'We Are Your Friends' Trailer #1 | Vendor: Transit
I don’t know how many people were clamoring for an underdog DJ movie, but judging by its historically poor opening box office, not many. Still, this is a slickly cut, upbeat piece that pulsates with a musical energy - in fact there isn’t a second without music playing (including the joke stop-downs) until the final pre-title scene.
My gut tells me a lot of first half shots and VO play out similarly in the movie, but it doesn’t really matter; the big over-the-shot graphic cards and split-screen “beats per minute” DJ explanation are a fun gateway to the world of the character. Cool mini-sound device at 2:05 with the nail cut to the beat, and the clever title treatment paired with corresponding song lyrics is a potent exclamation point to finish out the piece.
