This is the first draft for our trailer. We both did basic editing techniques such as cutting and trimming clips, muting the audio of our clips and choosing copyright free music to use. Although this does not include a voiceover, we do intend to have one from our main character Izzy as narration and therefore we want to add this to our next draft. After showing this draft to our teachers and peers we got feedback including:
- Add captions to do with friendship/family for example to explain the story and make the length longer
- Change the order of some clips to fit with conventions of a trailer
- Move 'From the creators of 'Rosie'' to the beginning
Second Draft
As well as adding our voiceover, we applied the other improvements we received to our trailer which was mostly moving clips around. Something we did which I personally think is a huge improvement was making the clips under the voiceover a slower pace to convey the drama and sadness, and this fit well with the non diegetic sound. Comparing this to other trailers, I thought the slow motion adhered well with films of the same genre as 'The Fault in Our Stars' for example uses this technique in their trailer. We got more feedback on this draft including:
- Make the relationship between the brother more clear
- Explain more about Ava's illness
We had the option of making a draft without the brother to see if the narrative was easy to follow, but as this would remove a lot of our footage and take the time of our trailer down considerably, we decided against this. If we had more time to film with our actors then this may have been a good thing to do. However we thought of adding more voiceover or captions to explain that Izzy has lost one friend and wants to find another and this is something we will do in our next edit.
