Voice Over

When we finished the whole trailer we decided to add the iconic line from the movie "Tangled"- 'Rapunzel... Let down your hair...' We also decided to add a voice over on our production company logo as we thought it looked a bit bare.

Below are the clips:

Trailer Feedback

On Thursdays lesson, we had to display our trailer project to the class of what we had done so far.

As our piece was hardly put together as our filming schedule 2 was wrong and we hadn't yet filmed schedule 3 and we hadn't put the music on and the titles were not completed in an effective manner; this worried us hugely. 

When we showed our trailer, all we had out on the screen was the second part of the trailer and a few titles of where it would be placed, this left the trailer feeling very empty and confusing as the concept and the story were hardly put together. We had to explain what was missing, such as the music and the first sequence of the trailer, for them to realise that it was hardly completed. 

Although, our feedback were not as harsh or bad as we expected. They gave us hope that there could be potential with this and they appreciated and liked the majority of the shots, especially the one where Gothel sees the tower. 

Below are the feedback sheets. 

Majority of the feedback stated that majority of them "liked the variety of shots... framing... lighting... good use of mise en scene and location and costume" in terms of the shots and framing which was encouraging news, however they said that one ideal improvement that needs to be made was the "steadiness of the shots" which was good criticism because we needed to know and understand where.

The second half was about the editing and framing, where the majority stated "had a rough idea of the story line... the changes of shots... good titles and transitions and framing was well done." Although, they did say it did need to be "cut down... smoothness" which we agree with as we were a bit lost on how it would look put together.

The last part was how they though the sound was, two said that the "running was good" and the others mentioned that "there was no sound but when it will be on it will be good" all in all this was really constructive and easy for us to work with.

Cast Changes

As Nicole and her sister, Rachel originally going to be our two leads in the second sequence, this had to be changed due to the fact that her sister had an unfortunate accident and broke her ankle. We decided to go with Eva's neighbour Dania Saffaf and her sister Lana to play these roles which they did very well in. Below are their casting shots. 

Lana as Rosaline

Dania as Gretchen (stepmother)

Additional Music

When we finished editing all the action sequences of our trailer, we noticed that there was a massive difference in the way we wanted the audience to feel engaged and suspensed. This was down to not having the right and effective music. After doing much research via youtube we found the perfect music to match up to the expectations to what we wanted. Below is the music we decided to add on. 

How Filming Schedule 3 Went...

As filming schedule 2 did not go accordingly, we had to redo the shots and listen to the constructive criticism that was given to us and implement them this time round in filming. 

The shots that were taken place were  much easier and better controlled than the first time as we knew where we had done wrong and where we could improve and develop on them. 

There wasn't many issues or complications apart from the lighting, which was still dark, but we overcame this flaw, by using loads of desk lamps to enhance the lighting. 

Overall this time round of filming it has taught us to be more precise and aware about what we are doing and to concentrate on the end result to be a high standard. 

How Filming/Schedule 2 Went...

Filming the second part of our trailer was easier and quicker than we expected. This was due to the fact that there was only 1-10 shots needed at that maximum that only lasted for 5 seconds maximum. 

The location was spot on for the effect of it being a period film, also the furnishings were a good added bonus. 

The props that we used were easy enough to use and find so that made filming a lot easier. 

However, without realising there were major problems that we did not recognise; one of them being that a TV remote control was visibly seen in our shots and whilst the TV was on. 

Secondly, there was something covering the chair, that was an issue as it made the shots look awkward. 

Lastly, the lighting was too dark so in contrast with the other shots, it didn't work well together, making the filming and the whole trailer look really sloppy and unattractive.
