Final Teaser Trailer...

This is my final teaser trailer. For some reason after the video has played there is just a blank screen and music :s Please ignore this.


Teaser trailer posters...

After doing some research on the internet about teaser trailer posters I have found a few I liked. I am going to take concepts from each to put together my own teaser trailer posters.


This is the UK trailer for " The Last Song". I like this trailer because the fonts used are modern and work well with the colour schemes used. It is enjoyable to look at and I like the way they have faded the pictures into each other. The colours all work well together and the different sized fonts add interest. Although this poster includes lots of information about the film such as, title, release date, actors, directors ect. my poster will not include as much information although I would like to use a similar font and arrange my pictures in a similar way.


In contrast to The Last Song, this poster contains only one picture. The connotations of this picture are that it is about a guy, who possibly isnt that good looking and a beautiful women and he tries his luck with her. This poster incluse the title, release date and directors, producers ect. Again I really like to fonts used and the different colours add interest. "How can a 10 go for a 5?" supports the connotations of the picture and is possibly a catchphrase from the film.



This poster is slightly different to the others I have chosen as it introduces the audience to all the main characters in one go. Although "The final chapter" is not the title, as it is the fourth film in a series, pragmatically the audience will understand this. A large "S" which the audience can also connect with previous Shrek films take up most of the poster and then the characters smaller at the bottom. The trailer includes the release date, and production companies. I like the pragmatics and connotations involved in this poster although this is not possible for my poster as it is the first film made. This poster is closest to the one I would like to design as it only gives away release date and not the title, director or actors.

Final Edit..

I have finally finished filming and editing my final teaser trailer. I have included many different conventions of teaser trailers. For example, my teaser trailer is 58 seconds long. Many teaser trailers are short in length in order to leave the audience interested and not give away too much about the film.
I have included titles to break up the clips in my film, such as:










And at the end of the film, instead of giving away the title, I have only let my audience know the release date and who is starring in it and directing it:

Film Voiceover..

For my final teaser trailer I have decided not to use dialogue as the titles I have included help tell the story. I have used two different tracks for the soundtrack:

If you seek Amy - Britney Spears

&

I Giorni - Ludovico Einaudi

I have chosen these tracks because they fit well together and also help create the mood and atmosphere I wanted for my film. The recording of I Giorni is a recording of myself playing the piano, I then uploaded it and used it in my film.
