Modern Trailer Tropes

>>81516587
Bump

I kind of like this trope. It's less annoying than the Inception horn that we've only just left behind. God, Nolan/Zimmer must've gotten sick of hearing that

>>81516587
Sorry to go off topic since honestly this is kinda interesting, but goddamn fury road was so fucking great, hopefully this trend of fun, stylish action movies with some actual creativity like Fury road and john wick continues

>>81517329
We kinda replaced it with the Bass Dropping Out sound I think (Deep descending BWWWWaaahh) which is annoying but not nearly as much since you can barely hear it sometimes.

>>81517329
>>81517502
Hanz Immer is the worst """"composer"""" to ever work in Hollywood

do we have to stick to trailers?

Ritchie's quick cuts are a modern trope I guess. others started to copy

>characters dancing to nigger music that was popular 10 years ago

These two make me so physically uncomfortable I have to get up and leave the theater

>>81517566
Can you give any more examples of who's copying that?

It had a video about Edgar Wright underneath it and I know he does that but nothing else springs to mind.

>>81517669
>characters dancing to nigger music that was popular 10 years ago
I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT (insert earworm beat here)

>>81517373
No one's arguing there bud

Saw a video earlier that praised the comeback of more mid-budget non-heavy-effects stuff making a return, and that's fucking great imo. Atomic Blonde and Baby Driver are two great examples here.

>3 second mini-trailer for a movie that plays right before the trailer for the same movie

>>81518802
Supposedly that's to catch people's attention so that they don't just click away. Purely for the 5-second attention span of modern internet users.

are jamie foxx and idris elba the only negroes in cinema now?

>>81519166
them and the rock or kevin hart

I hate that thing where a trailer would be playing some ancient pop song and then whenever a joke would play, it would make some sound, stop the music, play the joke, and then resume the music.

>>81517669
>single piano key struck over and over
God that annoys me now it's in every damn trailer. High pitched key struck at an accelerating rate and then bass drop BRAAAAAAHHHHH.

Please get new musical cues trailer makers.

I really, really hate that sound.
Yea, it was cool at first I guess, but now literally every action movie trailer uses it, and its lost its effect
Kinda like that tie fighter 'JEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH' noise everyone reused over and over whenever someone fell off a cliff or something.
It seems like we get a new 'wilhelm scream' every decade or so.

The worst modern trailer trope has got to be the OOOOOOOoOoooomph sub bass pitch down used as an "epic" transition between two dramatic cuts, so fucking cheesy.

>>81517557
I am sure you know of maybe 5 soundtrack composers at max.

25+ years old trailers look laughable and dated af, regardless of how well the actual movie has aged.

my guess is, 25 years from now, nowadays trailers will look just as bad as 1990*s ones.

The absolute worst one

>>81516587
I also noticed this trope and have thought about making this thread but never got around to it.
Good thread, OP

>>81516587

Suicide Squad did that, both in some of the trailers and in the actual movie. But an indeterminate amount of the editing was done by a trailer house, so a lot of the on-the-nose music cues and BAMBAMBAM stylistic touches are pretty yeah.

Speaking of Suicide Squad, watch this remake of the trailer done by a high school film club. They use the original soundtrack and do their best recreating the shots. Decent job for a no-budget, volunteer, high school thing, but the point of watching it is to see just how fucking good the trailer was.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqQ8Riu7nrE

It's like those kids who recreated Raiders of the Lost Ark. It doesn't really look good, but it shows exactly how great the source material is.

The slow dramatic cover of a beloved pop/rock song from decades prior.

YOU GOTTA KEEP YOUR HEAD UP OH OH

A slow 'dramatic' cover of an old song that makes it 'sadder', that's really just annoying piano keys and a singer drawing out every fucking word and sentence in the lyrics
Over disjointed 'I never knew who I was...' 'What is this...' 'But how do we X...' 'I used to be Y...' 'STOP OR I'LL Z...!' fade ins/outs
Sudden dramatic rising violin over action scenes cut to drum beats increasing in tempo

Optional 'BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH' over title shot

Also optional 'surprise' of poor-CGI thing from movie 'attacking' camera followed by another cut to credits


Bonus points for comments claiming it 'looks awesome!' or 'SOOOOOO hype for this!!' when literally nothing about the movie's dramatic weight or story was presented

EXTRA bonus points for comments after said movie was released, saying 'What a piece of shit this turned out to be' or 'so disappointed this movie sucked'


Also music stopping at 20-30 seconds into a trailer so one character can quip, before resuming again. Just so you don't miss their SUPER FUNNY JOKE.

>>81516587
>What kind of things would you like to see more of or less of in trailers?
I'd like to see less of the whole fucking plot and each beat point in the movie leading up to the 3rd act spoiled

I remember when Prometheus brought in the "SCARY SIREN NOISE" for trailers.

I fucking hate the every trailer has to show you a clip of basically every single thing that happens in the movie. They don't tease or attempt to pique interest anymore, they're just like "here's the whole fuckin' thing in miniature, come spend $15 next month to see another hour-fifteen of this same shit".

That's actually how I found it. I was wondering what Michel Gondry had been up to, then started looking for the movie clips from Be Kind Rewind, then fell into a hole of Sweded clips on YouTube. That high school thing was the first, and the best I remember seeing.

That's like the inception of that trope, literally.

>>81524994
The content of that trailer is pretty good, but it can't get away from the crappy overdone editing of the film

>>81525699

He's fine, but overrated.

Instellar was pretty good, Pirates of the Carribean was great.

Horner, Williams, and Elfman are all far better though.

>>81524031
Wow.

This may be the worst trailer I've ever seen. It looks like its filmed fine but fucking hell its incomprehensible and insensible.

>>81524031
are you kidding? I wish more trailers were like that. Gets you a sense of the characters and situations without spoiling anything. I can't stand trailers nowadays because they spoil half the movie. Even if its not plot points, its significant beats and moments. I feel like half the time I'm watching a movie now I'm just waiting for the parts I remember from the trailers.

>>81524994
Pretty good trailer.

Worst bond girl though.

>>81524031
>>81527068
you'll cowards don't know shit about trailers. This guy >>81527070
gets it, it's a great trailer because it gives you an idea of mood/tone, without giving away the actual plot points. Exactly what a good trailer does.

Only dumb bit is 'The feel bad movie of Christmas'

>>81527284
Its the music that pisses me off dude.

Same music as Thor's new trailer. It has nothing to do with anything and is just more nostalgia-baiting bullshit.

If they just used some atmospheric shit to ramp up tension it'd be acceptable but it had to be some mass marketing schlock.

And anyways, giving away plot doesn't effect a movie to me. Knowing that Romeo and Juliet die in the end of the play doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

>>81527459
I mean I hate the 'cover an old song lmao' trope usually, I just think this one was well done.

Plus Romeo & Juliet is a centuries old story at this point.

>>81517373
Just watching the trailer again has made me decide to watch it again tonight. First film I've ever watched twice in a cinema and first DVD I've bought in more than five years

If I could elect one movie to be permanently screened at the cinema, even if it's just once a month, it'd be Fury Road.

His studio currently writes and produces at least half of his shit, he is actually really solid once he focuses on one project at a time. Go listen to his old stuff

>>81524339
Yeah this is ridiculously prevalent in vidya, and the song choice is always jarring as fuck. Songs like Teen Spirit work almost exclusively because of their atmosphere, a female vocalist and slow piano ruins it.

I had a friend who did these sorts of covers at open mic nights more than 5 years ago, I always remember her cover of Hey Ya because I thought it was neat, but the lyrics in it are malleable so it worked.

Lorde gets a pass though. She can do nothing wrong in my eyes

He's not a black actor. He's like 35% black and doesn't get any black roles, nor does he star in black movies.

>>81527574
I get it. To each their own. There's definitely plenty of friends I know who like 0 spoilers
.
Personally I don't care if i have the entire thing spoiled. The thing I care about is NOT giving hollywood a god damn fucking cent of my money unless the movie is guaranteed to be good.

If I reserved judgement for every movie there'd be a lot of shit movies that became successful.

And anyways, I like to try and pay attention more to technical aspects then just the story nowadays.

>>81524031
This is some fucking avant-garde shit right here. They were trying to make a statement or something.

Weird because the movie's actually pretty slow paced.

That's the hip hop montage. Aronofsky took it to the natural conclusion and gave it the catchy name, as seen in Requiem For a Dream:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eorp7hg0ZtM

As far as I know, the modern hip hop montage goes back to Fosse's movie All That Jazz from 1979. It won the Oscar for Film Editing and is pretty legendary. You can see a quick example at the beginning of this:

Is Genysis worth watching? I've watched all the others so I'll probably watch this anyway but it seems like it's gonna fuck with timelines and time travel even more than the other ones do

>>81528355
I can never understand the Gears games - they seem to have a fucktonne of lore that suggests that the humans are bastards and that they are effectively more monstrous than the Locust (ie Marcus in prison, flayed corpses, fascist government, cast members dying, Maria and Dom's story, the civilians left behind that live in the tunnels and shanty towns that hate the COG, and Marcus being emotionally exhausted by the end of the first trilogy) but then the gameplay and character design is all testosterone pumped hoo-rah military power fantasy stuff that clashes with it's smaller story beats.

>>81527459
>Its the music that pisses me off dude.

>Same music as Thor's new trailer. It has nothing to do with anything and is just more nostalgia-baiting bullshit.

Immigrant Song actually works pretty well with Ragnarok's trailer imo. It's kinda cheap but it has a vaguely mythic feel to it, keeping in tone with shit about Vikings and Gods.

Plus, the song's just really fuckin' cool.

Genuinely my pleasure. And yeah, Aronofsky called it that because he figured it was similar to the way that hip hop beats sample different sources, as the montage is made by cutting together segments of like 6-15 frames, so it's like sampling, in a way, according to Aronofsky.

Outside of the Fosse / Aronofsky / Ritchie / Wright fast-cut montage, you can see another example in the shower scene of Psycho. It's used for pretty much the same purpose: to convey something general by only focusing on the extreme details. Hitchcock used it because he couldn't show penetrating wounds or nudity. It got loads of attention in Requiem For a Dream, and that's arguably what it's most associated with. There was article after article about the frenetic editing, and "hip hop montage" came into the vernacular because Aronofsky ended up having to talk about the editing in interview after interview.

>>81528799
>Is Genysis worth watching?
Don't know, not seen it. Don't think so.

>I can never understand the Gears games
'Do not gaze too long into the abyss, lest the abyss gazes into you' or something I guess. I don't think it's meant to be some sharp satire of hoo-rah military culture like, say , Starship Troopers

>>81528948

Interesting, thanks anon

OP here

All this talk of trailers and I forgot to mention my absolute favorite of all time: The trailer for the 2011 piece of shit Battle: Los Angeles.

https://youtu.be/-Pd-uuDi28U

Now, don't get me wrong: the movie's a disappointment. But this fucking trailer...

It's completely dialogue-free, doesn't shit on you with exposition, instead trusting you to piece together what it's trying to tell you (Something weird's coming out of the sky in Los Angeles, and then shit goes paramilitary) solely through visuals. Then you got that song, which sells the fact that this is a tragedy and (on a deeper level) the fact that it's a sci-fi movie. It ends on my absolute favorite editing trope of all time, which I've only seen used once recently (in the first trailer for Dunkirk): Building up to a jumpscare or explosion or something, and...not giving it. Trailer just ends, no sound, no nothing. It robs you of a sense of certainty, and keeps you frustrated because you know SOMETHING'S gotta happen but what the fuck is it?

Anyway, apologies for the autism dump.

I'd nominate Cloverfield for a best teaser award, dodgy CGI and all. It was a mindfuck in the theater when it came on with no warning or explanation.

I absolutely loved that trailer, and I'm one of the few who loves the movie, though I'm still no fan of Snyder's.

I might be in the minority here, but I really enjoyed the first couple of trailers for Ghost In The Shell. The last one I saw before the movie came out was god awful though, it was super generic.

At least there was no pop music...

>>81517329
Nolan and Zimmer had nothing to do with the trailer. Those horns are from a completely different composer.

>>81532091

I like it in the Baby Driver trailer because thats literally how Edgar Wright edits with his sound in his films.

its masterful in Hot Fuzz

I kinda miss when there was a narrator that explained the movie. I didn't even notice that they completely stopped doing that until a few years ago because they phased it slowly out.

It happens, because consumers nowadays have less attention span than before.
They need quick, loud trailers to keep their attention from their smartphones.
I mean, can you imagine this trailer hyping anyone today?

You want bullshit in trailers? Check out the Predators trailer where Adrien "The Nose" Brody has a dozen triangle reticles on him, and in the film there aren't even that many Predators total.

Who's that cover by?

Actually didn't hate the movie, and had the discrepancy pointed out to me by an anon after the fact. One of the people behind the film defended the edit because it sold the concept of the movie or whatever, but that doesn't justify shit.

Uh, yes...?

Apart from the cheesy narration which is a product of its time, that trailer would be perfectly acceptable today.

>Brief moment of silence
>Protagonist quips
>Cut to an action scene while the music ramps up to a high pitch before a "whoom" sound effect and the title card

Wright himself jokingly admitted in one of his interviews that he copied Scorcese. It went something like
"when 'Shaun' came out a lot of people were asking if I stole my fast paced edits from Guy Ritchie, to which I always reply 'no, I stole them from Martin Scorcese, just like Guy Ritchie did"
Take what you will from that.

Immigrant Song also has the connection that Thor is literally an immigrant because Asgard has been destroyed

It was a one off thing produced by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and sung by Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Man of Steel is unironically the best trailer I've ever seen.

You can skip Youtube adverts after a few seconds. It's not really about impatience, it's about people paying zero attention to advertising.

Snyderkek pls

>>81516587
It's not really trailer specific but I remember for a brief period in the 80's VHS movies would have a big warning sign saying "THIS FEATURE FILM HAS A MUSIC SOUNDTRACK"

Like people were getting confused that there was music playing their movie and returning it because they thought someone must have recorded audio over it or something.

kek.

He's not wrong though, the first trailers for MoS were fantastic.
