Laura McKiernan created a crime drama titled "Suspected" with two others. The drama follows a woman's murder where a gang is suspected but may be innocent. Limitations included not filming all planned scenes and having to change characters due to absences. Advantages included the trailer's coherent storyline despite changes. McKiernan edited the trailer, adding titles to introduce characters and manipulate footage and audio to build tension. Researching crime drama conventions from shows like CSI and Sherlock helped in planning but the schedule changed significantly from limitations.

Evaluation
Our crime drama ‘Suspected’ was created by Lily Curtis, Georgia rt and Laura McKiernan,
We decided to name it /Suspected’because of how people make assumptions about who committed
the murderer.
The main idea is that a women is killed, and there is a gang that is running out of the same place
which the police catch on CCTV. But the gang originally ran out because they heard noise because
they were robbing the bank below and they flee because of the noise, and the gang is ‘suspected’.
This is why we called our crime drama Suspected.
Our limitation making the trailer was not all the scenes we wanted to plan. We filmed up to 20 film
scenes, but for the making of my trailer I only used 8 clips of footage, On the other hand they all
fitted together. Another limitation is we didn’t use enough characters for example I played two parts
in the trailer such as the killer and Victoria. Also the people we did plan to use were either absent or
couldn’t come and film so we had to completely change some of our characters.
Our advantages of making the trailer is the clips fitting all together. Our main idea was still the same
throughout the trailer. We just had to make changes on the characters and where we filmed. We
added extra characters, such as the running scene, but we didn’t plan to use that because we could
use every room and space we planned to use at that time.
In my trailer we used running shots. On the first running scene, the camera stayed still. But on the
other running scenes Georgia ran with Luke, The limitation of the second running scene was that the
camera was not steady at all, I think we could of used a different tripod that has wheels and then it
would of looked more effective, added tension and was filmed better.

After the trailer shows you the scene of the apartment, the music goes quiet then it comes in and
the title ‘Suspected’ appears. The music builds effect to the title when it comes into the scene, and
adds suspense.
This shot is over the shoulder, we used
this shot type to show they are having a
conversation, and it brings the audience
into the conversation.
This shot shows that this is a crime drama,
not anything else. We made the camera this
angle to make it look like the victim is weak
and that the audience/police are looking
down at her she it shows she is not alive.
When I was editing my trailer we used a lot of tools to cut the clips and change the colour of the
clips. We had to cut the clips down to make sure it didn’t look like its just put together in a random
order.
This is how I made a title
throughout my trailer. I made 7 titles in my
trailer. It helps it makes you understand the
trailer more because you introduce the
characters to the audience.

There is a single title in this is
because It has no background
image involved. I did the
same thing with the default
still title but there is no image
in the back. I like the three
titles in the end they stand
out and the music go very
well with it.
Before we made our crime drama we looked at crime conventions in Sherlock, CSI and
Castle. To help us understand more about crime dramas and key things to put into our trailer. This
helped our group because it gave us more idea’s so if our original idea didn’t work then we have
ideas to fall back on. Also more crime drama such as CSI and Sherlock helped us create an idea on
the same idea as these do.

We did some idea on the characters before we made our crime drama. This is our final spider
diagram of what characters we would use. There were several characters we didn’t use such as; Ross
Stan Martin And also we had a complete change on the main characters which were played by me a
Lily.
This is our schedule we made for our
Crime drama to go to plan. Unfortunately
none of this went to plan because most of
the English room were being used, we had
to change several scenes and rooms. We
changed most of the scenes where they
were shot and also we changed most of
the characters. I had to be two because in
our media group most of them were
filming or editing. But in the end I think
our trailer fitted together nicely.
