Here is the original trailer for the Wii Fit:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oNVIcMnZh4

This trailer shows the audience how you should use the console and the remotes to suit the game.

It shows the audience that there is a variety of games to play.

Also, it shows that the Wii Fit can be a fun family game.

In the trailer the people are in bright colours and all look ass though they are having fun or are benefiting from the Wii Fit.

The things which we would improve in this trailer is that there is no sound except the background music (No diajectic sound) which means that we cannot hear the people in the trailer which allows us to loose connection with them.

After a while there is not much happening, they are all doing the same thing which could get the audience thinking that the game and console could be a bit boring too.

We chose to base our trailer on the Wii Fit as it offers a wide variety ways to film our trailer.

As there are many games within the Wii Fit we can include these into our trailer so we won’t run out of any ideas for the trailer and our trailer won’t be too short.

In our trailer we can include some of the games in the Wii Fit and show the audience how the console actually works through movement.

Through our trailer we can, also, easily show that the game and console can be a fun family or independent game which will hopefully attract the audience to buy it.

Because we need to show how the game works in our trailer we need actual people so do not need to worry about imaginary scenarios E.g. COD which we would have to show the audience what you would actually see on screen which we do not have the time or budget to do so.

From looking at the original trailer here are some improvements we are going to make for our one and the ideas that we liked from the original which we will include in our trailer. When showing the sports to be played we can make the time they are showing shorter to fir more in:

We are going to include diajectic sound as well as non diajectic sound so the audience will feel more connected with the people in the trailer.

We are going to have just one family playing the game overall but have one person from that family in the room at a time playing a different game to one another. This will show the audience that there is a game for everyone and it shows that the Wii Fit doesn’t have a particular target audience so anyone can play. At the end of the trailer the whole family will get together and play the game. This will show that it can be a fun family game too.

The characters are going to wear bright comfortable looking clothes to make the game not look like a chore and this will, in turn, make a relaxing yet fun atmosphere which is what we want from this trailer.
