Trailer analysis of source code.




At the start of the trailer institutional information is used straight away again, this obides with forms and conventions of normal movie trailers, and also as I referred to in a previous analysis, its like 'brand' recognition' if you know the production company and you've liked most of their films, then you're going to want to carry on watching this also if you know the production company has a lot of money and you know it's prestigious then you're going to know the film is going to be good. 

there are some sound effects which are played when the institutional information is shown, this straight away gives you a hint towards what the movie is about, and you're going to get some clues, via sound as to what the movie is about. 

sometimes with the editing of a film trailer, it's not all about something actually being on screen, a black screen with no sound can be just as effective as something on screen with sound, in this case they have used a black screen for a sort of 'pause' which has allowed the audience to gather together what has just happened and rethink it through their mind. 

good use of camera shots/angles, such as an establishing shot, which shows where the film is set. 

fast cuts in the editing side of the trailer can be used to illistrate the pace of the movie as 'fast' and also it will show just how intense the film is. fast paced is going to draw the audience in and make them watch it. they wont get bored with fast action packed part of a trailer. 

the trailer ends with insitutional information and when the movie is coming out. which is good for the audience, as they are going to want to know when it comes out and it use conventions of a normal trailer as most trailers have a date at which the film is released on it.

Magazine Front Cover Draft.

Here I have created a magazine front cover draft of what I would expect my front cover to look similar to, I will use this draft to create my final magazine front cover, obviously with alot more detail and colours and real images. I used paint to create this draft as I feel it's the most simplistic programme to use aswell as it being quick. for my final magazine front cover I will be using Photoshop.

Filming

My group and I have successfully filmed out of movie trailer, there are one or two shots which still need to be filmed but these couldn’t be filmed due to lighting issues, with it going dark really early in the day lately, it was a struggle to fit such a vast amount of filming into such a short space of time and then we had the worry of lighting issues, and the floor was still quite damp from previous rain, so the footwear they were using 'smart shoes' proved and issue when they were doing all their running.

we are now onto editing the final movie trailer during the editing of the movie trailer I’m going to look at a lot of final cut pro tutorials as well as trying to do as much as possible of my magazine front cover and movie poster. Out of the two I feel the movie poster will take the longest to do, as I have never created a movie poster before, I have however made a magazine front cover.

final cut pro, from what I have gathered already is very difficult to use, from what i9 understand there is a user friendly version which is available but at a price and my school only has the old version, so it will be quite difficult and a lengthy process when editing, what makes the editing process easier is that we don’t really need sound from the clips we filmed, in our movie trailer so this will make the process of editing a lot faster.

We need.
- cut the clips and get what we need and don’t need
- make sound track or backing music
- Voice recorder a voice over for our movie trailer
- add transitions and effect to clips/between clips
- make final institutional info, so it's a perfect copy and then add into trailer

GENRE

We are planning to have the trailer as a sci-fi/action/thriller because we feel as though this work quite well within the film industry and have quite a large audience that are interested within this genre. We also feel as though this genre will work well with the planning we have done for the trailer.
