Genre Powerpoint

I created a power point based on the genres of my two inital ideas for films.
i was first thinking about a horror/psychological film.
Another genre which i thought would suit me better, as its the type of films i watch can relate to is a drama.
This is because it wouldnt be a romantic comedy where it may be a issue writing a funny script or forcing funny scenes on a budget movie- and romantic ones can be quite cliche. But it would be more realistic for me to be able to create using issues that i see everyday that fits into drama genre rather than trying to find older actors to be in a psychological trailer.
I will try and include initial and final ideas- as i feel i have already tried to create story lines based on when we were given this task for our coursework.

What is my understanding of a teaser trailer

A teaser trailer is primarily used to advertise and rase awareness for an upcoming Film, television program, video game, or product. As the intention is to grab attention, teasers are normally between 30-90 seconds and contain bits of footage from the film. Released usually well in advance before the film to create hype and tension and get everyone ready for the begining of the release or even making of the film giving it time to get pulicised. An example of this could be alice in wonderland which was released a year before it was out.
Also superman had a teaser trailer released after the film release date was moved which was used to remind audience and make them wait. After researching conventions of a teaser trailer using www.filmeducation.org the basic aim needed during the trailer is:
Make you aware that the film will be opening in the future
Make you aware of who is in the film
Make you aware of the genre of the film
Give you an idea of the story of the film.



It is also used to create awareness such as
When will the film open?
What type of film is it?
Who is in it?
What other films that you have either seen or heard of feature these stars?


Sound tracks.
For my piece it is very important not to have copyrighted tracks so the best way to get around this is by using programs such as garage band

Other things to think about are the spoken word whether its from the actor or a voice over which i will have to look out for in other trailers.
For soundtrack music I will have to think of the way the music sets a mood and what it sets out for you. At the same time it should be constant and fit the genre well.

Introduction to Media Alevel

For this half of my A2 level, i have decided to create a promotion package for a new film which will consist of research, plan and film my own teaser trailer. Along with this, i will need to create ancillary products such as a filming for the final products being poster and a magazine front cover (or a web page). I will need to make sure that all of these link together and have the same theme.
I will spend my research time looking into genres of films and connotations of a trailer. My overall film should be about 30 seconds to a minute long.

This blog is a way to record and evaluate my stages and final pieces.
