Charlie is a 18 years old male and is a student, therefore he directly fits into our main target audience
demographics.
3. Positives
•
•
•
•
Link to other action films such as Ill manors.
Fulfills the requirements of a trailer.
Music makes the genre instantly recognizable.
Iconography e.g. Drugs
4. Negatives
•
•
•
•
•
Shots before the time-lapse slow down the action.
Long running shot is down an estate that looks too nice.
Voice overs need improving.
Hard to understand the storylines.
Fight seen needs improving.
5. Links to action films and music
•
•
•
•
Link to other action films such as Ill manors. This was shown in the review on the time lapse that
compared it to independent British film Ill manors. We also used Ill manors as inspiration for part of our
filming.
This links to our song “End Credits” a song by plan B, who was a key member in the development of ill
manors and an actor in “Harry Brown” another film that we used for inspiration for our film trailer.
The shot at 0:11 seconds needs the water splashing sound removed.
6. Editing/ Camera work
•
•
•
Camera shots/ angles were diverse and steady. They worked for the trailer. A couple of shots such as the
shot at the end of the protagonists brother dead could be reshot to actually show the characters face.
The fight scene around 0:27 seconds was a bit unrealistic and a bit slow compared to other action scenes
we have. We could reshot this scene to make it look more realistic and in editing make the shots cut
quicker, with it possibly from a couple more angles.
Editing needs to be done to sort the corrupt files we had. (this is when the screen goes dark black)
7. Mise-en-scene
•
The long running shot between 0:14 and 0:21 seconds was suggested to be filmed in a different location
because the location seemed “too nice” to be having a burglary. Although the shot was liked it was
suggested we film it in a rougher looking location such as the one used at 0:28 seconds.
8. Iconography
•
Props such as “drugs” and the golf club were used effectively to help to enhance the audiences
understanding that the trailer was an action film and fit in nicely into the trailer.
9. General
•
•
“I would go and see the film, the trailer looks good”
The only issue we had was that the trailer is slightly difficult to understand and he thought that The main
protagonist was dead in the opening shot, we need to organize the trailer/ clips more when editing and
also reshot the opening shot possibly so it is clear Jake is just upset, not dead.
