Evaluation for music video

Music video

I had a go at filming a music video to get an idea for how to edit.

Red and green band trailers

This is a green band this is at the start of every trailer that is. The trailer has to be suitable for a 12A audience, however the actual film may be a 15. This just means that any swearing or violence has to be taken out. A red band however is for 15 rated audiences and can include swearing and violence. A 15 rated film would do this so that their trailer is shown in more places and would draw up more attention. An example of a 15 film that had scenes removed from a red band trailer is the 2017 film Logan. One scene was removed and this was a scene that showed violence, however this scene did feature in the red band trailer.

Hashtags

On my third teaser trailer, I introduced a hashtag at the end of the trailer. This was #SaveTheSchool. Putting a hashtag on trailers is a good way for the news to travel that this film is coming out. It lets audiences talk about it on social media such as twitter. These are some examples of films that have done this. Sucicide squad used the hashtag # SucicideSquad. This is very simple and is just the name of the film, but it was trending on twitter, and eveyone was talking about it, after this trailer was realsed. However, the film Bad Santa 2 used the hashtag #ThisisBS. This is a comical hashtag as the BS obviously stands for Bad Santa, however it could be seen to mean another thing. Both these hashtags gives the movie an advantage as more people will be talking about the films, meaning more people might go an see them.

 

Full third teaser trailer

This is a third teaser trailer that I have made. It is about the teachers this time. I have actually got real teachers to act in it to make it more realistic.

Idea for third teaser trailer

Teacher teaser trailer-

For this, I will need to interview the teachers from the school. To make this realistic I have asked a few of the actual teachers around the school to play a small part in it. This will make it more believable as they are the actual age they are supposed to be.

Plan:

Shows 3/4 teachers talking about what they think about the school. The first few scenes are going to make it sound like the teachers are all hard working and love being at school, however, when it shows the teachers talking, it shows they don’t really care that much about being there.
Teachers saying phrases such as “The only good thing here is that the budget is unlimited. That’s probably why we’re in so much dept.” or “I’ve only turned up 3 times this year and we’re in November.”

Editing

This is a list of aspects that myself and those who I have shown this trailer to believe that I have done with my trailers so far and what I could possibly change.

Teaser movie poster attempt

This is my first attempt at a teaser movie poster. I plan to show people it and ask them to see if they can guess what the film is going to be about.

Teaster movie poster

A teaser poster is an early version of a film poster, containing a basic image or design without revealing too much information such as the plot or characters. The purpose is to promote awareness and generate hype for the film. A tagline may be used for this first teaser poster.

 

These are some examples of teaser movie posters. As you can see, all of them have a black background and contain on image per poster. The image is actually quite essential to the film; however, you wouldn’t know this without seeing the film. They also all contain a date for when the film is going to be released. None contain an actual character which tells me that I will only need to use an object for mine. Only one of these posters contain a tag line, which shows that teaser posters can include tag lines on them. I will now create my own teaser movie poster using the same techniques that are being used here.



Feedback

After showing a group of people I have received advice on how to make the video a bit more smooth. I will do this by re editing the video, and moving around some scenes, then adding a scene of one of the students walking in and sitting on a chair.

Second teaser trailer attempt

 

This is another teaser trailer that I have created and plan to get feedback from

Feedback

After showing this clip to a focus group with the ages 17-18, I have revived a bit of feedback from them. This main bits they said I need to focus on is making sure the person who is on screen speaks a lot clearer so it is easy to understand them. Also to make sure the lighting is right when recording to make it easy to see who is on the screen. I will take al, the points on board and make sure I change the way I record or keep in the points that people liked such as the sound effects and background music.

First attempt at a teaser trailer

For this video, I have used a clip of a band that I have recorded myself. I then recorded the character talking in the office space that I plan to use for the future for his actual office.

Magazine idea

This is an idea for a front cover I could further develop. I will use this as a template when I am designing my final front cover idea.
