Cloverfield trailer analysis

Cloverfield is another film that was seen by the class that I have chosen to analyse. I chose this in comparison to the insidious trailer because unlike insidious which was a full horror, Cloverfield is more of an action, thriller and sci-fi. I think this works well in contrast because you can see how different horrors work just as well. I like the trailer for Cloverfield because starts off as there is just a party and the use of home video works really well here to add effect and make the film much more personal because it makes you feel for the people that are involved. As well I like the fact that this trailer is more of just a scene trailer without giving too much away it makes you want to know what happens in the rest of the film. Normally I feel that scene trailers can not give enough to be a good trailer but Cloverfield is one that I have found and which I have enjoyed to watch because It only gives a glimpse.
