Week 2 – Film Trailer
In our second week of 122MC we looked at the nature of genre and narrative, looking at different theories and concepts.
Our second task was to create a film trailer made for Global Care Charity. It had to be 1-3 minutes long targetting students, using raw footage as well as any extra filming, audio or added text we wished to include.
In our trailer we needed a narrative running through it, and incorporate ideas from the lecture in terms of theorists and concepts.
With Global Care primarily focusing there work on poor and orphaned children who have been left or ran away from home. Therefore we as a group decided to adapt this to make our narrative for our film trailer.
Our film is a story based around a little girls life who regularly witnesses her father beating her mother. Wanting to protect her daughter and prevent him turning on her she tells her daughter to leave and run away. She leaves and runs in to the arms of the Global Care Charity and they help her restore her life, educate her and giver her the best chance in life. Years later she returns back to her old home seeing her mother and a close friend (who she falls in love with within the film) again since she left.
Below is our final trailer, I am really pleased with how it looks. The only thing that I would change is the quality as it is very fussy in certain parts. However I am pleased with how well as a group we worked and I think that this is reflected in the final piece.
