Soundtrack 3

We decided to test out some other ideas for possible sound tracks to accompany our trailer. After going away and casually listening to music, Ryan found a song which he felt was a good idea to accompany the trailer, Zombies by The Cranberries. But because we know that only a limited amount of our final creation can be copyrighted we came up with the idea of covering the song but changing sections so the song becomes a little more original. This will be done but key changes, alteration to the melody and a slight change in tempo.

We plan on going away and testing out this idea on Thursday, 30th Jan. After a added day of filming to get some more shots for our Trailer.

Research and Planning Grade

Well done Ryan. This is a good start and you have evidenced some research and planning proficiently. Your research into certification is detailed, and you have researched similar products (exploring similar genre trailers and film posters).

More detail is needed on your audience profiling posts, and you need to explain what the numbers tell you about who is likely to see your film and how you intend to appeal to them in your trailer.

There is some organisation of location evident, but you should include actor, costume and prop research, with images and explanations as to why they are appropriate for the genre.

There is little evidence of time management, with no filming diary present. I'm glad to see the beginnings of a script, however a storyboard must be completed in order to move up.

Soundtrack Improved

One of the crucial components of a good trailer is a good sound track. The music used need to have the right effect upon the audience. If your film is full of action and on-edge scenes then you was a sound track that links with the high tension.

Because of this we had the idea of beginning our trailer with a slow, acoustic guitar. Giving a calm solemn feel to the clips that are being shown, of isolation. Once the feeling of being alone and trying to survive has set in, we bring in a heavier bass line and drums over, showing the drastic change that the people would have had to deal with within their lives. The guitar would then continue in the form of an electric guitar, adding in a solo towards the end to show the need for improvisation within this new life that people have had to adapt too.

Music within a trailer will either enhance or kill what the audience is seeing. The music needs to fit to mood of what the audience is watching, otherwise it will take away from the feeling that the trailer is trying to get the audience to feel. The trailer needs to grab the audience and convince them that they are going to want to take the time to spend their money and see this film, this cannot happen if the whole thing is ruined bu a poor choice in sound track.
