Survey for the teaser trailer rough cut 1

Here are the following 9 questions that i created after the creation of my teaser trailer rough cut 1:

1. Does this production entice you into wondering, what is ForeSight?


2. What genre does the trailer portray?


3. How do you feel about the music? E.g. does it fit in with the trailer? Or does it flow and incorporate well within the teaser trailer?

4. Do you feel that this trailer would fulfil its purpose as a teaser trailer to entice an audience?


5. How would you describe the trailer?


6. Would it make you want to ask more questions about ForeSight?


7. Are you interested in further developments of ForeSight?


8. What was the most memorable/eye catching moment within the trailer?


9. How could this trailer be improved?


The results were very positive and i have recieved various opinions on how i can improve. One elemant that seemed to pop up on numerous occasions was the music, it was seen as a key element of the trailer and the majority of questionaires copmpleted said it went with the trailer excellently. I also receieved commenst on how the music can be improved, for example their could have been more levels of depth throughout the music. Aswell as this level of depth throughout the music another aspect that is in need of improving is the level of titles.

I will develop this trailer further taking into concideration the feedback which i have recieved. I will focus on the development of a more layed music composition, yet keep the sombre connotations meanwhile i shall create grander titles to create a more proffesional looking, and eye catching production.

Teaser Trailer Rough Cut 1

Here is my first rough cut of my teaser trailer for ForeSight. Any form of feedback will be excellent! And I must Thank James McCormick for the composition, Thanks James!

It is only a short piece that is aimed to be very eye catching and unique which focuses around the excellent composition. Its key aim was to be mysterious, and make audiences beg questions and research ForeSight into more detail, it was aimed to give very little away, meaning audiences can use their imagination to ponder what is the plot line and continue to create questions.

Anyway folks here it is, i recommend that you watch it within its HD format:

Photo Storyboard for Teaser Trailer

Here is the photo storyboard for my teaser trailer, as you see it is different from the sketched. This was because after I received the music piece I was going to work around from James McCormick I visualised a much more structured idea that created a bigger tone of mystery that I wanted to portray within the teaser trailer.

Sketched Story Board for Teaser Trailer

Here are the sketched storyboards that i used for my teaser trailer of Foresight:

James McCormick

My good friend James McCormick has finished the first attempt of the Ludovico Einaudi's 'Ancora' piece that I asked for, Here it is:

I am very pleased with it, it is exactly the right pacing and tone that I wanted.

Quick Shot list for Teaser Trailer

Here is a section of the theatrical trailer which i wish to turn into a teaser trailer, it is aimed to be a very short peice of footage that doesnt give alot of clues as to what the production is about. It is aimed at enticing audiences into asking questions such as 'I wonder what this is about?' I aim to use the section of Ludovico Einaudi's Ancora that my good friend James McCormick has covered by my request. This will be a focal part of the teaser trailer as the images shown will follow the parth of the sombre piano.

Take into concideration that the shots will only last for very short periods of time and there are intervals where the music slows down however ere is a simple shot list for the teaser trailer:

1	CU on protagonists girlfriends face,
2	ES looking down upon London,
3	MS police beating up a victim on the floor,
4	CU on protagonists girlfriends face,
5	MS of body sleeping on floor at night
6	LS of person running through alley
7	BEV onto falling piece of paper
8	MS people running
9	LS crowd of people
10	LS train shot half a second
12	EST onto key buildings
13	ECU Girlfriends Eye shot half a second
14	POV onto someone needing help
15	POV onto shot of smashed balcony window
16	ECU onto girlfriends eye
17	POV onto dark alleyway
18	POV onto ruined building
19	ECU onto girlfriends eye
20	POV onto bare Pier
21	POV onto crowd of strikers
22	ECU onto Girlfriends eye

Music

I take a huge amount of inspiration from music when creating a production, it helps me focus and follow a path that is direct. After coming up with the concept I found many compositions of music which I took inspiration from, including:

Ludovico Einadui - Fly


Ludovico Einadui - Ancora

M83 - Midnight City

I took huge inspiration from all three of these tracks, M83's pulsating electric synthesisers too Einaudis slow, gentle yet sombre compositions.

My friend James McCormick studied a music degree, and i approached him to see if he would be up for getting involved within this trailer. Thankfully James has agreed and i have asked for a cover of the final stages of Ancora, which i wish to use in a varied set of montage shots throughout the trailer and for the use within a mysterious teaser trailer. I have also asked for a cover of Fly which I wish to be using throughout the begging stages of the theatrical trailer, I asked James to recreate the pacing of fly yet have an even lower sombre feel to create further connotations of struggle.

Shooting Script

Here is the shooting script for my theatrical trailer of foresight.

Piano Music 1 is inspiration from 'Fly' by Ludovico Einaudi. This piece is aimed to be fast paced with a sombre tone to create an impression of turmoil for the protagonist.

Piano Music 2 on the other hand is inspiration from 'Ancora' by Ludovico Einaudi. This is also aimed to contain a sombre tone, however it is a much slower pace with pauses which will integrate with the editing.
