Title cards• I may have 2 or 3 title cards in my trailer, with the names
of the actors. This is because in the three trailers I analysed they all had a title card or voice over saying who the more established actors if the film are.
The name card from “Taken.”
End of the trailer• At the end of my trailer I will have the title of my movie as
this is when the title of a movie always shows up at the end of the trailer. This is also where I will show the apparent release date of my film to make my trailer look professional.
• Between these I may also have a title card which says something to create suspense as this sometimes happens at the end of thriller trailers.
