Certification

We as a group decided that our film would be rated PG. We originally decided it would be a 12 but then we realized that as there is no violence or romantic scenes, we could make it a PG as younger audiences would definitely be allowed to watch it, however, we didn't want to rate it a U because there are some scenes young viewers may find upsetting (the mother of the main character dying whilst the main character is of a young age).

Costume & Makeup

 

Costume and Makeup:

The protagonist and our main character, Sophie and the other characters will not be wearing make-up as it is not vital to our trailer. If they are wearing make-up it will be minimal and natural. However, the main character, Sophie, will be wearing mascara to make her eyes stand out more and it will help when we film extreme-close up of her eyes. Sophie does not need to wear lots of make-up as she is representing a ‘normal’ teenage girl. However, as shown in the picture, she will have a birthmark/tattoo on her wrist which represents her ability to time travel and the bond between herself, her mother and her grandmother. Due to the fact that we are not using much make-up, the audience can focus more on the narrative of the trailer rather than the appearance of the main character which is what we want. She will also just be wearing jeans and shirts/t-shirts and a coat as we want Sophie to represent a ‘normal’ teenager so we do not need her to wear any costumes as the costume is not that important to our trailer.

Green Rating Screen for Trailer - Pics

This is us making the green rating screen on Paint. We got some inspiration by looking at trailers and what the trailers' green screen said and we changed it slightly to make it more relevant to our trailer.

 This is the final green screen version that we will add to our trailer.

Ideas for Sci-Fi Trailer

R3 Film Trailer - First Draft

Evaluation

There are quite a few things that are good about our first draft but also some things that could be improved and added to make it a better trailer.

What is good about the first draft of your trailer?

I am happy with the shots we have in our first draft as they are of high quality and they look professional and good for our trailer and also the editing of the shots such as the reverse and fast forward also improved the shots and made them look more sci-fi for our trailer so it fits in with the genre well. I like the way the logos came out, they look very professional and we made sure that our company name fit in with the sci-fi genre by going with the name of ‘Shuttle Productions’. I also think some of the music and sound effects used in our trailer work well together and fit in with the shots that we had on the trailer.

What can be improved?

I think that more shots needed to be added into our trailer as at the moment, as we are missing the main narrative it doesn't look much like a trailer but if we add the shots that we need of the main narrative, it will make more sense to our audience and be more structured. The editing could be improved so that it flows better like a trailer does rather than having it look jumbled up and maybe have more varied transitions rather than fade to black. We also definitely need to add more titles as we only have two titles and titles also help structure the trailer better and also help with the narrative of the trailer and it also helps the audience to understand what our trailer is about.

Institutional Logo Ideas

This is one of the logos that we came up with. We went with a spaceship as that is immediately associated with sci-fi. I also came up with the idea of calling it 'Comet Productions' which also links to the sci-fi genre.

Another logo idea we came up with was the name of 'Illusion Productions' and we also made the logo an illusion and we coloured it in blue which symbolizes sci-fi genre as blue is associated with sci-fi.

This is the final idea we had for our logo. We came up with the name 'Galaxy Productions' to emphasise the sci-fi genre. We also made the background look like the sky and we added stars to link the galaxy with the name and it further enforces that our trailer is a sci-fi.

Institutional Logo for Trailer - Construction Pics

Here is the initial idea for our institutional logo and the name of our production company.

This is the logo being made. We had the idea of moving the scrabble pieces, taking lots of pictures and then making the pictures move fast to go like a clip.

This is the final picture of our institutional logo after we moved the tiles to create these words.
