What have I learnt?

• The MPAA/BBFC certificate is always conventionally seen first in a Film trailer because it establishes the appropriate audience age.
• Then we will see idents or company logos.
• Logos of companies are often shown quickly, with possible non-diegetic sound of the films soundtrack.
• Whilst, the idents are shown for longer, accompanied by loud and grand non-diegetic music.
• Main cast and crew members are always displayed during the trailer, normally at the beginning, placed in a certain position on a frame.
• The film title is unsurprisingly often the largest font because it needs to be known, for advertising, such as: word of mouth.
• Lastly, the typography is always stylised in coordination to the genre. In this case, Film Noir font is normally a large, bald, sans serif font.
