Game Trailer Research

Halo 4.

This is the live action / computer graphics trailer of the game Halo 4. I chose to research this trialer because i am a huge fan of the franchise and also love the amount of production value that is in the trailer. The use of live action makes the trailer seem more like a movie than anything. This makes it have more of an epic feel and males you believe it could be real. The trailer itself keeps you hooked because it takes a look at the past of the master chiefs life, these are things that you have not seen before in the games, so you expect this to be a feature in the game. Apart from the obviously outstanding graphics in the trailer, the action sequences keep you entertained as they show off some of the new weapons and combat skills.

This is the trailer Assassins Creed Brotherhood. The reason i chose this one is not for the movie like quality, but more the sounds track. The reason the background track is so good is that it flows with the movement of Ezio. Every step he takes there is a massive roar from different instruments. This make the trailer feel really epic. The build up of the music sets up a scene just before a battle happens. Then after a charge and a quite cut, the music builds up again and then ends quickly. These elements really keep your attention.

This is a cinematic trailer of the new game Angry birds: Star Wars. The reason i picked this trailer was because i really liked the character transformations. Angry birds is a very well known game on android and iPhone, and the characters which are birds, are very recognisable.  So the developers have had to put them into another story which also exists, and still make them just as recognisable. I think that they have done a great job in representing their original characters in a new setting, you can also see the introduction of new characters in the game. Giving the audience something interesting to look forward to.
