We were given a task which involved being given a random object, place and title. From this we had to construct a 20 second teaser trailer showing that we used what we were given as inspiration. The most important part of this task was ensuring that we incorporated each convention of a film trailer into our own. We learnt what was needed to make a successful trailer and this included:
-Voiceover
-Production company logo
-Title
-Intertitles
-Extracts from the film
-Music
-Sound effects
-Montage
-Dramatic camera shots/angles
-Non chronological editing
-Reviews
We were able to manage these different conventions into what we saw as a successful teaser trailer. From this we learnt that it is possible to construct a good film trailer from very little inspiration, (three aspects) yet still produce a trailer of good quality as long as the correct film trailer conventions are used. This research will prove very valuable when it comes to producing our own trailer as we have learnt what needs to be including within a trailer to make it successful.
Up to date so far Adam. Good to see you are adding explanations and opinions about your work and how it has helped your skills. When analysing magazines I so update like to see more comment about the vocabulary chosen as this is vital in targeting the audience. You have commented on the work massive but there are several more.
ReplyDeleteWhen you add the trailer research, remember to analyse the trailers using the 4 areas of camera, editing, sound and mise en scenes and evaluate how these target a specific audience.
