What targets will you set yourself for G324 next year- when you will make a trailer?






Next year for our media course we shall be making a trailer for a film. This shall involve more make up, people, special effects etc. This is because we have to involve scenes from throughout the film so that the audience will be interested in watching the film. Special effects and sound shall play a huge factor in it because it needs to be interesting quick and attract as many people as possible. Because of this I want to set myself high targets so I push myself to achieve as high grade as I can. I feel I have many targets for G324. These include, making sure when I film the trailer that I use more camera shots and special effects as our G321 was very simple. I also feel for the preliminary task I will add more information to each post to make it more interesting and therefore when we go to film we shall have more background knowledge so that we can produce a better film/trailer next time. IN G324 I want to be able to work as a team better to come together with all of our ideas to make a high quality trailer. During our trailer it shall involve different settings, people, make up , special effects, sound- either diegetic, non diegetic or both and much more! We shall need to focus on camera angles a lot because we need the audience to understand throughout the trailer.




In our 2 minute film the group and I struggled to make sure there were dates when we were all able to meet to film which caused problems. We also then lost footage off of one of the members from the groups phone. This set us back by a day because we had spent all day filming and lost most of it. Next time I would make sure every time we film a part we send it to each other so it is backed up and therefore we wouldn't lose anything. Losing our footage was disappointing at the time but it was a lesson well learnt and it has helped us to learn how we will film next year.


Next year we shall make days free when we can film and leave an extra few available so that if for a reason the original days are then unavailable we have others as an option. We also need to make sure we film the whole film the correct way as in G321 some of our filming was horizontal and others were landscape. This was a problem because it now doesn't flow well. Therefore next time we should film everything from either just one angle or do both angles for each part so that we can then decide afterwards if it is landscape or horizontal. Next time our group will film everything more than once so that we can over lap parts and crop parts but they still flow well. By having them from different angles we will be able to see what part is best.
