempest by team laserbaby, the trailer is based on the horror/mystery genre the trailer is brilliantly made with the fog effects in the later stages adding to the atmosphere, the other good feature in this trailer is the music which adds to the atmosphere making it more mysterious than first thought, and finally the last good thing about the trailer is the use of film reel effects which make it look like it was shot using an old camera. The only problem with this trailer is that in the scene with a woman pointing at the camera you can see down her arm from the palm, this could be sorted out. in all due respect this is a very good trailer.
