Research- Practice Film Trailer

http://www.filmeducation.org/teachingtrailers/secondary/make_a_trailer/view/BFAEB

I decided to use a a website on on Filmeducation on a section called teaching trailer which allowed me to use a simple editing storyboard style format to drag in sound and clips to construct my own version of the Die Hard trailer. It gave me a selection of clips and soundtracks to chose from, my aim was to construct a fast paced trailer in a non-cronlogical order, whilst still allowing for a narrative to be conveyed. The software was very basic and didn't allow for me to achieve all areas that I would include in my final product such as the included release date and so on. The soundtrack was also difficult to work with as it only let me use one track therefore leaving half of the trailer silent. Also I was unable to add many other stereotypical thriller trailer conventions such as voice overs and synchronus sound use for effect. However it was a useful skill to give me an idea of some coventions that I could use in my own project. Overall I feel that I have achieved this aim and was a vital piece of research for me going forward for considering transferable skills such as this fast paced, non chronological style of film trailer.
