  • Overview
  • The Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets.

 I think the trailer is successful as it is full of action to get people to want to watch the film. Also by putting things in slow motion it gives the viewer time to think about it.
  • Poster campaign (again, might include a teaser poster with ltd information) - how does it sell the film?  Consider the mise en scene and information given  
  • consider the use of the internet in the marketing of the film - what sort of things were done?
  • Was/Is there any merchandise available alongside the film, or promos in the way of things like happy meals/giveaways/competitions
