Thor: Trailer Maker is 2011 web browser game designed to teach people film trailer editing skills. Players have access to a piece of very limited editing software where they can drag and drop clips from the trailer for the first Thor movie to create a short 30 second teaser for the film.
Description[]
Now that you have explored the film’s narrative, characters and genre it’s time for you to apply your knowledge in a creative task. Your challenge is to create a new teaser trailer for Thor.
A full theatrical trailer for a film, such as you might see in the cinema or online, is normally around two minutes long. Your challenge is to re-cut the two-minute Thor trailer to a thirty second ‘teaser’ focusing on a particular feature. To do this you will need to choose one of the following aspects to emphasise:
- Mystery/suspense
- Conflict/war
- Romance
- Action
- Fantasy/mythology
To ensure you appeal to your audience, you will need to choose your clips with care: but don’t forget, your teaser still needs to have its own narrative – it needs to make sense as a mini-trailer in its own right. How will you ‘sell’ the film and tell the story?
