PLANNING: Template Trailer

Using the software Imovie I made a trailer with a template that they had already made. This allowed me to find out about the pace of a trailer along with what type of shots I needed more of. I have also decided to included words in my trailer in order to help the viewer pick up the narrative. Due to the fact that I used a sports trailer it was really fast paced as it included mainly action shots. Therefore when I make my trailer I am going to include longer clips in order to make it less jumpy.



After making a sports trailer using the Imovie template I decided to make a documentary style trailer also using the  same software. This made the pace a lot slower, which is how I want mine to be. It also includes quotes and words relating to this film. As I have planned on doing this in mine it allowed me to see what it would look like and the affect it has. I should also think about incorporating awards which my trailer has won. I like the simplicity of this style of trailer and feel that I should base mine on one similar to this. Also the words help to form a narrative therefore I should think about making a narrative for my trailer.

After making the trailer I have decided that I need to film more close up and medium shots. I should also film some more action shots as well as long shots, as this will give me a variety of shot types and make my trailer more interesting. Both these trailers have made me realise that I need to film in another location.
