Ancillary Task 1- Poster First Draft

Feedback

• The writing across the top isn't suitable and conveys the wrong message. It makes it seem as if the film is set in the 60's.
• The spacing isn't ideal with the title going across the characters head.
• The gold along the bottom isn't effective as you can't see the release date against the guitar.
• Furthermore the release date should be more central and bold because i is important information.
• Also the age rating isn't a common convention of film posters.

Planning- Proof of Copyright Free Music

We found this copyright free music through YouTube. We did this by searching for "copyright free dramatic movie trailer music". Having found what we wanted through this channel we went about asking this person to use his music and we then received this response. Once our trailer is completed and uploaded to YouTube we plan on crediting this channel for its music and we will link this person's YouTube channel in the description like they have asked.

Planning- Animatic

Our Feedback from the class in reaction to this animatic was:

Things that were good:

• The film had good continuity, where the plot was easy to understand of an individual trying to reach the top of his profession, starting from the bottom and working his way up.
• A musical genre was conveyed well through the use of props, such as a guitar and microphone. 
• Music suited the trailer; was dramatic which helped suit the times when the character was within hard times during certain moments of the trailer.

Things that could be improved:

• The way in which fame was portrayed did not convince the viewers that the individual had become a celebrity icon in the latter stages of the trailer.
• Locations could be elaborated on, perhaps using a more musical environment such as a recording studio.
• The inclusion of at least one adult actor to convince viewers that the individual is working in a professional business environment, when trying to secure a record deal.

Planning- Pitch Feedback

Action Plan in response to Pitch Feedback:

• Research artists and copyright free music to incorporate a musical genre in to the film without the need of the lead actor having to sing/play music himself within the trailer.
• Research as many ways/conventions on how to convey fame. Watch other short films with a similar musical genre as mine.
• Consider adding a twist to the story line to avoid typical route to the top style narrative.

Action Plan- Week 1

This week we have given a pitch to the class and got feedback from the class on what they think of our idea for our film. From our feedback we realised that we needed to be able effectively convey 'fame'. At this present time we haven't thought about how to portray 'fame' in our film. Over the next few weeks we hope to resolve this.

Our plan for the rest of the week is to watch trailers that will help us understand trailer conventions such as quick cuts, voice overs and text between clips. By analysing this we should be able to include these things in our own product.

Planning- Initial Ideas

Our first idea was a trailer for a feature film about a young man searching for fame via a path into the music industry. This main character has very little going for him in his life, as he his not wanted by his family and has been forced on to the streets to find his own way in life. His only possession is his beloved acoustic guitar. The trailer is centered around showing how this main character finds his way to fame, in a long and tough journey which has many ups and downs along the way, which includes a chance to record a single for next to nothing, to suddenly being propelled to mass fame and attention almost over life. This is a story of a man who had nothing, to having everything.

Our second idea is also a film trailer centered around a group of professional thieves who break in to facilities to collect data for whoever pays them too. The trailer shows each of the four main characters within this group, the hacker who operates behind the desk, the driver, the dealer who supplies all the necessary I.D and the team leader who goes in to retrieve the data. The trailer will reveal the main story line plot where this group of thieves are set-up by king-pin character where they must escape a high perimeter building armed heavily with defenses. An action thriller movie.
