Trailer Research

Another one of my inspiration is from the film Freaky Friday as in my film the 'popular' girl and the 'geek' girl switch places. In freaky friday the mum and daughter switch places.

 

This is the trailer for it:

This film trailer is 1 minute and 16 seconds long and the title of the film comes in at 1 minute and 5 seconds so it also leaves about 10 seconds worth of footage afterwards and it shows most of the trailer before showing the title. 

Just My Luck is another film where it is like people switching places as the girl looses her luck to someone else and gets all of the other persons bad luck, they then learn to live in each others lives.

 

 This is the trailer for it:

In Just My Luck then the title of the film comes in at the end of the trailer with about 10 seconds left of footage afterwards. It shows a lot of the binary opposites from the women and man and shows what happens when it switches. The film trailer is 2 minutes and 14 seconds long.

Another film i found with a similar strap line where two people switch bodies is a movie called

'The Change Up.'

A married man with kids switches bodies with his best friend who is a known player and gets all the girls, it was made in 2011. When researching into this film i watched the following trailer.

Throughout the start of the trailer then it introduces the two separate men and shows how one is a 'family guy' and what his life is like and then the other man who is a player and shows him having a good time, contrasting each of the characters against each other, showing how different their lives are. It shows how they are different and introduces them by having writing introducing them, like having writing across the scene of 'the family guy' when introducing one of them. It then shows what film industry made it, this one being 'Universal'. It shows the main plot in the trailer of them wishing they had each others lives and then switching bodies waking up in the different body.

The title of the film comes in at 2 minutes 21 seconds and the trailer goes on for 2 minutes and 32 seconds. It does not show any of the bad things that happen in the film only funny bits and what is the main plot of them switching places.

Another film where the event of people switching bodies occurred is in a film called

'It's a Boy Girl Thing'

This film is about sworn enemies who find themselves in each others bodies, and use this to ruin each others lives.This is also a comedy, i am finding all of the films i have researched with people switching bodies are comedies. This is the trailer for this film:

I found when watching this trailer then at the start of the trailer the two had already switched places and it uses a voice over to explain what is happening of them waking up in each others beds and then going to high school. The trailer then goes on to show how they live their lives in each others bodies, showing some comedy to the film but not too much as they wouldn't want to ruin the film by showing the trailer. It tells you how the two of them will have to go through extreme lengths to fit into the place of being in each others bodies. I found that this had a lot of writing at the start of the trailer telling you what the voice over was saying like 'waking up in the wrong bed'. The trailer lasts for 2 minutes and 6 seconds and the title comes in near the end of the trailer at 1 minute 53 seconds with just over 10 seconds of footage left after the title.
