Feared Trailer draft 2

Feared trailer draft 2.

Mrs D

Well done Jack. You have some good shots at the start and I really like the ending. You need to consider the middle part and how successful this is in terms of the criteria – camera etc. Is it horror? Do you have enough content as the middle has lots of repetition?  

Trailer Draft 1

 

This is our first draft of our tailer.

Mrs D

Well done Jack. You are working well and are meeting your deadlines. However, I don't think your blog posts reflect the amount of time spent on your project. Please keep updating using a range of ICT.

Audience feedback

Today we did peer assessment for our trailers in our class and we got feedback on our trailer, here is a paragraph of all our feedback we got summed up.

One point was that people really like the soundtrack, especially with the siren effect. However they said that it needs to be fitted in better in sync with the trailer, so that the heartbeat fits in with what going on with the screenplay. Another positive point is that people liked the final scene of the trailer as it is scary, but would be better with a loud sound effect to make it jumpy. There was some critical feedback on our trailer as well which was helpful as it means we will find it easier to improve our trailer. They were some comments such as some parts of the dialogue could do with being louder. Also we may need more shot diversity as the shots of people running away can be very repetitive. Furthermore the writing is good, but may need to be clearer as it can be hard to read at times. Finally we may need to add some scenes at the start explaining what the people are doing and who they are hunting.

Update

Today was a very productive day for me and Harry. We did a lot of filming with one of our cast members, Adam, and Harry as the killer as well. The shots all came out really nicely in the ways we wanted them to. We have added music to the trailer as a rough estimate as to what it will sound like, and we have started editing and organising the clips we filmed today. 

We then got feedback from our teacher and have come up with a work plan so we can do the improvements she suggested, as we have to give more of a background to all four of our characters. Therefore me and Harry plan to do more filming of the four 'hunters' so the audience get and insight into who they are and who/why they are hunting. 

Update / Trailer music

Update

So far, me and Harry have done a very large amount of filming for our trailer and the majority of it has been completed. We have also done a lot of editing with the clips we have and have come up with a first draft of the structure for our trailer. However due to technical difficulties with out camera, not all the clips that were filmed have been fully transferred to the Mac, so we are going to retry this on Monday and try and get more clips for editing, as well as finishing all filming for the trailer hopefully.
