Trailer activity sheet

Trailers are an excellent resource in the classroom as they are carefully-crafted short visual texts which act as promotional tools studios use to get audiences interested in films coming soon.

This activity sheet can be used with any trailer to help students analyse and interpret a short visual text, and  to become more active and critical viewers of media rather than just passive consumers of media through reflection on and discussion of a carefully selected series  of viewing questions. This activity sheet is invaluable to teachers as it means they do not have to prepare specific activities when they want to work with a trailer  – they just use the questions in this tried and tested activity sheet.
