The next trailer that I am going to discuss is Keeping the Faith. This film was made in the year of 2000 and it stars Ben Stiller, Edward Norton and Jenna Elfman as the 3 main characters.
A basic explination of what happens in the trailer is 2 best friends meet up with their childhood best friend. The guy that wasn't told that she was coming to visit them was jealous that he wasn't the one the she had chosen to call to say she was coming. We could see this by the shot not moving on to something else as fast as it does throughout the rest of the trailer, creating an awkward silence. There is a difference in story from this one and our film idea. This is that in our story there is 1 girl that is playing 2 guys at the same time where as in the trailer above there is 1 girl that 2 best friends are interested in but she chooses 1 of them. She tells one of the characters that she is in love with the other one 2:09 mins in to the trailer and you can see that he does not exactly react well to this 2:13 mins in when he punches his friend that she has fallen for.
Although after watching this trailer you have a very good idea of things that happen, it still makes you want to go and see the film to see how they got to that finishing point, i.e. events that happen along the way, and to see how it ends as there could be a twist in the story that isn't given away in the trailer.
Finally one of the things that I have discovered when researching the films success etc I found that people were unhappy about the cast. For example in the comment area on youtube for the trailer there are people asking why someone would choose those particular actors for the roles. This made me realise how important it is for us to cast our trailer with people that can really play the roles better than anyone else we could use. If something like having the wrong people playing the parts can be such a big influence on the trailer alone then the chances are there will be less people going to see the film.
