Spectre:
Audience appeals of the trailer:
- Editing, for example the bombs
- Star marketing and familiarity with the franchise
- Such a British film, British spy
- Enigma was created in the trailer, mystery of the ring, action - fast cars
- Romance, classic James Bond sex scene
- Comedy
- Promises a pleasure
- IMAX exhibition (but not 3D) - It wouldn't be worth it, this is because it would distract the watcher away from the story-line and the narrative. The film is already big enough and would not need anything else to make it better really.
- Good vs. Evil, classic theme
Spectre:
- Had to be bigger than skyfall
- Big cost - 190 million dollars
- High production value trailers
- New team embedded
- Carefully released hype - 'I'd rather slash my wrists than do another Bond film' Daniel Craig, although this seems bad, no publicity is bad publicity is bad publicity because it attracts more attention to the film.
Bridget Jones Baby may not need too much advertisement because of the popularity of Bridget Jones which came out 12 years ago.
