First Draft Trailer
Our first draft opens with a panning shot which I really like, we got our inspiration for this from 'The Amazing Spiderman' and also 'Kick Ass', as most superhero films tend to open their establishing shot with a high wide angled Pan Shot to enforce the power of the characters we're about to consume. As Mel worked extremely hard on creating a title sequence in After Effects we both agreed this must be included, following standard codes and conventions of film trailers we waited a few seconds in before inserting this as it creates a longer lasting effect on the audience. We then stitched together a sequence of shots we took of our protagonist around school this would hopefully introduce the character well as a stereotypical geek to our audience without any non diejetic/diejetic sound. The problem with these shots is the zoom. I dislike the zoom so much it brings the entire piece down from a professional standard.We're considering re filming this or editing it in a different way so as the zoom is unrecognisable.
0.31-0.34 - This is my favourite shot in the draft trailer as there's no zoom and the room is lit well with natural lighting, overall i thought this shot to be extremely professional, I'm pleased we included it in our draft trailer however in our final piece we won't be able to as we made a mutual agreement to change the object of into a cape rather than a mask as you will see the impact we wanted to create doesn't work.
1.06-1.12 - The invisibility section dragged on far to long which would make the views lose interest and also the invisibility transition we created on 'after effects' wasn't so effective after all and looked quite tacky pulling down the professionalism level we're attempting to achieve. So as I mentioned both Mel and I agreed to change the object in question, this will need some re filming.
Towards the end of the trailer it got better the shots were more interesting fitting with codes and conventions however the entire first draft was extremely slow to get across and for the amount of action going on in the trailer it's way to slow. I also feel alot of the shots are in the wrong order which brings the piece down.
