Comparing Star Wars Trailers

After watching The Star Wars trailers for a Star Wars one and episode three, the differences in the two trailer styles are quite evident. As they were made almost 20 years apart, the differences are primarily because of the changes in styles used and the technology available.
The music used in between the different scenes shown in episode one was not very excited and was very quite. The music played in Episode three trailer was much more exciting. It gave the sensation that there was constant action occurring in the film.
In the first version, the voice over’s were by a voice not actually in a movie and was very dry voice walking about the film. In Episode three, the voices used to tell the story were voices from the film. It make the trailer much more interesting because the voices wer4e full of emotion and feeling, unlike the boring voice in the first.
Both films tried to give the impression that the movie was a fast, action paced film but episode three did a much more successful job of conveying this message. The first didn’t look all that exciting because there were constant interruptions of the scenes to cut to a blank, black screen saying star wars with only a voice. The second was a constant sequence of interesting and suspenseful scenes which did a much better job when.
It is a little hard to equally compare the two films because they were created at such different times. Episode one may have been the best technology available at the time and contained amazing technology, but watching the film in the 21st century, comparing it to one of the most successful uses of technology since, it just looks old. They both attempt the same thing, but the style of the second is much more interesting because of the changes in technology and how movies are portrayed in trailers twenty years later.
The impact that the trailer for episode three had on me was much more powerful. After watching both and given the option without watching the films, I would choose the second option because I think it looks so much more interesting and looks more like something that I would enjoy.
