The document discusses the use of music, sound, costumes, props, lighting, and locations in a film trailer project. Specifically, it mentions: 1) Using the song "Secrets" by The Zutons to help tell the storylines and link scenes, and editing the lyrics to coincide with on-screen text. 2) Incorporating non-diegetic sounds like phone alarms and adjusting music volume during dialogue. 3) Struggling to find fitting music for the middle and end, and planning to use Garageband for future projects. 4) Using costumes to portray character ideologies like dressing a ghost character in black. 5) Including props like phones to indicate

Overall from my personal feeling and audience
feedback the music was a success to the reason
for the use of certain lyrics and the starting beat
of the song. However I struggled with music for
the middle and end of the trailer as sound and
beat kept slowing which wasn’t what I wanted.
Next time I would use ‘Garage band’ to help me
so I wouldn't spend too much time on it.

3. Costumes are really important in my trailer as
they both portray ideologies of character, moods
and all show wealth. As a whole it was important
to get the messages across to the audience for
example Sierra is wearing black to show as evil,
but also as a ghost which is what her character is
portrayed to be. The use of costumes and props
highlights the characters ideology and feeling
with stereotypical styles. (I created a character
slide on ideologies)
The use of props to show the generics of
my own programme such as Blackberry
phone to show wealth.
In restaurant use of wine glasses and
champagne coolers to also show wealth as
they are portrayed by this through peers
and social media. This is known as
hegemony.
On location in restaurant, the use of natural light to create realism
to give the audience the feel they are there. I felt as if using a
addition high key lighting or low key could takeaway the sense of
realism.
The use of low key lighting at the start of trailer is used to add the
effect of a dusk morning to exaggerate to the audience for the
type of day.
