Most of the movie trailers I see are the ones on t.v. They usually air for about 30 seconds. That's how I find out about new movies. It's hard to find the movie trailers online that are only 30 seconds long. I did find the Hunger Games 31 second movie trailer on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr-ei1EJjns I am making a 30 second original movie trailer, so I am researching other movie trailers to get inspiration.
The longest scene was the very first one that was about 3 seconds long. Most of the other scenes are about 1 second long and there was a few that were 2 seconds long. This is a fast paced movie trailer. At 8 seconds a tilting scene comes up that say "From the Best-Selling Epic Novels" and that shows for under 2 seconds. At 11 second there is a voice over that lasts till 17 seconds. There are 12 different cuts/scenes during that time. They show the actual guy talking at 12 seconds for about 1 second. The Hunger Games titling and logo appears at 25 seconds and lasts till 27 second. The fire in the logo is burning during that time so it's not a still shot. The release date, March 23rd shows up after the title for 3 seconds then there is a black screen and that's the end of the trailer.
The music fit well with this trailer. At 4 and 6 seconds there was a quick and dark sound that fit well with the scene. Music was playing during the rest of the movie and when someone was talking the music was turned down and when no one was talking the music was turned backed up. The transitions include none and a quick black flash. I saw the quick black flash transition used twice. The rest of the scenes didn't have any kind of transition. This movie trailer went a little quick for me. They should take out a few cuts and make other cuts a little longer. It included many different scenes and some of the scenes got lost because they weren't even up for a second. I think there are a couple of t.v. spot movie trailers for The Hunger Games. If I was seeing this trailer for the first time I don't think I would fully understand the movie. There are better 30 second movie trailers out there.
