I am now going to research different 'chick flick' trailers for inspiration. I am going to use the website http://www.imdb.com/ to view the trailers. This will hopefully influence me for my own film trailer.
Mean Girls
The first trailer I am going to analyse is ‘Mean Girls’ which is an American film directed by Mark Waters in 2004. The film stars Lindsay Lohan, which is a well known American actress. I decided to analyze this film as it is a very well known ‘chick flick’ that has a lot of aspects of comedy. When thinking about a chick flick I always think of ‘Mean Girls’, ‘The Notebook’ ect. The film has inspired me in the way there is a lot of drama going on which brings comedy into the film. The trailer of the film is very enticing and full of laughter. This trailer is full of different camera shots and different scenes of the film which I think works well as the more of the film you watch the more you want to go and see the film. Each clip of different scenes didn’t drag or last to long, so I also think the timing of the trailer is good. Overall, I think the trailer is successful, Although, I do think there needs to be more sub titles on the trailer as there are only the producers and the name of the film. I think the way they have left the name of the film until the end of the trailer is conventional as people will watch the whole of the trailer to find out what the film is called.
The second trailer I have chose to analyze is ‘The Notebook’, I decided to do this as it is one of my favorite ‘chick flicks’. Even though this is a romantic ‘chick flick’ I am very inspired by the trailer. There are a lot of short clips used and different scenes in the film that get you really enticed in the film. I also like the fact there is a voice over through the trailer telling you things that are happening in the film, I think this is effective as it gives you a clue what to expect. Although, I think this trailer is really enticing and shows a lot of romance I want my trailer to consist of more comedy. I will take some aspects of the trailer to use in my own such as the camera shots and the timing between each scenes.

A Cinderella Story
I think this trailer is successful in the way it has a lot of comedy that is consisted throughout the trailer but I do think that the film trailer should be a little longer as this trailer doesn't really show the audience what the film is about, I also think the trailer feels a bit rushed. On the other hand, I like the way they have a narrator talking about the film as this helps to find out what the film is about. Also, I like the music that is played at the end of the trailer as this is a typical 'chick flick' with romantic music. I like how the film comes across really girly and I think this will attract the target audeince well.
