I consider video games to be a huge part of modern media, being a highly immersive text, but regardless of my taste in games or my standpoint on them… THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A GOOD TRAILER. Despite being short, which likely helped it, this was a fun trailer to watch. It showed a great amount of content without revealing too much of the product and it looked cinematically gorgeous.
Some trailers are made to confuse with mystery, some are made to seem intriguing, some are made to be funny, somber, aggressive, fun. This trailer was made to be exciting. (And it’s always fun to have trailers that are cut in time with their accompanying music, I love that, particularly when the music is purposely MADE fort he trailer.)
It may just be the pretty colours, flashy lights, deep tones and textures which I find subconsciously appealing, like war based Candy Crush, but I’ll be damned if I say that I didn’t enjoy this trailer.
