Results and comments from my trailer



s you can see with these results I have had a mixed reaction. Majority of the votes are in the basic region, this me I have to improve my trailer for if I want it to be in the proficient section on the diagram. The main points that I will have to improve on dramatically are
• Holding a shot steady
• Framing a shot
• Varied shots transitions, caption and other FX
These points are marked low in the basic area of the diagram. I would have to improve them to get them to proficient or excellent.
Points that I have the best results with
• Appropriate material
• Editing for meaning
• Overall mark
These are good points and a mark to get on my film, the overall mark is crucial for my film. I would need to improve the mark by at least 5 marks to get into the excellent section.
I have a good amount of marks on my proficient section which is a good thing but would have to improve to get into the excellent section. The 3 parts of the criteria that I god excellent in were
• Appropriate material
• Selecting mise en scene
• Editing for meaning

Some comments I received-
“Small video, at the last clip was large”
“too dark in parts”
“change font”
“don’t understand some of the fonts and words”
“too much hand held”
“fix the sound”
“use tripod”
“use canted shot”
“add non-diegetic sound”

New style and updated trailer

The trailer that i have constructed was a sense of reality style. I filmed most of the trailer as a P.O.V shot or stedi cam, making it seem real life and as almost this footage was found. I got this style and idea off the upcoming film Project x where a a boy films his best mates party for him and it gets a bit out of control.

PROJECT X 2012

This is the trailer of project x 2012

I did not film all the trailer in P.O.V but also in ordinary shots as well.
My plan for future filming is to make less P.O.V shots and make the trailer seem less like an documentary and more of a film. I also plan to include non-diegetic music in.
