Research on poster (Mel)

We researched several superhero movie posters and we found that most of them contain the logo as the main image, so we will probably link this back in to our own poster.

Focus Group on finished product

Thomas Hobbs

"I'm pleased you stuck with the opening sequence, the 'Dino productions' made it even stronger. I really enjoyed the trailer, I'd like to go and see this film"

Liam Wraxton

"The music works really well I really like how the tempo of the music fits with the action we're watching and the crescendo at the end is really strong. If I had to give you any critical feedback it would be to incude a wider range of shots in the action section at the end some seemed repetitive."

Bella McCrimmon

" The comic strip introduction really fits with the theme and I now understand the characters and plot much more."

Our finished trailer

This is our finished trailer.

Finished Soundtrack

We have decided that the song Ulysses doesn't really fit in with the action which is happening at the point where it is playing. So we went back to our contenders for the soundtrack audio, and found that we quite liked some of the effects in Pulps - Do You Remember The First Time? We also discovered that are some really nice sound effects which really suited the transfer of Bella becoming invisible. We worked this around the events in the trailer, so that the music came in and went out at the right time. This is our finished soundtrack:

Experience of watching the film.

There are many things which could effect the experience for the audience who are watching our trailer. When people watch our trailer they will be watching it in the cinema before they watch the movie that I have chosen. This means that they will be watching it on the big screen, and the sound will be of a high quality, which makes it more likely that they will be drawn to watch our film when it is realeased. Therefore they will be in Primary Involvement, as all of their attention will be focused on the screen, and they won't be doing any other tasks such as ironing at the same time.  After the viewing, in the post viewing stage, I hope that my trailer will remain on the audience's mind, and that they will not be able to forget it. This will hopefully mean that it has had some sort of impact on the viewers, which means that they will be likely to return to the cinema to see it.

Soundtrack Confirmation

We have confirmed the four songs that we will be using in our soundtrack. These are:

Plane - Jason Mraz
A Thousand Years - Christini Perri
Ulysses - Franz Ferdinand
Kick Ass Sound Score.

We have managed to merge these together to create a draft soundtrack:

Videos from rope swing.

These were the videos that I took from the rope swing at Go Ape. The first video is just one of me going along the rope swing first, so you can see what we were doing to capture the videos. You can see that we are attached to a harness which we are very safe in. We then jumped off of the platform and threw ourselves along the rope swing. They varied in length throughout the course, and I didn't video all of them. I think that these shots could be used to great success in our film trailer.

Problems and solutions:
Our main problem during and after shooting was the shakiness of the shots. Obviously, it was quite hard to hold the camera steady while I was moving fast along a zip wire, and I wanted to enjoy the experience without worrying too much about the camera. Luckily for us, on After Effects there is a feature which allows us to auto stabilise the footage, which should help greatly.
