TRAILER/SOUND The types of sounds that I used

for the production entailed

different types of sound effects

(SFX) from the programme that

was already stalled on the

computer and also soundtracks

from YouTube, particularly

towards the end of my trailer. Our

original idea was to use a

soundtrack throughout, but after

we tested this we found that it

was a bit to repetitive and did not

fulfil all the typical conventions of

what makes a good urban action

trailer. To begin with we were

going to use ‘2pac-Dear Mama’

this was because lyrically the

words synchronised and really

was able to identify with our

product. Although when we came

across ‘TI-Yeah Ya Know’ we

immediately knew that this was a

better fit, both lyrically and

rhythmically so it was a no

brainer.

As we had eventually come to the

decision what soundtrack we

wanted to use we needed to

download the file, we did this using

Video Converter Ultimate this

allowed me to embed the file and

use it without the quality being poor.

Immediately we understood that we

were going to use a soundtrack

nonetheless we didn't want to use

the entire of the 4:29 minutes with

this we selected the introduction

and which went through un till the

pinnacle of the middle chorus so it

ended on impact. In the beginning

we used separate SFX so that it

would be a build up until the actual

peak of the trailer which was when

we brought in the actual backing

track consisting of TI which really

gave that dramatic effect. We used

the first couple of minutes of the

song to create the anticipated

build-up effect we were discussing.

We done this so that the scenes

we chose to position at the

end, were intense and created

suspense.

TRAILER/SOUND

The sound effects were very constructive in the

formation of our trailer as we inferred from our

investigation that all most all trailers included a

soundtrack and sound effects which were usually

used at the beginning. The sound effect we used

were mostly for our establishing shots and

important scenes such as the phone call shot.

As a group we then made the decision to implant the sound effects within

out trailer on the programme Adobe Premier Pro. We had to place the

sound effects where it says ‘Audio 1’ as this is where you can allow your

backing track/sound effects synchronise and harmonise with the rest of

your trailer.TRAILER/SOUND

•It should have been Portrait instead of landscape

•There should have been more shots in the background

•You could have added a film strip in the background

•The colours are too dark

•Minimal writing

•More attention to detail

ANCILLARY TASK 2 / MAGAZINE

CRITSISM OF

MAGAZINE

•There should have been just one central image as a pose to

two.

•Dark colours are too overpowering.

•There is too much black space.

•Too much puffs/stories round the edge.

•Highlighted box was not needed.

•To expensive.

INSTITUTIONS IN TRAILER

At first our initial plans were for our institution to be ‘Lighthouse Productions’’. The we realised that this was already an actual

institution so we then changed it to

This is the institution we decided to carry on working on and develop. Then after we had

created another institution further down the line to finalise and seal our actual film trailer

and make it look as professional as we could.
