LAURA SOUTER 1860
I worked with Tallulah Duffy 1823 and Fia Brown 1804
We created a promotion package for a new film, which includes two trailers, together with an official social media page for the film and a poster for the film. We made the promo pack for a coming-of-age rom com called 'Tru 2 U'. Through my research of other trailers such as Freaky Friday and Mean girls, I understood how to emulate the genre conventions of a teen comedy in my own trailer.
MAIN TRAILER
TEASER TRAILER
CAMERA WORK
I took responsibility for the camerawork in particular and worked behind the scenes as my group member Tallulah Duffy was our main protagonist of the trailer. I took into consideration the importance of different camera angles: wide angle shots, close up shows, tracking shots etc, to create meaning. I enjoyed working with the Iphone 12 pro and the Canon camera, and after time experimenting, I became confident in creating interesting shots which I believe is evident from our trailer.
EDITING
We worked together for the editing job, and each offered our individual opinions. As we were creating a trailer we positioned our clips in a non-linear order to align our trailer with the conventions of a typical film opening. We took careful thought into ordering our clips, speeding them up where necessary, and brightening up the clips by increasing the saturation. The editing was a joint effort.
DIRECTING
I took a lot responsibility for the directing of the scenes and offering ideas behind the camera because I was not acting in front of the camera. I take a lot of interest in directing and offering ideas to my group-mates and so therefore believed this role was fitting for my skill set.
SOUND
I also had a role to play in choosing sound for our trailer. As a group, we decided to remove all diegetic sound from the trailer and only use a song: 'The real me' by Alexis, which we found in another already existing film: 'Confessions of a teenage drama queen' - which film is alike ours. The non-diegetic music which I found after time researching was an important part in the making of our trailer.
