Hunter Trailer (P3,M3,D3)

 

Current Animation Trends in my Game Trailer:

When creating the game trailer I ensured that the trailer used some of the techniques that have been used in other recently successful trailers.

One of the trailers I looked at was the first Skyrim trailer that was released. This Trailer didn’t contain any gameplay, and instead used a dramatic soundtrack to build suspense. This is why I ensured that my trailer contained a highly intense soundtrack that would keep the viewer’s attention and build a certain level of suspense for the audience.

Another Trailer I watched was the Monster Hunter tri ultimate trailer from 2012. In this trailer I saw a large amount of action and an emphasis on showing some of the more interesting aspects of the game, for this reason I ensured that my game trailer included a suitable amount of gameplay footage to show off some of the more interesting features about my game.

 

I also decide that instead of having just gameplay, I would show some of the features of my game via the method of digital graphics and animation. This is the reasoning behind, including a fireball animation flying across the screen, and a barrage of arrow plummeting into the ground.

 

Format:

For my trailer I have chosen a file format that allows high quality video and audio. I have chosen to use the file format QuickTime movies because it meets all the need requirements for my game trailer.

Animation Technique:

I will be using a few 2D animation techniques. I will be using mostly gameplay shots and motion graphics for my trailer. I will be using the adobe after effects to animate my trailer and Photoshop to create and images I need. adobe after effect will allow me to create a fireball by using a selection of its effects. I have also chosen after effects because I feel competent with its tools and layout.

Frame Rate:

I have chosen a frame rate of 30fps. I have chosen this because it is high enough to give a smooth viewing experience, and it isn't so high that it creates unnecessary work for me.

Audience

My trailer will be aimed at people who visit my site and who would be interested in a RPG, I believe the age of my target audience will range from around 10-18, due to the age group my trailer will be aimed at it will include a limited amount of violence and no sexual content.
