The trailers below show each case of an impractical and a practical trailer
Going back to Seven which is a trailer we have referenced and reused for several reasons.
This would be a practical trailer. The Film itself consists of a handful of main characters which would be fairly easy to accomplish with even our minimalist knowledge in trailer making. The setting stays in the same city which is easily accomplished with a low budget. There are no explosions in this trailer which also makes it practical since we don't have the software or a Pyro-technician on standby to create that special effect. There are a few gunshots in this trailer. Which are really easy to recreate, all we need is a fake gun and a gunshot sound effect to go over the footage. Not only that but it doesn't use complicated shot types such as crane shots etc making it quite easy to recreate some of the shots that this trailer has.
This trailer for the Dark Knight Rises is very impractical for a crime trailer. One of the main reasons for this is the shot types used. Within approximately the first 30 seconds of the trailer, more than 3 crane shots were used. This trailer had a massive budget and amazing special effects. They destroyed bridges, football fields etc. Even with the use of a green screen it is seriously unlikely that we could recreate anything near that quality simply due to a lack of a budget to spend on the software required to create it. A large amount of real film companies would struggle to make this kind of film. I can almost guarantee that an independent film company hasn't made anything of this standard without at least help with the budget.
