Psychological, Thriller, Drama
7/10
Fight Club is about a man who never sleeps working in an everyday office, waiting for his life to change. He ends up crossing paths with a soap maker and they form an underground fight club, that turns into something else.
At first of the trailer we hear the main character narrate his life, and what it holds, it then goes to a low angle when he is sitting in his chair at work, showing us that he's weak and powerless. We then see some sort of DNA and then meet the soup maker (Tyler). All the way though the trailer we see a lot of bandages, picking out clips of the film that will make the audience understand what genre the film is. The trailer shows a lot of the characters that is in the film, so we get a rough idea what they look like and who they are, with their rough looking clothes and blood on their faces. One of the aspects I like about the trailer is that it starts of quite slow, (slow paced edits) to show the start of the characters life. When the fight club is introduced we get faster paced edits to show the tension of the film, and to make the audience want to see the film to understand more. The music they play over the trailer fits very well, as the song is about losing your mind, it makes us, (the audience) think he's an insomniac, is he imagining it.
The aspects of the trailer I didn't like or wouldn't appeal to the audience is that it doesn't sell much of the plot, we understand that office worker has a boring life and wants to change it, and then he goes to the fight club, to me I don't think we get much detail from the character and why is he the way he is. He we the main character is not all there because we see he's imagining things. Furthermore, I think it's a little too long at first and goes on for a bit, until the drama hits. I also think it makes it look like an action/crime film with the explosions and them running away.
Altogether, I gave this trailer 7/10, even though this is one of my favourite films I think it's a little slow at first, and doesn't sell the story out too much, but I think it's a honest trailer.
