Dear Moderator,

Welcome to my A2 Media blog in which I show the stages I have been through in order to create my main product, a thriller film trailer titled "Eye Spy" along with two ancillary tasks, an "Eye Spy" film poster and a magazine front cover called "Uncut" which features my film trailer. You'll find all of these completed products directly below. My Research & Planning posts start in September and my Evaluation begins on March 11th.

I hope you enjoy,

Luke

Research & Planning: Audience feedback






Here is our audience feedback for our rough trailer

Research & Planning: Article Ideas


Research & Planning: Edited trailer


This is the edited version of our trailer which we filmed with hand held cameras, we added an MPAA message at the beginning to show it's a 15 age rating along with a green filter to give a rough night vision effect.  We adjusted the positioning of our production and distribution company logos, however, we are going to adjust the distribution company logo to make it a crisper image.  We added relevant transitions in order to build up tension and create a trailer that flows.

Research & Planning: Unedited Footage


Here is our raw footage we gathered for our trailer,  this is only a rough cut and will most likely be re-filmed for our actual trailer.

Research & Planning: iShowU Editing


Here is an iShowU of me and Abbie editing our footage for a rough cut of our trailer.  We edited in a green filter to create a rough night vision effect,  we also changed the speed of the clip in order to fit our non-diegetic sound effects.

Research & Planning: Editing Ideas

As you can see I have added:
  • A black eye to one of the "victims"
  • Blood splatters
  • A darker layer over the top to give it a thriller-like feel
  • A vignet effect
