After finishing our first attempt at making a trailer for a movie, we planned, organised and edited our video. The things I think went well were the actors that we asked to take part in our trailer, the use of the school's drama room, which added to the atmosphere we wanted in the trailer. The actors helped mostly because they were able to listen to directions that we gave them and were able to go off the notes that we provided them with and create a type of character we originally had the idea of.
The things I also thought well we the use of location, at first we were contemplating going outside of school, however after walking around the school and getting permission off the drama teachers and our media teacher, we were able to use the dance room, which created the atmosphere of an abandoned warehouse. We started off by learning how to use the lighting in the room, since it was already a dance room, the lights and props were already in there. The lighting worked well as they had quite a few spotlights, which served well for the action we wanted to show.
I think the music could have been improved, or the speed or the music towards the end, where the scenes start to get faster and flash across the scene. The speed should have matched the transition speed. When we showed our video to our media teacher and the other classes' media teacher this is what they picked up on, and I agree that whilst we used great music and it fit the genre we were trying to portray I think it could have been used better to match the atmosphere of the trailer.
Overall I think that the video trailer is a good place to start from, regarding being able to work from it and work with the advice and criticism we were given, and now we have an idea of what work needs to be done to successfully plan, film and edit a video to a good standard.
