[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgS2L7WPIO4[/media] [sp]Fucking best use of thriller, ever.[/sp] Season 2 looks fucking bombastic !

Woah.

Ok That was a fucking trailer I'm fucking hyped

holy shit

Welp, jumped from a single monster to somehow going up against a fucking [sp]ELDER GOD[/sp]

now that is how you make a fucking trailer

There's so much shit going on jesus christ the hype is real

Hope they were just cramming all of the nostalgia stuff into the trailer.

[QUOTE=Bathtub;52497274]now that is how you make a fucking trailer[/QUOTE] but it somehow still managed to fall for the "cut to black after music / scene comes to a climax. fade back in with a quiet, suspensful scene that ends with a surprise" trope

[QUOTE=NixNax123;52497333]but it somehow still managed to fall for the "cut to black after music / scene comes to a climax. fade back in with a quiet, suspensful scene that ends with a surprise" trope[/QUOTE] trailers use it because it works, just because it's overused by shittier trailers doesn't mean it's ineffective

Wait what happened to 11? I can't remember the end of the first season was she not with them?

[QUOTE=NixNax123;52497333]but it somehow still managed to fall for the "cut to black after music / scene comes to a climax. fade back in with a quiet, suspensful scene that ends with a surprise" trope[/QUOTE] Also look at all those 'rule of thirds' tropes and I mean, pfft, all those usages of color filters to set moods and create tones/thematic contrast. Just trope after trope. All those trucking scenes; so much dolly-work for smooth transitions of motion from point to point. Who do they think they are? Film-makers? They fell for the 'using shot and scene compositions that always work' meme/trope!

What's great about the trailer is that it shows a ton of stuff but tells you nothing other than "I cannot believe they've done this"

Oh my god that giant Cloverfield monster was genuinely intimidating. I can't wait for them to expand on the Dark Side and its creepy crawlies.

Jesus, the cost of using Thriller in this trailer was probs higher than the first season's entire budget

I can't fucking wait. All episode release again too. :speedfap:

I love Stranger Things and this trailer, but it just felt sort of out of place for me. I understand that standard practices exist for a reason, but in my opinion, I don't think it worked. I realize that for a lot of people it works, in this trailer too, and I respect the trailer maker's use of it. I didn't mean to come off as hostile.

Didn't come off as hostile to me. It's more like if you went 'but the song faded out at the end' when folks are touting a track as 'how you should write a song'. It's just a very odd thing to put as an example of 'how not to shoot a trailer' (or in context with the analogy 'how not to make a song') like it was a thing that makes the thing less 'worthy' of standing as an example. It's just a choice of chocolate over vanilla, effectively, like whether you use the rule of thirds or the golden ratio or the golden spiral and so forth to compose your shots - except in this case we're talking about tension and expectation management as goes scene transition choices. Don't know why that makes it 'something that shouldn't stand as an example for how to make a trailer' to you but it seems pretty nonsense reasoning to me.

I should have worded it differently in retrospect

Naming it Stranger Things 2 really feels like a weird remnant from when the series was an Anthology, but I'm glad they did it

October can't come soon enough

Fuck me the Duffer Brothers do their nostalgia homework. Got some John Carpenter's The Thing vibes at the end of the trailer. I am ecstatic for this new season.
