Terminator 4: "Salvation"


Empire is a British film magazine published monthly by Bauer Consumer Media. From the first issue in July 1989, the magazine was edited by Barry McIlheney and published by Emap. Bauer purchased Emap Consumer Media in early 2008. It is the biggest selling film magazine in Britain, consistently outselling its nearest market rival Total Film and is also published in Australia, Turkey and Russia. Empire organises the annual Empire Awards. The awards are voted for by readers of the magazine.
A qoute from their website abou the issue.
We’ve got a huge feature on the entire Terminator series to this point, looking at the films, the TV show and with all-new interviews from many of the people who made it.

This issue looks as if it’s going to explore the entire Terminator mythology. I’m intrigued. Terminator Salvation hit’s theaters on May 21 and is directed by McG. The film co-stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Anton Yelchin, Moon Bloodgood, and Common.

Teaser Trailer








Teaser trailers are generally shorter version of the main trailer. The purpose of it is to “tease” the audience into being interested in movie that they will go and view the movie when it is released. They often include the film's tagline and key footage in a condensed version which is more television-friendly. The brief advertisement is usually not terribly costly to make or expensive to air on television, and it can suck viewers in, getting people hyped up about a movie months before it is released.

In this teaser we can hear a voiceover belonging to John Conner. While watching the clip I got a sense that we were listening to a broadcast or some sort of pirate radio transmission. I came to this conclusion due to the disturbance with the analogue signal, it keeps cutting out. This technique works well because it has been used as transitions between the numerous scenes used in the clip. The weak signal adds emphasis on the conflict or battle that takes place in the movie. The speed the shots have been edited together and the length of the shots are not only a convention of a teaser but they also let use know the pace the movie is likely to take due to fact
it is an action film.
