Documentary or book trailer?



This is a book trailer of a sort but the background music is used to set the mood, as are the 3d effects.  It does have movie scene in it as well.  There is a lot to read but it moves slowly enough that there is time.  It is basically a documentary but interesting in its design.

Post Game Show Composition


I chose this video because it is short and uses a good number of resources to get its message across.  The sound is mostly the words of the individuals doing the commentary after the title screen but the sounds of the game are left in during periods when the action is shown.  Graphics are used to aid with points the commentators are making.

Using text and voice to seek funding.


An interesting ad.  I saw something similar done with a book trailer and it seem to be the relationship between the qualities if the voice and the text and the text that make it work.  I was wondering why the text us rotated and the only thing I can come up with is to keep it interesting.  The behavior of around seemed to emphasize that word and I am not sure why that choice was made.  Except for the climax was reached when both the text and her voice stopped and then it went on to feature the children's hospital that was the purpose of the ad.

A tailer for a championship



This trailer is for a championship of the multiplayer online battle arena video game called League of Legends.  There is one fairly short scene of the actual online action and that even includes screen format that is like a sports cast.  The sports cast aspect is emphasized.  The warning occupies the screen about four seconds and riot games takes up almost twice that long.  From there it builds up to the action then hits it and climaxes at the end much like a movie.

Animation in an online fundraiser


This video includes a series of animation aimed at gamers and probably hard for anyone else to understand.   It is designed to get money to fund the online show by offering a sneak peak.

An animated teaser


This is a movie is composed in order to show action and a certain level of rebellion against authorities.  Its quick pace and change of scenes reflect the first as does the choice of music.  The line up at the end goes far to accomplish the later.

A look at a pod cast trailer


Even podcast have trailers as this interesting one from sword and laser reveals.  It feels like a sports show put on by a bunch of college students while still still remaining professional.   It emphasizes the authors that will be featured in the coming season.
