TOW #26 Godzilla Movie Trailer

     The movie industry spends millions of dollars each year to market their movies. One of the key components in marketing a movie is a movie trailer, that can showcase what the movie is all about. Godzilla is was a franchise first introduced in Japan and is now being turned into a new movie coming out this

summer. Godzilla is movie that is often viewed by the public as something to laugh at and joke about.  The new movie is attempting to market Godzilla as a serious, heart pounding drama. The movie trailer for Godzilla uses timing and sound effects to convince the audience to some see the movie Godzilla. From the beginning of the trailer there are scenes of devastation all right after each other, but the audience only sees glimpses of what is causing all of the trouble. It is not until the final scene of the trailer that audience gets a full look at Godzilla followed by the big bold letters that spell out Godzilla. It was effective to do this because if they had shown the big Godzilla monster right away many would have been turned off due to their past experiences with Godzilla, but after the audience has been drawn in with the action scenes it builds up the credibility and suspense of the movie. The audience also has to build up suspense through the use of sound effects, or in this case the lack of effects. Throughout the trailer the audience hear clips of a high pitched screaming noise, also there are the sounds of devastation such as planes crashing, guns firing and people screaming. It is with these sounds that the audience can feel as if they are in the movie themselves. The sound sets the whole serious mood of the movie, which only helps people wan to go see it more. By the end of the trailer it easy to see who the movie is setting as the audience there are only action scenes without much substance. No one is going to watch this trailer and walk into the movie theater and expect to watch a light-hearted film, but everyone knows they will get non-stop action. Overall the trailer did solid job of showing what this movie is all about. Anyone who is an action movie watcher at heart will go see this movie.
