I believe this trailer depict the
novel Blankets perfectly for sever reasons. The first reason I thought it was a
good trailer for the novel is because it hits upon all the main points. It
shows a very clear depiction of what the book is all about. It gives the
viewers a little taste of what they will get out of the book. It shows the
views a glimpse of how Craig grows apart and then feels alone and needs to find
himself, it shows how through faith he finds himself as well as love and the up
and downs of it.
This really
spoke to me and saw exactly what I thought I would see in a trailer. The trailer was able to highlight the same
things I thought were the most important and stood out to me when I read the
novel. It was able to capture the same
experience that I had when reading the book. There is one thing that I would
have added to the trailer though. I would have put a question at the end of it
to intrigue the views. I would have said something like “ Does Craig find his
way through life’s troubles?” This would
have the views thinking and would make them want to read the novel.
If I were
to make a trailer like this the audience I would try and target would be teens
and young adults. The reason for this is because they are the people that can
relate to this novel the best. People at this age would be able to relate and
if would impact them the most. I would highlight the same things; growing apart,
finding your path/faith, and the ups and downs of love.
