Research And Planning: Re-Making A Trailer Evaluation

Similarites Of The Trailer

• While filming the trailer we were able to make sure that all of the shot types were the same and that the camera was set to the right angle to match the original trailer.

           

• The sound during both trailers were very similar as we found the soundtrack and score to the film and used it at the correct parts of the trailer. We also used the same dialogue as the characters in the film did to ensure that our trailer was similar to the original one.

• The body language and angles in which we looked were also similar to the original trailer to make it look as realistic as we possibly could.

• We were able to use iMovie to create the voice over for the trailer which was exactly the same as the original trailer.

                                              

Differences Within The Trailer

• Due to timing and the resources that were available we had to shorten the trailer and cut out a few of the clips that were not possible to do. For example when one of the characters falls through the ceiling of the school.

• The software which we used allowed us to create a similar logo as the one in the trailer but due to us having to cut down the trailer we placed the logo over a different clip in which we had filmed. Also the font used in the original trailer was not available on the iMovie software so a different one had to be chosen.

• As there were a limited number of places in which we could film the trailer as we only had a short amount of time only a certain number of the clips could be filmed in different places. In a few of the shots the location is the same and does not look like the original trailer. In the original trailer the two characters are sat in different places but because of the location in which we filmed in the two characters were sat in the same place for this clip.

What I learnt from the making of this trailer
After creating this trailer I learnt that there are a lot of different shot types and clips that need to be created for a trailer. With having limited resources and only being able to film in certain locations I have learnt that when making my own trailer I will have to consider the genre very carefully. This is due to location and what it available for me to use and create.
