A multimodal text is
something that makes meaning through a powerful combination of different modes
of communication. The format of a multimodal text includes spoken language,
moving images, music and sound effects. Trailers are an excellent example of a
multimodal text.
Trailers use a
multimodal format due to the fact that by combining these different layers of
text they are able to produce the best results possible as it has the biggest
impact on the watching audience.
We then looked at ‘Age
of Heroes’ trailer to analysis if this was true. This trailer use all the factors
of a multimodal text and in my eyes made it successful as a trailer. The spoken language used within the trailer
is dialogue for example “an elite smash and grab team” this indicates to the
audience the basic outline of the plot and what the film will be about. It also
illustrates the theme of the film. Another example from this trailer is the moving images, being soldiers with guns,
war aeroplanes and an execution. These impact the audience by giving them a
feel for what the film entails and the context of it. They also show the genre
of the movie, being action adventure. The music
used by the trailer is very dramatic and gets louder and faster like a
orchestral crescendo. By having this type of music it builds up tension and
anticipation for what is coming next and consequently wants to see the film to
find out.
