EVALUATION - Is our trailer postmodern?


In the other part of our media studies A level we have been studying Postmodernism, which has raised the question of whether our film teaser trailer is postmodern or not.

Our film is a 'romantic thriller' which is an example of a hybrid genre, we chose this as we thought it would appeal to a wider audience than if it was just of a romantic or thriller genre. In our trailer we show both characters reaching for knives, this links our trailer to the crime genre also.

Our trailer jumps around in time which is a postmodern characteristic - the trailer goes from the present and then jumps to the happier past this demonstrates a sort of dystopia, other postmodern films such as Blade Runner and The Matrix also show the world in a dystopian light.
