Deconstruction

When deconstructing the "Disturbia" website we came across an interactive area called videos. This allowed us to preview many different versions of their trailer. We deconstructed three contrasting trailers to see what makes them different and which one is more effective. 

Disturbia Trailer 1)
  • Music builds towards the end
  • Editing gets faster
  • Scenes get shorter
  • Equilibrium at the start followed by the disequilibrium


Disturbia trailer 2)
  • Voice over 
  • Makes it more action than horror thriller
  • Distracts from the scene and the action


Disturbia trailer 3)
  • Pop song
  • Modernises it
  • Makes it romantic
  • More of a love story with a twist


The official trailer is effective because it builds the tension and shows the audience the genre of the film and the main characters all within the first sequence. By having alternative trailers on their website it shows how different music can portray the same events from a different light. For example each trailer contains the same images but in different orders but the one with a voice over appears like an action movie whereas the pop song sounds more like a romantic horror. This shows the importance of music and how it affects an audience’s view on the film
