SHORT FILM

Across the Hall (Short Film) Trailer from Gary Gimelfarb on Vimeo.

For me, the theatrical trailer is more complex and has too much of the typical 'Hollywood' mimics to understand what the film is about. It has the uneasy music which builds up tension and anticipation for the film. Also it has cross-cutting, flashing from clip to clip which also builds tension, and an atmosphere for the film. On the other hand, the short trailer version was easier to grasp the story line, and understand what the film was about in my opinion. It doesn't have the big Hollywood effects as the other did and in my opinion does not need them as I prefer this trailer. Looking at these helps me see how I will prefer to make my trailer for my short film when it comes to it and also gives me an idea with what will look good and effective and what would not.
