Changes To My Story Board

There has been a few changed made to my story board. The reasons for this is that when on set to film your shots, you either find that the shots don't look right, or add in shots you feel could be needed in your trailer. I have had to add in quite a lot of new shots due to fact that what I had didn't convoy the narrative of the film, therefore going against my aims and intentions. For example, I have added in more shots in the third part of the trailer were the pace gets a lot fast as I needed to show my character being more risk taking and outgoing which has slowed me to get across my narrative. I have chosen to add in a scene before the fast pace section to really build up tension which allows the audience to then be thrown into fast pace section as before, it when from a medium amount of tension to a lot of tension without gradually building up, this now means the audience because more invested and more on edge when watching.
Also I feel i underestimated the length of the trailer, meaning that it was vital to add in more shots to have a conventional length trailer.

Trailer Music Ideas 2

I had to choose a piece of music that was dramatic yet uplighting, and therefore I had to get the right pace to be able to express the genre of my trailer. When choosing a piece of music for the 2nd part of my trailer, I had to bare in mind that I needed a good rhythm to put my clips to, as it needed to be fast paced and short shots. I chose to use 'Shake it Out' by Florence and The Machine, as i felt the song had a few different levels of intensity that I could use to build up the pace etc. When I asked my target audience what they thought of the piece of music, they said it was perfect and it was also 'catchy' which means the song is well identifiable and when my audience would hear the song, they would think of my film. As this song is well know, I was able to also find instrumental versions to use.

Trailer Music Ideas 1

These are a few examples of songs/pieces of music I tried using for the first part of my trailer. The genre was indie-pop has this suits the genre of a teen drama very well. I needed to have a semi-uplighting piece that is dramatic yet also a fun and happy song to listen to, so I can set the right tone for my trailer. The characters are two best friends having fun together so I needed a piece of music that would complement this.
The problems I had were that some of the songs were too fast, too slow, not uplighting enough, too uplighting and also didn't have instrumentals available.
I chose to use 'Made of Light' by Mikky Ekko, the same artist whose song was used in the 2nd part of the PaperTowns Trailer. I found that the start of the song was long enough to create that instrumental part in the beginning scene.

Shoot 1

This is a picture I took as i just wanted to show my actors with the background behind them to see whether the background works well in the shot.

This is a photo of me filming one of my shots of Lewis. I am using a Tripod, with a microphone on the camera but I chose not to use it because of the background noise from the wind. This however made me take out unnecessary dialogue. 

 Here is what my characters wore on this shoot. I wanted them in casual teenage clothes to create the mis-en-scene for the trailer. Amy wore very conserved causal clothing to show her characters personality of being 'safe' and normal. Lewis worse stereotypical young male clothing that is very current, as i wanted to portray how he is a young modern person.

This is one of the locations I was going to use however, i chose not to use it as it had a lot of empty space in the background. 

This is a still frame from a mid close up Arc shot. 

Magazine Front Cover Drafts

This is a conventional film magazine front cover for the 'popular genre', as drama films do not actually have their own magazine genre and fall into other categories. 

The Coverline would be bold and large using the same font as the film title in the trailer and poster, there are plugs both flush left and right to create a busy tone. The feature article photo is a close up shot, that will bring the cover star and reader to a more personal level. The Masthead is big and bold to catch the readers eye and attention.

This is a less conventional film magazine front cover ad the plugs are very much all flush right, creating an unbalanced page. The feature article photo however is a mid shot, and therefore shows more of the body and maybe more of a story as you can see their body language. The masthead is bold and big.

This draft is similar to the first draft,non the way they are both conventional for the type of magazine. The masthead is bold and large to catch the readers eye, and the cover start again can hold a more personal connection with the reader. The difference is, is that the coverline is flush left, however I feel this won't grab the readers attention s much as it would in the first draft.

Poster Drafts

This draft uses a conventional shot for the main photo for a teen drama poster. The shot is a close up and therefore creates a more personal and friendly tone. The title is very large and takes up a third of the page, however leaves a lot of negative space.

This draft is more conventional for a indie-teen drama film, as a mid close up of each character is used and there is purposely alot of negative space and a large title. I felt as though it was too unconventional for my film and therefore decided not to use it.

This is the draft I chose to use as I felt the close up shot made the poster more personal and throws the audience straight into the characters lives. The title is across the photo to link the poster together and is very bold to bring attention. There is only a small gap for negative space which is always easy to fill later on in development.
