This is our first rough cut for our film trailer that we are producing. We evaluated the progress that we have made and have discussed a few of the issues that we had. As a group we are unhappy with this as we feel that it is more like a short film rather than a trailer for a full length film. The only section of the work that we have created so far that we think is most likely a trailer is the final scene where Lily is being held hostage by her abductor in a closet and is awaiting his arrival. We think that the trailer is too longer and therefore we need to cut the clips that we use and use more significant snapshots rather than irrelevant scenes e.g walking. The acting in our trailer is not serious enough and therefore tension is hardly built. A major issue that we had with editing was that the music did not fit the trailer and the sound effects that we had recorded were not of good quality.
Our Media teacher and friend then watched the rough cut and gave us critiques as well as improvements that we could use to make our trailer better quality. They said that we should make it shorter and use more important moments. We should also include more jumpy parts as this will increase the tension for the audience. Reaction shots will be needed as well to reinforce the thriller genre and we can do this by zooming in and out on a character as they realise what is happening or change the position of the camera to show power. We will aim to use different shots to frame the picture of use a 1/2 shot to film a conversation. In the final scene, which we are most pleased with, we will ensure that our actress is scene to be struggling more to make it appear more realistic.
We will be re-filming the entire film trailer on Monday the 27th February. Here is our timetable for filming that day:
