EVALUATION - Creativity and Our Trailer


For our coursework in A2 in were trying to create a teaser trailer for a film along with a marketing campaign of a film poster and a magazine cover. We took the generic conventions of teaser trailers and posters, mixed them with our own ideas and incorporated them into our own production.
The purpose of this was to attract an audience and create a buzz about our film. Since year 12 our creativity has greatly improved. We have learnt to consider our production details in more depth. We spent time planning and organising where we were going to film, the shots we were going to use, the mise-en-scene needed, sound etc. We used a variety of creative camera shots and angles to portray meaning into our trailer, such as high angles for vulnerability etc. and to make it more interesting. We were creative in the way in which we only filmed with the tripod. This was because from our previous ear 12 work with our film opening 'Racket' we mostly used handheld shots which made our film look like bad quality and blurry. With the use of a tripod, our shots were steady and much better quality. We incorporated music into our trailer, as we did not do previously in year 12, which made the feel for our trailer seem more real.
