The film starts off with the main character in a close up talking into the camera. This automatically suggest that he is the main character and the plot is central around him. This is not a typical convention of film trailers.This is also an indication that the film is given through his point of view and suggest that he narrates the film.
The film then goes on to show all the characters in the film talking about the main character "Ferris Buller" .
The film shows people from all aspects of Ferris life, talking about him. E.g, his best friend, his headteacher, his sister. They talk about all the different aspects of his personality and what type of person he is.
This allows the audience to get an insight into the main character without him talking about himself what so ever. The audience are intrigued to what sort of character he is and what part he plays in the film.
There is no voice over in the film until right at the end when the actor is being introduced and the name of the film is given . This is used effectively as the main description of the film is given by the clips from the film.
There is classical music played throughout the trailer. This subverts the " teenage rebellion" theme of the film. The music is calm and slow which contradicts the plot of the film. This makes the conventions original as it is the normal fast rock music usually played in this genre of film.
