Pusher Trilogy- Trailer Analysis


Pusher trilogy is a crime thriller released in 2005, as a class we reviewed the trailer so that we could take both good and bad aspects on board for our own trailers. After viewing the trailer it got an average mark of 6/10. The trailer had a good use of fast montages showing people killing each other, taking drugs or being brutally beaten up. The music was by far the best part of the trailer, the sound was a simple heartbeat, edited at a fast pace to build suspension and tension. I loved the use of quotes within this particular trailer and it worked better in comparison to voice overs that many other trailers use. The quotes allowed us to create a mental image of what was going to happen, leaving us on edge and nervous for the overall outcome. The only negativity from the trailer was the fact at times the trailer was going to rapidly, losing the story line and making it hard for me to understand what was happening at particular times. From this trailer I am going to take away the importance of the music, and the affect it has on the trailer. I am also going to remember that fast montages do work well as long as they are at a reasonable speed, so that the observers don’t get lost in the process. Another aspect that could be improved was the fact the trailer lacked horror conventions and could use more to make it available to a wider audience.
