Final Film Trailer

This is the Final draft for our film trailer:

This was the first draft and it has no sound as we never finished it because we added improvements all the time. Audience feedback suggested that we needed to correct the colour and lighting of most of the clips as they did not follow conventions. Other feedback suggested that we needed to change the order of the clips and get new clips that would build tension and suspense which would also help our trailer follow the conventions.

This was the second draft and you can really see how it had improved from the first draft but still needed more shots to look professional. The narrative of the trailer also needed improvement so we decided to use different audio which introduces the story (the phone call at the beginning of the final draft). The newer clips we got were inspired a lot from trailers we had watched online. We had also changed the colour and lighting of some of the clips as the audience suggested which made it look a lot better than the first draft.

Poster: Screen Grabs of editing

Poster: Critical Reflection Journal on shoot

I took the photos that you can see in the original photos blogpost all on the same day. I took them after we had done shooting on one of the shoots and took many different photos so I could have a wide collection to choose from so I didnt have to do multiple shoots as we were quite short of time and didnt have many opportunities to film/shoot together as we are all busy people. I got the shot I used for my poster near the end of the shoot and knew it was the one I wanted to use after I took it as I believe it is framed really well and shows the protagonist in the setting with the props used.

Poster: Original Images

This photo is good although the lighting and colouring would have needed to be edited in post production as the right of his face is too bright. The mise-en-scene in the background was also not very good.

This photo was too overexposed and the lens flare ruins it, I like the idea of the photo though as it shows the main character in the setting of the trailer and it shows how big and daunting the house really is to him.

This photo was okay but wasn't exactly in focus and is kind of blurry, the lighting also isn't very good and the mise-en-scene wouldn't work as there are flowers which connote femininity and cleanliness which aren't connotations we would like of our film.

I really like this photo and used it for my poster. I did however have to crop the lamp and stuff in the background out of the photo as they don't fit in well but the way the character is posing and how you can see the props we used in the film works well, it also hints at the storyline.

The lighting in this photo isn't very good and I don't think he is posing as well as I would have liked.

This last photo was close to being the one I used in the trailer as I think it is quite good and copies the pose that many thriller films have on their posters. The lighting is good and it is in focus.
