Research

Decided to start some research into other film trailers, as this is what me and Chloe have decided to complete a film trailer as our main project film, youtube is the best place to look for videos and there were many professionally constructed pieces we looked at as an example of techniques used by the industry, here are some of those videos:





These are all films that are well known enough to have a good reputation and to have a good looking trailer but they are not big budget films with huge special effects, so I can learn more from films that are more realistic as I will have to make a trailer that does not involve Special Effects and my trailer will have to look realistic, this is why I believe I can learn from the above trailers.

I have also researched other A2 media projects on youtube, as a surprisingly large amount of students post their trailers online, here are some examples:




I believe researching past efforts of making a film trailer by people who are in the same situation as me might help, as I can learn from their mistakes and pick up on techniques they used that worked well and made the footage less amateur. There are some good trailers featured there and some that could use some work but I think overall researching previously made coursework attempts will help me as they made their trailers in the same position I will and so they have the same technology as me.
