Trailer analysis.

Charlotte, Gemma and I have finally finished our trailer and are very happy with the overall out come. To create this and actually be happy with it we had to film very long scenes and cut out the snappy bits that we thought were the most effective. Whilst creating out trailer, we continued to ask our peers to help give criticism. The thing we were told most was that it was too much like a "mini movie" rather than a trailer. So we cut scenes down, swapped them about and added in a few flashing images to add more suspense.

To create more of an eerie effect we needed to add some music and effects to our shots. We used iMovie to create our trailer and luckily built in were sound effects that we could use to add suspense to our trailer for the audience. We added a voiceover with a radio effect to give the feeling that 'Charlie' has been kidnapped which keeps the audience involved and wondering 'what's happening?'

After changing the last few snaps we as a group sat down with the other groups and gave feedback after watching them all. We thankfully recieved very nice comments from our peers. Also everyone who viewed it said that we had an excellent use of sound and liked the fact that we hadn’t given too much away as we didn’t include any shots of the killer. They said it looked very professional as all the shots flowed well together giving a great final trailer.

The one thing that we did face as being a problem is the length of our film and this was a huge issue for us. Most trailers that we watched and analyised were around about 1.30-2minutes and ours is only 1minute 8 seconds. But due to having the snappy atmosphere and the suspense feeling we created whilst doing so we were not all that fussed. And are happy with the overall out come.
