Eyetrip trailer

http://vimeo.com/12966778

This is a video trailer for the film 'Eyetrip'. It's made by a production company called 'Level 1' they are the biggest skiing company for producing freestyle skiing films. This was realised on September 10th 2010 and was premiered on that day in Denver.
There were 4 things i looked at while watching this to analysis it, they were Sound, Editing, Mise en scene and Camera shots and angles.

Eye trip starts of with some very cinematic shots; they are shots of the scenery. Nearly all the shots are time lapses and they pan across. All the skiers seam to be looking up at the sky, the time lapses are the entire sky too with the clouds moving among the mountains. There is an ambient music with voiceovers of the skiers of how they’re feeling. This effect makes it seam mystical.

The first music fades out to a shot of the first skiing you see. No music comes on till after this shot. The only sound you hear is the raw clip sound. This shot fades out then all then skiing start with the music. The music is very up tempo and has a beat which the clips go along with. They have jump shots which fit in with the music. I like this a lot, it works and shows great editing. The angles they use to shoot it are very dramatic but they work well, they also have some normal shots. They link up the shots very well so you can see the same trick in 2 different viewpoints. For some of the shots they have an audience reaction to make it have a different feel. In this trailer there is a good balance between rails and kicker. It ends with the name of the video, the sponsors, the skiers, the filmers and editors. It is a good animation to end with.

This trailer is very professionally made. It does it purpose which is advertise a film well and makes me want to buy it. It also has advertisements in the video for companies who sponsors the skiers. This makes people wanting to buy the brands as their favourite skier skis on them. The companies pay the production company to highlight there brand. It does effect sales and the people who ride in the film as the sponsors will try to push the production company to get them shots in the film.

  1. I love this video. I think you would really benefit from recording a voice-over and laying it on top of the original video. This will obviously save you time in terms of writing and will be much more visually pleasing.
