Film title placement

While developing my film trailer, I struggled to find a placement for the films title. To help, I decided to revisit the majority of my film trailers that previously analysed.


The film titles all appear to be shown roughly at the same section on all trailers, which is roughly the final 1/16th of the trailer. Therefore, I shall attempt to add the title of my film in the same area.

Feedback - Music choice & Additional clips

Hamish - The clips added add more context to the final clips, however, the clips already existing are too long, and don't really add the aspect of action in which you've stated are intended too.

Jack - The music added certainly adds a humorous and more slower affect to the beginning, which is what your intention was, i believe, and definitely fits together.  Sound levels should be improved so that voices can be heard  over the music.

Perry - The music improves it, slightly, and has manged to immerse me more. The ending is dull, not enough action, so far you've only managed to portray a shoddy comedy, in which the comedy comes from bad acting. I suggest re-filming some more actions shots and adding them to the end.



I shall act upon this feedback, and begin filming some more footage of action ASAP. Untill more shots are taken, editing shall continue with more sound being added, and change the sound levels for the correct balance.

Roughcut Development

These are further developments added to my initial rough cut

Additions include music at the start, introduction slides added, and a few more scenes also added.
Video was uploaded to youtube due to Vimeo's upload limit per week, therefore, key essential videos will be uploaded to Vimeo, where as development videos will be posted onto youtube.





The song chosen for the start was not in the initial selected song list, however, after trying with these songs, they didn't fit the purpose. While overhearing the song Eliza Doolittle - Missing, I liked the introduction section. Researched then found the beginning to be a sample from The Fleetwoods - Come Softly to me. This is the song used during the introduction.

Feedback

Hamish - So far so good, although some footage may be needed to be retaken due to poor acting.

Jack - Slightly humorous, with some music added, it should be improved 100%

Perry - It was neither good nor bad, mildly funny, however I'm unsure if the humour was coming from the poor acting or the context of the video itself. I suggest further development then ask me again.



It is clear that the film has had mixed reactions, however, it has been suggested to carry on this path of development.
