Part of the brief that I was given for my film trailer was to be between one minute thirty and three minutes.Therefore I have done some reason into existing institutions that produce a film trailer.
A film trailer should be between those two certain times, and the reason for this is that this is the best amount of time to give to show what the audience needs to know for the film, and what should know for the film. If you have the trailer any shorter you will give to little away and they won't understand what the film is about, and if the trailer is too long then you will give to much away, thus the target audience might not see the film as they can presume what will happen from the trailer.
This is a list of the films that Blumhouse Productions have produced. As you can see there is a lot of successful films there and a few of my inspirations are there, such as Paranormal Activity and The Purge, and they have produced not just one of them but all of the sequels. So I could use this production company to go along with my film trailer.
This is a list of the films that Rouge Film Production company have produced. There are not as many films compared to Blumhouse Productions, so in that sense there are not as good to use compared to them. On the other hand I could use more than one production company so I might use this company as well
In fact I have came to the conclusion that I will use both these production companies in my film trailer, therefore I will need to put the logos that they both use in my trailer, website and my poster.
Be careful what you say about the length of trailers - some teaser trailers are only 10 seconds long.
