Evaluation - Question 4

Evaluation - Question 3

This is a short video of our target audience watching the trailer and giving our group feedback. 

Here is a voice recording of feedback from our fellow media class members. We decided to show everyone the clips that we had previously filmed (not edited fully) to gain some reference of what was good and what we needed to improve on. We recorded this feedback and this is was their responses.

Completed Final Trailer - Bloodline

'WolfPack' Production Logo

Here is the final Animated Production Logo for our Trailer 'Bloodline. We plan to use this Production Logo at the beginning of our trailer and therefore we will most likely cut the animation so that it starts around 0:06 seconds.

Music

After many hours of searching for royalty free music, our group came to the decision of using these two soundtracks. We choose these two soundtracks as from our research into other real media trailers, we found that a gradual strong beat built tension and enticed the audience. We also choose a much faster, intense Dubstep beat which was extremely necessary for the montage shots. Below is the music that will be used in the trailer.

Voiceover

My group also used GarageBand to record the voiceovers for the trailer. It wasn't too complex for us to us it but it was advanced enough for what we wanted to achieve. Below is a screenshot of the recording on GarageBand.  

Bloodline Logo & Release Date Construction

Scene 2: Urban subway for the violent, 'rushing scene'.

Scene 4: Conversation scene.

Audience Feedback

Here is a voice recording of feedback from our fellow media class members. We decided to show everyone the clips that we had previously filmed (not edited fully) to gain some reference of what was good and what we needed to improve on. We recorded this feedback and this is was their responses. 

Influential Film Trailers

This is a film trailer that has really captured my groups attention, whereby many aspects of this trailer can be incorparated into our teaser trailer. The storyline of the film 'Shank' relates significantly to our Urban Drama, 'Bloodline'. It depicts a close knit relationship between brothers which shows how the lives can change significantly to result back to crime. From watching this trailer, we feel that the non-digetic voiceover plays a major roll in giving the audience an understanding of the storyline, drawing the viewer in.
Furthermore, we have realised that we need a larger amount of montage shots to pull the whole trailer together. This will make the storyline less obvious for the audience while highlight the genre to entice the target audience.

Detailed Shot List

This is an updated, detailed version of our shot list. It shows how the trailer will be structured, and the different shots stated with each scene. We have also highlighted where we would put the voiceovers so we can relate it to the scenes.

Dialogue

Here are the different types of Dialogues that will be used during filming and outside filming. the Dialogues will give the trailer structure and help the audience to partly understand the genre and storyline.

Sharing Footage

Here are two ways our group have managed to show and share filmed clips. We have used GoogleDrive and Dropbox to upload our filmed clips so that everyone in our group has access to them. Therefore, after a day of filming, we can quickly and easily share our content with each other. It is also useful as it allows us to have the clips with us everywhere we go (e.g: in school & at home) which helps with editing.

Below are examples of our uploaded footage to GoogleDrive and Dropbox:

Communication

We have used a group chat on Whatsapp to communicate with each other and discuss filming and editing. It allows our group to share information on where we will be shotting a scene and what time etc. It is also extremely good because it is a free app and gives you real time messaging allowing us to send messages, photos and videos to the whole group at one time. Above is a couple of examples of the application and what we discuss.

Shot List

This is the initial basic shot list for the trailer storyline, which we constructed at the start of the production. We have managed to capture most of these various shots but there are many additions to add to the list as more ideas are formed.

1. Establishing shot of countryside, with various shots of Ose walking in the countryside.
2. Ose talking to Kofi on urban streets, in various mid shots – “Gotta get out of this life, you’re my brother, I’ve always got your back” – close up of Kofi looking down.
3. Montage shots involving the landscape and urban streets.
4. Running scene of Ose, jumping – voiceover “I was raised on the street, life on the road ain’t easy. This ain’t how I wanna live no more”.
5. Montage shots of urban streets.
6. Scene of Kofi meeting the set up chick then getting beaten up. Shot on the phone of him being recorded.
7. Shot of phone on the table, then of Ose answering the phone - “heard you moved outta ends, you can’t move outta this life you know” “I hear you”
8. Large montage of everything.
9. Ose in the corner of a building, Then a black scene with gunshots.

Initial Storyboard

Here is a basic storyboard sample for our trailer, highlighting the key shots and scenes that will be incorporated in the trailer. There will be further storyboards to be upload as film begins and ideas generate. 

Final Magazine Front Cover

After some critical feedback from my teacher and some more extensive research, I concluded that the main image should be changed to a more straight/head on shot as this is a more powerful and strong shot used in magazines. Therefore, I took another shot of the protagonist in this shot with the intense emotion and replaced the original main image, I used the same technique as I did the previous image for the effects. Also, I decided to move the sell lines (on the right hand-side) and barcode more over to the edge of the magazine while making them slightly bigger. Finally, I made the banner images all the same size as this would add to the professionalism of the magazine.
