Teaser Trailer Analysis - PROMETHEUS



The first trailer I'm analysing is the 'Prometheus' teaser. It was released in December 2011, following much speculation about the status of the film.
I really like how enigmatic the trailer is, as is expected from teaser trailers. There is barely any dialogue - the small amount that there is gets mostly distorted by static and transmition interuptions.
The imagery however is very powerful, and it's clear from the very first shot that this is of the SF genre.
The music used has a very strong impact, with it's electronic buzz and low bass sound effects. Also the howling noise makes the film seem like it will be very eerie and distressing.
The way which the title appears is exclusive to the Prometheus/Alien universe so I wouldnt consider the title of my own trailer appearing in this format.
