analysis of first trial

1. FIRST TRIAL
OF FILM
TRAILER
A FIRST ATTEMPT AT A TRAILER USING
THE PROGRAMME IMOVIE ON A MACBOOK

2. WHY THIS WAS MADE
AS A GROUP WE FELT IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO MAKE
A TRIAL TRAILER WITH SOME OF THE SHOTS WE HAD
TAKEN FOR MANY REASONS:
- TO SEE HOW GOOD OUR CAMERA QUALITY WAS
- TO GET TO KNOW THE EDITING PROGRAMME
- TO SEE HOW WELL OUR SOUNDTRACK WOULD FIT
- TO EVALUATE HOW WELL THE SPEAKING WAS HEARD
- TO SEE IF WE LIKED THE ARRANGEMENT OF SHOTS
- TO SEE IF THE CAMERA WORK WAS SUITABLE

3. HOW IT WAS MADE
WE MADE THIS TRAILER IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE
INTEND TO MAKE OUR FINAL TRAILER SO AS TO SHOW A
GENUINE DEMONSTRATION OF HOW OUR TRAILER MAY
TURN OUT. WE SHOT THE CLIPS ON A CANNON CAMERA
AS WE FELT IT PRODUCED A BETTER QUALITY THAN THE
ONES THEY OFFERED US IN SCHOOL. WE THEN IMPORTED
THEM ONTO A MACBOOK AND IMPORTED THEM ONTO THE
PROGRAMME ‘IMOVIE’. TO MAKE THE TITLE PAGES WE
SELECTED A BLANK SCREEN AND THEN ADDED TEXT
ONTO THEM OF THE INFORMATION WE WANTED TO SHOW
TO THE AUDIENCE

4. COMMENTARY
THERE ARE SOME BLANK BLACK CLIPS AMONGST THIS
TRAILER WHICH WOULD BE FILLED WITH CLIPS THAT WE
HAVE NOT YET FILMED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME USING
THIS PROGRAMME AND THEREFORE I JUST WANTED TO
TRY AND MAKE SOMETHING TO SEE WHAT I WAS ABLE TO
DO. THIS TRAILER WAS CREATED ON A VERY BASIC LEVEL
AND UPON CREATING THE FINAL TRAILER THERE ARE
MANY THINGS THAT WOULD BE DONE DIFFERENTLY.
THE SOUNDTRACK USED IS ONLY A SHORT SNIPPET OF
THE ONE CREATED BY A MEMBER OF OUR GROUP AND IN
THE REAL THING MUCH MORE OF IT WILL BE HEARD.

5. COMMENTARY CONT.
THE BLUE CLIP THAT CAN BE SEEN AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE TRAILER IS WHERE WE WOULD DISPLAY THE LOGO
OF OUR PRODUCTION COMPANY, BUT AT THIS CURRENT
MOMENT IN TIME WE DON’T HAVE THAT AVAILABLE,
THEREFORE I SIMPLY PUT SOMETHING IN THE PLACE OF
IT SO THAT WE WERE STILL FOLLOWING THE FORMAT OF
A TYPICAL FILM TRAILER
